What’s worse than spending your weekend alone at work? Answer: freezing to death while doing it. The A/C in my part of the building is totally whack. I’m freezing worse than normal. I finally found the closest thermostat to my cube. See blurry cell phone photo as evidence: Its set at about 70 degrees, but [...]

Isn’t it lovely? I’ve been at work since 10am this morning. I borrowed another flat-screen monitor from an unused cube until someone needs it. I figured I was owed that much for spending my weekend here alone. I’m working on this never-ending project that has to come to a certain point of finishing ASAP. For [...]

While it kind of sucked that someone had to come in by 6am this morning to post the National Data Release information at work, I’m a tiny bit glad I volunteered (I live the closest of anyone) so I could see this fabulous information as soon as possible this morning: from USA Today: Harry Connick, [...]

I’m currently on hold with a web hosting company in Australia… you are next to be answered the female voice tells me over and over. And I got answered… why does “answered” seem like the incorrect use of a verb to me? Is it being used as a verb? Oh my English SUCKS. *chuckle* Of [...]

Oh wait, that’s not until next month. Oscar post still forthcoming.

I know you want all the geeky details, so here [...]

… in the “When will Wendy get her new computer at work?” pool, then you’re looking at collecting, well, nothing but bragging rights that you could forsee that I would spend 2+ weeks coping with not having my own computer at work. Back on the 19th of January I got a temp machine. Yeah, I’m [...]

This morning I got a phone call from IT telling me that my wireless connection was causing someone’s computer in another building to not be able to boot (excuse me, what? Somehow I just don’t buy that) and that I was violating company policy, so that it had to go. I knew I could move [...]

#3 : I now have email access to my work account. #2 : My new machine was ordered this morning sometime before 11:30am. and my favorite… #1 : Even though I have not yet seen the final specs on my new system, the tech support dude (his name is dave and he is totally an [...]

Note: This entry will be 67% more entertaining if you’ve read the first part. When we last left our hero, she was waiting for the prognosis on her computer… *fade up from black* After not hearing anything for several more hours into the afternoon, I called Tech Support and asked for an update. I was [...]
