A Word to the Wise

Never discuss replacing your monitor (which resembles Oliver Wendell Jones's one from Bloom County) with the head of computer support, while sitting in front of it. Otherwise, it will start showing lines across the screen and leave junk visible when you close various windows, making everything you type virtually unreadable.

As annoying as that is for me, imagine how the monitor feels, knowing it's about to be replaced with a flat-screen.
