Technology hates me... and I hate it!

piploverMy company has switched over to Ubunto, and I have to say, I'm not impressed. It took me an hour yesterday to get everything set up and working, and even then I stil had troubles. Files weren't loading, pages weren't coming up, and when they were, they were freezing or incomplete. Urgh.
All this to "save money." Which I laugh at, because I can already tell that this will probably cost them more in lost hours than in just paying for the license for Microsft.
Not much else going on. Mostly just working, going home to crash, and then back to work. I am so happy I have Memorial Day off, even if I'm only being paid for 8 hours when I work a 10 hour day.
It's been kind of chilly the last few days, and rainy. Perfect weather for sitting at home with a good book and cup of tea. Hmmmm. Tea.
Also, I've found I've become addicted to hidden object gams. Like, seriously, I love those stupid things. I will lose an entire day playing the thing. The plots are usually weak and the graphics not that great, but try and pull me away before I finish the quest. I've limited myself to buying only one per week... or maybe two if I get a free one with my punch card. *grin*
Also, Plants VS Zombies. Most addictive game ever!
I totally need a geek icon. How do I not have one yet?

Date: 2012-05-23 03:45 am (UTC)Have FUN on Memorial Day. (And think of those of us who have to WORK that day!) This has been a work day for Marilyn and me for most of our lives -- and now it's an event day (for the fourth year in a row). I'll be outside running a March (officially our fourth festival parade, now). It's hard work, but I do love it!
I played Plants vs. Zombies for awhile, but I was pretty bad at it, so I took it off my iPad... But those crazy little zombies and those heroic plants were a kick!
(hugs)
