Tips: (1) Wear reading glasses to work. Whenever someone with "purchasing authority" walks by, squint and ask them to read a line off your monitor to you. (2) Anonymously email messages to HR with subjects like "Eyestrain: The Fastest Growing Workman's Comp Claim!" (3) Loosen your monitor cable. Make sure you can reach it with your foot (or with a desktop system, use transparent fishing line wrapped around the cable as a pull-cord). Whenever your boss comes by, nudge it so it flickers off and on. (4) (This really WORKED for me in a small company). After you are turned down on a requisition for a new monitor, start the reading glasses routine. Sneak your own monitor from home in, and give your boss "wounded puppy" looks whenever he walks by.(NOT recommended for suit-and-tie organizations - or *really* tight ones, either; they might ask you to bring in your whole system so they can give your current one to an intern).
