they installed new overhead lights at work and they're so much BRIGHTER and BLUER and I'm in HELL
#I have a little warm-bulbed desk lamp which balanced out the old fluorescents#but man these are so bright my desk lamp doesn't do anything#it makes the stark beige of the cubicle even uglier

Unexpected brain hack: putting warmer lighting in my kitchen has made me actually want to be in it and also clean it up.
#there's a fluorescent efficiency bulb over the sink#and I *hate* it#blue light is gross and sterile and makes me think of hospitals and public bathrooms#so I hung a couple sets of string lights and I'm gonna get a replacement bulb for over the sink#and it was like oh wow I can see and also I want this to look nice under these pretty lights

i cannot win. between the early morning brain fog and the mid-afternoon slump i literally only feel lucid for barely half of my normal work day
#i think i still have residual ''is not truly awake before 10am'' from just. being a teenager#which is great when i have to be awake in an office lit only by fluorescent bulbs in front of a computer writing sns posts#oh well getting my phone back from the shop over lunch so there's that#someone hit me over the head at 9pm tonight so i actually sleep properly for tomorrow#phone saga#me#text#doxxing my cat

The ameraucana surprised me with an egg yesterday! She was so happy about it too, we could hear her singing all the way in the house 😂😂
#she speaks#my chickens#the colors are actually richer but we have a fluorescent bulb in the kitchen#so it washes everything out#the blue eggs are BLUE in the sunlight like a gorgeous turquoise color#I’m gonna miss her eggs when she really does stop laying#gonna have to get more ameraucanas

saw a vaguely positive recommendation of Some Desperate Glory by emily tesh from a couple of lesbians best known to me for objectifying fictional men on twitter so i went out and bought it (because i am not financially responsible and i trust the taste of these lesbians) and then i read the entire thing in two days and frankly i think i might not be able to carry on living after this. it was. well it was really good. like it was just. well. it was really good.
#like do you ever read a book and immediately go . i NEED to get high with an english major and a bisexual bioethicist RIGHT now#so we can have a DISCUSSION . about this book.#it's like. okay when i read catch 22 i NEEDED to lie on the floor of a high school hallway and stare into the fluorescent bulbs afterwards#(didn't get to. but it was what i NEEDED.)#when i finished little brother i needed to go wander around the basement of a home hardware.#and when i finished regeneration i needed to sit quietly and hold it in my hands like it was an EXTREMELY fragile bit of lead crystal#and when i finished enders game i needed to like. go write a novel that i had yet to conceptualize. again i didnt do this. but i needed to.#when i finished a marvellous light i needed to hug my kitty cat gently!#and now having finished this i need to smoke a fat blunt with an english major and a bioethicist.#to be clear i know those examples don't make sense and are a frankly hilarious bunch of books to have chosen.#but . Well. They were the ones i thought of.#it's just like!!!!! okay!!! so a computer cannot be held accountable and must therefore never make a management decision!!!!!!#so what does a computer that is smart enough to KNOW THAT#do when it is presented with a management decision???? HUH?#WHAT DOES IT DO???????????#there's so much good SHIT in that book! there's so much!!#it's like that. You get it.#like it's a book about omnipotent AI but the AI is neither a hero nor a villain. it's not a character at all.#even when it IS personified that personification is done with a lot of complexity#and a REALLY gorgeous distinction between literal personification -- creating a person to serve as an interface --#and the assignment of a person to serve as an agent --#and even that latter category isn't treated simply. because of course an AI cannot assign a person to serve its will.#because it doesn't have a will.#OR DOES IT. etc. this question we will of course debate eternally. this is how they get you. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.#AND THE AI STUFF LITERALLY ISN'T EVEN THE CENTRAL QUESTION OF THE PLOT!!!!!!!!#like it IS a book about AI but it's. actually not really.#the question is not 'does AI exist' or 'is AI right or wrong'#but rather 'what do the possibilities presented by AI force us to confront about the nature of ourselves and our desires?'#and the plot isn't about the AI. it's about that nature of ourselves.#it's about cults! it's about misogyny! it's about rape culture! it's about eugenics! it's about the creeping realization

*Sees one of three light bulbs on the bathroom ceiling light go out the day after I fell off a ladder while fighting with the fluorescent tube light fixture on the kitchen ceiling* “Y’all… no. We’re not doing this tonight.”
#delete later#pardonmyinsanity#yeah I fell backward off a ladder and landed in my kitchen sink yesterday fighting with the kitchen light fixture#not a fun or proud moment (nor was battling the chronic vertigo while up on the ladder fighting with the lights)#I’m still cooking with a flashlight…#maintenance told me they wouldn’t come unless I tried replacing the tubes first -or they’d charge me a big fee for not troubleshooting 🙃#idk how FOUR fluorescent light tubes suddenly stop working all at once overnight#and none of my breakers were tripped (and I tried turning circuit breakers on and off too)#so guess who spent 50 bucks at Lowe’s on new light bulbs and still doesn’t have a working ceiling light?#because I *knew* it was the ballast in the light fixture -but you gotta love college town rental management companies

#United against flashing#please tag flashing posts so they can be blacklisted#don’t mind me I just flung my scroll past a horrible flashing gif but this hellsite was loading right below it so I ended up#throwing my phone across the couch#no flashy flashy#one time I was at a store that had a fluorescent bulb failing in the worst flickering way and within the next 30 min I got KO’d by the worst#migraine in YEARS (which was super fun bc I was over an hour away from home AND out of my purse meds)#bless the gas station worker who saw me check out with excedrine and a Gatorade and asked me if I was ok

The Role of Businesses in Fluorescent Bulb Disposal
Fluorescent Bulbs are an essential part of modern lighting, known for their energy efficiency and long lifespan. However, their disposal poses a significant challenge due to the hazardous materials they contain. In Dubai, where sustainability and environmental protection are increasingly prioritized, proper disposal of fluorescent bulbs is crucial. Madenat Recycling, a leading recycling company for Fluorescent Bulb Disposal in Dubai, offers comprehensive solutions for safe and eco-friendly disposal.
Understanding the Environmental Impact
Fluorescent Bulbs are widely used in commercial settings due to their efficiency and long lifespan. However, their disposal requires careful consideration. When fluorescent bulbs break, they release mercury vapor into the environment, contaminating air, water, and soil. Mercury exposure can lead to severe health issues, including respiratory and neurological damage. For businesses, improper disposal can result in legal penalties and damage to their reputation.
Legal and Regulatory Framework
The government has established regulations to ensure the safe Fluorescent Bulb Disposal in Dubai. In many regions, businesses are legally required to follow specific guidelines for handling and disposing of these bulbs. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set stringent regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Compliance with these regulations is not only a legal obligation but also a demonstration of a business’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
Business Practices for Proper Disposal
Employee Training and Awareness: One of the first steps businesses can take is to educate employees about the importance of proper Fluorescent Bulb Disposal in Dubai. Regular training sessions can help ensure that everyone understands the potential risks and the procedures to follow.
Safe Storage and Handling: Before disposal, fluorescent bulbs should be stored in a secure, designated area to prevent breakage. Using appropriate containers designed for hazardous materials can minimize the risk of mercury release.
Recycling Programs: Many businesses have partnered with Madenat as we specialize in handling fluorescent bulbs. We ensure that bulbs are recycled safely, recovering valuable materials and preventing environmental contamination. Contact us for such partnership.
Waste Management Policies: Implementing a comprehensive waste management policy that includes specific guidelines for Fluorescent Bulb Disposal in Dubai is crucial. This policy should outline the steps for collection, storage, and recycling, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Green Certification and Sustainability Goals: Achieving green certification can enhance a business’s reputation and demonstrate its commitment to sustainability. Proper fluorescent bulb disposal is often a requirement for such certifications. Setting clear sustainability goals, including safe disposal practices, can further reinforce a business’s dedication to environmental responsibility.
The Broader Impact
By taking a proactive approach to fluorescent bulb disposal, businesses can significantly contribute to environmental protection and public health. Proper disposal prevents mercury pollution, conserves natural resources through recycling, and reduces the burden on landfills. Moreover, businesses that prioritize sustainable practices can inspire others to follow suit, creating a ripple effect that benefits the wider community.
Conclusion
The role of businesses in Fluorescent Bulb Disposal in Dubai is vital for maintaining a healthy environment and protecting public health. Through education, proper handling, and recycling initiatives, businesses can ensure that their disposal practices are safe and compliant with regulations. As stewards of sustainability, businesses have the opportunity to lead by example, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and contributing to a greener future.

Hmm that is an interesting kitchen placement. The lighting seems a bit lacking
Bracewell Street, Millchester (Charters Towers), Queensland.
#though it possible that fluorescent bulb is blinding level bright#but it just seems like the type that’s dim and hums and makes weird shadows#kitchen
