Oh man.
Some of you may recall from January 2006 when I was embarrassed to realize, after 11 months at the company, that I wasn't taking the most convenient stairway in my office building.
It's been longer than 11 months since I moved into my basement suite. For all this time, one of my ceiling lights, when turned on, has gone off and on depending on the impact to the floor above (usually caused by young boys running around). Changing the bulb makes no difference. As a result, I learned not to count on that light. Not a big problem, since I don't feel a need for much light at home.
Only yesterday evening did I think to tap the circular frame around the bulb. As long as I press enough, it will come back on and stay on until the next thud.
Why do these ideas take so long to come to me? I don't dare take another IQ test....
