    Default Anyone know how to kill an LCD?

    Long story short, our office's "administrative assistant" (also, "director's pet") decided to give some new hire dual monitors, and when the new monitor and the old monitor didn't aesthetically match, she had the tech take the shitty old one and replace one of our student workstation monitors with it, and take the nice one we had (coincidentally it was truly the only nice piece of technology we had). Honestly it beats the living fuck out of me why this new person needs dual monitors when she puts off a definite aura of knowing nothing about using a computer and hasn't done shit in just over a week of being here, training be damned. But I digress.

    As I mentioned, that monitor was the only nice piece of computing equipment we had. We are also paid minimum wage and are generally pissed upon by both our supervisors (which on average have less education than we do, as undergrads), but this kinda feels like a Milton moment: that monitor was the only one where I could actually use a readable TN3270 and another program at the same time, so enough is enough. Let us not forget that the Viewsonic we inherited has something the looks like horrible EMI which should be nice and miserable.

    Anyway, I want to kill it. Literally. But I can't leave a trace, and our workstations are more or less out in the open, so it's got to be discreet. So, ideas? Blunt trauma is obviously out of the question, as is any disassembling. Taping the air vents is one possibility, as is some sort of non-water short out, but I'd prefer not to start any fires or electrocute myself.

    Direct pressure to the LCD screen will cause the thin layers of glass in the monitor to crack, thus damaging the screen. You can probably damage most of the screen without leaving any noticeable physical damage.

    I think that LCD monitors are vulnerable to baseball bats. But that may be only during a full moon. And the bat must be made of solid gold. Preferably white gold.

    This is pretty clever. So clever, in fact, that anyone with a brain will immediately realize what's been done.

    Don't try this unless you want to get fired.

    Actually, OP, why don't you just act like an adult rather than pulling this passive aggressive bullshit?

    Exactly. Why don't you talk to your supervisor about it instead of crying on CD to a bunch of people who don't care.

    Maybe you should get a better job where you aren't treated like shit making minimum wage. Once you do that you can complain about something as trivial as your monitor.

    I don't suppose naysayers have noticed the job market recently, hiring freezes are abound.

    Oh and my supervisor already thinks I'm a prick so that's out of the question.

    Just because you can't find another job doesn't give you the right to be a douche.

    It's like a burger flipper at McDonalds trying to break the fryer because he was passed up in a promotion to work the drive through window.

    Sponge, so I'm curious if you've killed the monitor yet. I say do it!

    I say you empty your ass all over it. After this jizz on it. If this doesn't work to destroy the monitor, I bet your boss will at least then think you're fucked up enough to where he'll give you what you want so as not to get on your bad side.

    You're right, I haven't; I have a career. That's no excuse for acting like a child though.

    Furthermore, your logic is lacking as intentionally breaking company property could very well get you fired. hurr

    It's flawless logic, we all know the best thing to do when it's hard to find a job, is try to lose your current job in childish vandalization!

    Sponge, what is your degree in? I have a hard time believing that someone with an Associates, Bachelors or Masters degree would be working for minimum wage, hell, alot of positions in Wal-Mart and Target pay more than minimum wage, even if only by a dollar/hr.

    SPONGE, Don't listen to them. Your only option is to destroy the monitor to teach that bitch a lesson. DO IT.

    Fuck, I get paid $13.50/hr at US Cellular for a job that I taught myself to do, and that requires no prior experience nor a degree or certificate of any sort.

    Outside of factory/union/construction labor, making 13 bucks an hour with a high school education is excellent.

    Uh well I am a student hence no degree yet.
    Best advice as of yet has been that when I'm long gone after graduation my boss will still be there being mediocre, that made me chuckle inside.

    Anyway one of my boss' pets whined about it and the situation was miraculously solved.

    Should have just taken a power cord, stripped the insulation, switched the ground and power, and blown the shit out of the monitor by plugging it straight into the wall.

    You're still a moron.
