Some call it laziness, I call it efficiency

The chandelier in our dining room has eight bulbs.  My desire to have things orderly and correct makes me want to change a bulb as soon as it burns out.  But my engineering brain and my desire to be efficient makes me want to wait until more than one of the bulbs are burned out and then change them all at once.   The most recent time with this chandelier, I waited until, well, quite a few were burned out.  When it was noticeably dim in the room, even with the light on, I knew it was time to change them.  Here I am screwing in the last one.
