    We used to keep the light off in the tech bullpen. There were no windows but enough lights from the screens to keep people from tripping over themselves walking to their desks. Fucking director level POS hated it. When he didn’t have anything to do he’d come back there and loudly exclaim “I don’t see how y’all can work in the dark!”

    It’s almost like different people work different ways and have different levels of comfort. I can deal with either just fine but damn, don’t just loudly pronounce shit and change the environment immediately. That absolutely stops pretty much everyone from working because they want to bitch about how it’s different now.

    I think it was 50/50 not giving a shit about the comfort of others and wanting attention because he was as useless as a bag of used microplastics.

      Lol people see me in the dark with a laptop and backlit keyboard and are like "how can you see / read in the dark?

      Like wtf it’s backlit. IDC what’s happening in this - until recently - otherwise uninhabited room.

        I have a backlit keyboard, but the light is always off. If you can’t type by feel and you work on a computer then what the hell are you doing? I will never understand how people can’t work on a light up screen in the dark.
