It's not just that everyone looks terrible under fluourescent lighting, but it saps their energy too. Ok, and they also look terrible. There I said it. You have to see the same people five days a week and they're all wan and baggy. And then they make a lunge for you at the Christmas party. Yuck.
Well,
most architects don't use the lighting system as linked below (and found on [django]'s fabulous "Underground egg home dome"). So you just need an oversized rectangular chinese rice paper lantern to cover their cheap, stinky fluourescent lights.
That's it!
better lighting

something above that has been deleted made me think of : a rice paper hat!. Throw in some minor oragami, & you can't lose. |
|
| |
please forgive, but my muse calls for a fool: |
|
| |
I see you got your new rice paper oragami hat
Yes, I see you got your new rice paper oragami hat
Well, You must tell me how your head feels under something like that!
Under your brand new rice paper oragami hat!
4 more verses, but I'll quit while I still imagine myself a head. |
|
| |
I can make a paper airplane, will that do? |
|
| |
sorry, [P&P], I'll make it up to you sometime... |
|
| |
Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I assumpt on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it's really that exquisite kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a notion floats there
fleeting like a crime
Your brand new rice paper oragami hat! |
|
| |
Well, If you wanna see a nice light,
Honey, I know where
We'll both go out and see it sometime
We'll both just sit there and stare
Me with my office
light shining 'round my head
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new rice paper oragami hat! |

(sorry, Bob! - ah, hell. it's true what they say isn't it. I apologize too much. So, How'd ya' like that Bob?) |
|
| |
no apologies necessary [Zimmy]. I like the poem. |
|
| |
[rcarty], I disagree that it's no idea. It's just a lame idea. It was late at night and I was high off of the "egg home dome". |
|
| |
Doesn't bother me none. I'll take the sudden rise in plus votes as an indication I should delete my [m-f-d]. Where were those votes for the last three days, huh? Huh? |
|

I have forced myself to admit that all I did was change some of the words from "Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat" |
