A Question
Most assistants on my floor have two monitors on their desk. This provides enough screen space to have email and messaging programs always up as well as rotating spreadsheets, text documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc as needed.
The recently hired senior administrative assistant (she supports half the management team) had a third monitor added to her setup shortly after arrival. I pass her desk multiple times per day on my way to get water and she has always had the right-most monitor displaying a picture of an infant I assume is her child. I'm sure the bank purchases monitors by the thousands and we made $1.5 billion in profit last quarter, so if she wants a $500 electronic picture frame it's no big deal.
I only mention this for two reasons:
1) In the last week or so she's started using both the middle and right monitor to display pictures of the child. She changes the picture at least a couple of times per day.
2) The child is unattractive. I'm no baby snob who only sees virtue in his own offspring. Almost all babies are cute; many are adorable. This is really not a pretty child.
Anyway...my question is this: At what point do you think she will begin using a pen and paper for all her work so she can devote a full 51" of screen space to baby pictures?

Is the baby's father Jorge? Ok then, why do you care? Or is it that you now also have a mild case of third monitor envy...
hmmm, good question about the father. i'll have to investigate that.
no monitor envy at all. my three are sufficient since i display pictures of my children elsewhere.
Not to throw this up in your face or anything, but three monitors would not be enough for all your offspring anyway...oh prolific one.
Daniel, is Denise pregnant again???? How exciting that you two are going to have another baby... Congratulations.
