Here in cubeville at the State of Michigan, everyone has mirrors mounted on their PC monitors. It is not that we are all vain, it is so that we can see each other.

It is kind of like being in prison I guess. But instead of holding our mirrors out of the doorways to our offices, we just mount them on our PCs.

In order to cut down on glare on our monitors, we move our monitors away from the doorways to our offices. And in doing so, when ever we work on our PCs, our backs are to the door. And, with our backs to the door, we can’t see people standing in our doorway.

So to resolve this problem, we all have mirrors mounted on the monitors of our PC. Thus, when anyone approaches the doorways to our offices, we can see them in the mirror. And, it is not that we are all that socially oriented, it just cuts down on people startling us as we type.

Of course, this isn’t fool proof. You still have to check your mirror regularly. 😉
