I have no idea who to send this to -- it is a pretty serious bug having to
do with Athena, though!
The problem:
The quickstation cluster in building 11.
What is the problem?:
This is the most ergonomically moronic environment I have ever
seen. The counter is incredibly low. I am only 5'11" but still it is nearly
impossible to read the screen, since I have to look down about 2 feet to
see it. There isn't enough depth to the counter to push the monitor back &
tilt it up, not that it would tilt anyway. The keyboard is about a foot too
low if not more. I've been here 10 minutes and already my neck & wrists are
unhappy. What the hell were you thinking?! If this is Facilities' fault,
someone's head should roll.
love,
ed
