Lazy and ridiculous

November 21, 2008

Here’s a definition of lazy and ridiculous for you: sharing a light bulb between two lamps because there are no more unused light bulbs in the house, and you haven’t gotten around to buying more.

(Brother enters bedroom, sits on bed)

“Hey, I need you to tell me what chocolates you want. The orders need to be in by tomorrow.”

“Yeah, sure. Just hold on a sec…”

(Chanel walks over to desk, unscrews light bulb from—)

“—What are you doing?”

“Getting us light so I can see”

(Brother gives me crazy looks, doubts my sanity)

“Okay then…”

That’s right, folks. Twice a day, I unscrew light bulbs. I unscrew the light bulb from the lamp on my bedside table (used for reading, the night before) and screw it into the lamp on my desk when I need to work. Then, 12 hours later, I unscrew the light bulb from desk lamp and screw it back into the lamp on my bedside table when I want to read. The next morning, the routine repeats itself.

And you thought you were bad.

    OMG LOL. Haha! Wow! Maybe you should buy those halogen/long lasting bulbs… when you eventually get around to buying some. :)

    That doesn’t sound lazy, that sounds like a lot of work! And a lot of potential for burned fingers.

    Obviously, it doesn’t bother you :-) I always buy bulbs in two sets because I just have to have light with my dead ears.

    I don’t have any specific examples for myself, but that sounds like something I’d do.
