Future's so bright.

I am very lucky. I have an office that is on the 15th floor in a downtown building that has an awesome view of the San Diego Bay. I can see the aircraft carriers when they are in port. That also mean that I am on the west side of the building which is the side in which the sun sets. You might think - "ooh sunsets!" Yes there are some spectacular ones. But now with the stupid time change all I get is the sun in my eyeballs every afternoon. Right now I am squinting. One of my coworker walked by and laughed at me saying that if I kept scowling like that my face might stay that way. That launched me into a tirade about DST and the sun now being in my eyes! So I have a choice...

Do I close my blinds and miss the view? Do I continue leaning slightly forward at an awkward 45 degree angle every afternoon avoiding the sun and scowling? Someone might suggest that I open the blinds in the morning and then close them when the sun gets in my eyes later in the day. To you I say - that is way too much work for someone as lazy as me. Then as I was thinking about this I came up with a great idea...
Can you image walking past that every afternoon? I am going to try it and see how long it takes my coworkers to say anything. Maybe I'll start a trend. Hey if I can wear them in my car why can't I wear them in my office? I have a brother who used to wear his sunglasses at night, this is definitely not as bad as that.

Let the experiment begin!

Key words, "I am very lucky. I have an office that is on the 15th floor in a downtown building that has an awesome view of the San Diego Bay."

I have a view of the parking lot, and I ALSO get the sun.

I love my wife!

It sounds like the perfect solution. I don't see anything wrong with it...nothing at all. Just start playing some kind of "cool cats" song in the background.

Found your blog through The Bobby Pin.
I used to do this every morning at my old job! I was also too lazy to mess with the blinds. Some coworkers laughed, but I loved it. So I say go for it and save the effort & the crick in your neck/back from the awkward angle.
