i wear my sunglasses at work.

Filed under: stuff — meg @ 8:14 am

All the fluorescent lights on our floor have been replaced and the result is SO BRIGHT.

SO BRIGHT.

SO BRIGHT.

SO FREAKIN’ BRIGHT.

A few bulbs will be unscrewed to take us back down to a non-napalm state by the end of the week, after a landlord inspection.

BUT. SO BRIGHT.

I didn’t have my sunglasses on me this morning. So now I’m wearing my co-workers glasses in the hopes that I won’t end up with a migraine in a couple of hours. Fluorescents are one of my big triggers.

Cross your fingers!

    just curious if your office would spring for the full-spectrum bulbs? i get major migraines with real florescent lights. i put the full spectrum (GE Reveal brand, i think?) ones in my office and it is so much better…they give off a blueish glow actually, and it is much more tranquil than regular ones.

    My fingers are crossed for you. There’s nothing worse than a headache, Monday morning.

    I heard something on the radio this morning on some Glen Beck show or something and they were talking about fluorescent lights and what it promotes.

    -irritability
    -exhaustion
    -seizures

    right!?

    I am boycotting them as of………NOW

    I am with you here, Meg.

    I also had full-specturm lights put in my interior no-window office because of the constant headaches.

    Good luck.
