I work in IT and here is an email from a chick!

Subject: Replacement of PC monitor

Hi,

My (old style) monitor is just below a thermostat for the air conditioning, and lately the temperature in my pod has ben very cold. Property have sent the Air Con maintenance guys to check it out, and they have confirmed that the cool temperature is due to the heat coming from the back of my monitor giving the thermostat a false reading.

Therefore, for Occupational Health and Safety purposes I would like to request a flat screen monitor, as this will not interfere with the thermostat as much. This has been approved by ....

Many thanks,

She got an LCD Approved lol!!

Sensational!

Hmmm.. I might have to give that a go. It's as good an excuse as any!

Good try!

I used to work in an office where the thermostat that controlled my space was in the office of another worker, even though we each had separate rooms.

That had the capability of making my room rather uncomfortable when I had three pcs and he was absent.

must be the season for it, I got this one yesterday.

> Hello xxx,

The hours I spend in front of my laptop is affecting my eyes and causing me headaches. I am visiting the optometrist again later today.

Can you advise if I can get a larger screen for my computer. I am at the stage now that I will have to reduce the hours in front of my computer so would like some advise on this as soon as possible.

If this is approved I believe you can get desk top kits which includes wireless keyboard and mouse and 19" flat screens.

I believe XXX has some eye issues also. He is on this email and can expand on what he may require.

Regards,

I always thought that the reason that a field rep got a laptop was because they spend more time on the road & with customers doing their job than they do in front of a computer.

I'm in the same kinda situation right now

The cafe next door to the bakery I work in controls the thermostat... When it's 7 degrees in the mornings they pump up the heater... not too good for the bakers working infront of the oven! It's hotter working in winter than it in summer sometimes.

Well you wouldn't be alone... people love looking in the window (I'm pretty sure they're watching the production though, not my good looks ) I've often thought about charging people to watch... Sometimes I feel a bit like a monkey in a cage. lol. The favourite activity to watch is a new apprentice trying to cut and grate 20kgs of cheese for their first time.

I buy cheese pre-grated from Coles hehe!
WOW Ive never thought of 20kgs of cheese before thats massive!!
