"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, can't you save it to disc(s)?

I don't think we even supply those anymore.

I guess I could gmail stuff, but mostly I'm worried about all my music (which I lost on the last re-imaging). I don't really want to use my personal gmail space for work documents (and being in HR, there are confidentiality issues). There are a couple network drives dedicated to my ID so I can dump stuff over on the F: drive and hope that works.

Dang it. I hate that so much of IT these days is generic wipe/reimage/reload. I miss the days when serious geeks roamed the IT department.

I miss the days when serious geeks roamed the IT department.

They've been hunted out of existence. All the IT folks are farm raised these days.

Be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting IT geeks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's also yousendit.com, Hec.

Nod nod nod. I shouldn't be having people sidle up to me in the break room four years after I helped set up the system.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

mostly I'm worried about all my music (which I lost on the last re-imaging).

You can send yourself the music files (or like Dana said, use yousendit.com -- you could make a zipped file and send it that way) if you can't burn them to a CD.

I don't really want to use my personal gmail space for work documents (and being in HR, there are confidentiality issues). There are a couple network drives dedicated to my ID so I can dump stuff over on the F: drive and hope that works.

Oh, I didn't mean use your gmail account for work documents; sorry. Company documents are for the company server. I just meant use gmail for any personal files you want to make sure you don't lose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lordie. Search on 'krystal' to read responses to her column.

I think I'm searching in the wrong place, because I'm not finding any direct responses to her column.

t edit Got it. I didn't realize I had to search the "Letters to Romenesko."

Oh, sorry -- search for the text Krystal on the page.

Way more sympathy than I thought possible.

People can be so induglent.

People should stop.

If I only had a brain...

Yup. "She's young" is not an excuse for whining when she doesn't get something she wants. She thought Spin owed her an internship.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As someone said in our newsroom, "That sound you hear is 1,000 bridges burning."

Heh.
