It Makes Me Nauseous

There’s a industrial strength pencil sharpener over the wall in the next cubicle.

When the draftsman, er… draftswoman uses it, the display on my monitor goes all wonky. A warped, vibrating display. Makes me queasy.

If the sharpening noises would just start a split second earlier, I could learn to look away for those 5 seconds.

Just an annoying office observation.

    I hate when things make the monitors go all jiggy.

    At my office when the A/C kicks on mine gets jiggy for a few seconds. It’s annoying.

    The jiggyness started on my monitor years ago, right after that Pink Floyd concert.

    Dear JohnJohn, here’s the latest dirty trick – office pencil sharpeners.

    Do not adjust your monitor – we have assumed control.
    We control the veritcal,
    We control the horizontal
    We control the media -
    Mwahahah.
