Lights! Action! or something like that

As it turns out, the problem I was having with the light in the office appears to have been, not the fixture, not the switch, not the wiring, but the bulb. But... that was the first thing I checked. At least I think it was. I distinctly remember throwing a bulb away. Possibly the fixture, which was heavily insulated, contributed to the second bulb's untimely demise. Perhaps they both came from a bad batch. More likely I threw the wrong one away.

I'm definitely getting a lot more light without the stupid fixture, though. Looks like heck, but I think I can fix that, and if I can't I can get another fixture that works better and takes 25W compact fluorescent bulbs.
