WWotD - 3 January 2012

Today my floor lamp decided to go all crazypants on me, and would only go one-way instead of three-way (that's what he said). I appreciate quality mood lighting as much as the next person, especially for pretending I'm in a speakeasy drinkin' some hooch and talking like Dorothy Parker. Nevertheless, most of the time it's good to see furniture instead of bumping into it.

Anyhoo, so I tried changing the bulb and still had the same problem. Double d'oh!  It was looking like it was time for a new floor lamp. *sigh*

And then I tried changing to a third bulb, and it worked. Yippie doo!

I'm not sure whether this is some kind of metaphor for life and not giving up on simple solutions, or a commentary on crappy quality of three-way lightbulbs. You be the judge.
