What’s worse than fixing Microsoft’s mistakes?
Fixing apple’s. What’s worse than fixing Apple’s mistakes? Fixing that which they already know about. For the record, I never want to get that involved with anything Apple related again. And this from a guy who’s got a well documented hatred of Microsoft. But at least their software doesn’t break … Read the rest

Oh nos!

And yet, Microsoft’s status site says it’s all stable.
Now that’s a cover up for anyone who doesn’t happen to bother reading the local news. I probably shouldn’t be irritated about it–well, or using MSN messenger either for that matter, given my already stated opinion of Microsoft. But I do. So this morning I thought I’d jump online and … Read the rest

Is today the national day of malware or something?
Only explanation I can think of for the reason every call, except maybe 1 or 2, has been a badly messed up system in desperate need of a serious cleaning. If I really wanted to play dirty, I could probably break the single-person record for amount of times reinstalling Windows … Read the rest

Very rarely will I make 2 work related posts in one day. Not because I don’t like my job, but because I’m too lazy. But today–oh, today… there are 23 people currently waiting on hold. One of them, the one I’ll probably get to talk to when my break ends, … Read the rest

Baby, it’s cold outside.
Another Friday morning which feels more like a Tuesday morning. And another freakishly cold morning. Thank you wind chill for making -12 roughly translate to -19. And now you can go right to hell. And now they’re threatening me with snow. I thought I evicted you yesterday? I’ll say again, … Read the rest

This collective duh moment brought to you by morons inc.
Someone else is starting to clue into the whole common sense thing. Not really a new fad, folks. Pot may impair mental functions of MS patients. Gee, ya think? If the media says it, I suppose it must be true. So now can we embarrass the royal hell out of … Read the rest

Winter, we need to talk.
I’ve let this little conversation of ours go unhad for way too long, and it shows. Not only are we being hit with snow on average of every second day, but now you go and throw at us temperatures upwards of -18, *before* wind chill, on top of that? And … Read the rest
