Question: Do you turn it off and on in rapid succession? I ask because the turning on phase is what effects the life span of CFLs the most. Boycott all you want, by 2012, You (Mr. Bubbles), Skip, Rendo and I, as Canadians will have only CFL and LED lights to chose from.
EDIT: Also, try to not touch the glass part with your fingers. Either use a cloth between your hand and the bulb, or only touch the balast (plastic part), since the oils you deposit on the glass will effect the vibrations in the bulb which can lead to premature wear. Also don't use a dimmer, unless the bulbs are specifically for dimmer switches.
