Braaaains

[da]

My new office is narrow, close to an often-beeping ATM, and it's too full of desks (granted, I might be able to have one removed).

But, it has a window, on the ground-floor, facing a roadway. And the window is mirrored. So there might be good people-watching. Yesterday there were two buff shirtless guys walking past looking at themselves (or each other?) in the mirror.

I idly considered putting in a webcam, but I won't, no matter how much certain people think it's a good idea.

...Today I'm a zombie. (Braaains?)

I slept more than 9 hours last night, which I hope catches me up on sleep-debt. Why is it that you feel tired and loopy after sleeping too long?

I don't think it's that you're plunked into REM sleep for the last bit and you're bound to wake up confused from dreams, since I've been up for two hours and I'm still feeling the same way, like I just woke up.

Does it matter how many people think it's a good idea?

Hm. Mmmmaybe.

I like webcams. If bribed sufficiently (I like beer too) we could even monitor the webcam, a la bunnycam.

Do you know if things are under way to update your uwdir entry for your new office?

Good question; it probably takes a day or two; but I'll make sure it gets changed, thanks.

I told him it was a good idea last night on the phone. (He also didn't realize that this is a popular suite of offices, either, which it is...)

If you're up for a little bit of controlled mischief for your own benefit, it might be worth experimenting with various ways to block the beeping. It's a pretty piercing high frequency noise, so a small amount of blocking might reduce its annoyance quite a bit, and won't be that difficult (low frequency sounds are much harder to block). Maybe a piece of self-adhesive rubberized flashing--I have some in our research hut, if you'd care for some. Of course, that assumes there's a visible speaker opening.
