I hate color management

My pics look great on my laptop LCD, but at work, they kinda suck, or have a color shift of sorts. Asking one of my friends, Maung who is a lao-chiao at DSLRs, he immediately caught my problem - the possibility that my monitor is not calibrated right. Most of my pics he says are underexposed. But they looked fine on my lappy :( So I got the Spyder2 to properly setup the gamma and color temp. And lo and behold. Indeed, LOTS of my pics are like .5 to 1 stop underexposed :(

I've got a few hundred pics online, i'm not sure I'm in the mood to re-process all at this time :( Not to mention the captions. ARGH!
