I think I have a new obsession
« on: June 30, 2007, 12:19:43 PM »
Fluorescent lights.


I can't stop looking at them and staring at them and enjoying the different brands of them. I even watched a technical guy at work changing one last night and I talked to him about them. They're so old you can see the gas moving in them. I don't mean the lights, I mean the things you put them in.

I asked him stupid questions, "What are you doing? "Why are you changing it."

I talked to him the whole time right when I first saw it. I asked him why they are in the long plastic tube and he said in case they break and the glass won't go everywhere, it's a safety thing. He also saw the lines running in them too and said it was the gas. When he first put it in I thought I heard a hissing sound and then it stopped after it went out as he was putting it in. Then when it went on again, I didn't hear such sound so I figured it was my imagination. Those things are so old he has to use scotch tape to tape them on so they won't fall out of those things.


I don't know if he put up with me because I'm a girl, it's hard to say. Employees are to treat each other with respect so there is no bullying or threats or put downs so I'm safe.

it's just that i used to change those bulbs for a living when i was going to college.

and it was a turn and burn operation. 
i may have put up with it if i could see down your blouse when i was on my ladder.  8)

MODEST MOUSE LYRICS

"She Ionizes And Atomizes"

She ionizes and atomizes
Then turns to sunlight
He realizes and itemizes
Pulls harder than gravity
She ionizes and atomizes
Then turns to sunlight
Flourescent lightbulbs will make
An absense of dark, but
The light just aint there still and she said
"I'm feeling empty,
The real lights can make you heavy but
Never ever really empty
Flourescent lights will always equal empty."

I like the pink ones better than the blue ones.
Where I used to work, they changed over to the blue fluorescent lights from the pink ones.
