Unemployment, Day 2

Evil


On my second day of unemployment, I finally got around to replacing my incandescent light bulbs with the new compact fluorescent ones. Hopefully, this will result in better eco-karma for me. One thing I didn't know about compact fluorescent bulbs before today: they come in some unmanagable sizes! Basically, the bulbs get bigger as the wattage goes up. Something that's the equivalent of a 100W light bulb is gigantic! It's like 9 inches long. Something this big doesn't fit everywhere that it needs to. So my apartment now isn't 100% converted to compact fluorescent, but I've done it everywhere I could.
