So here's my stupid help desk call of the day:
Apparently a director from one of our outlying sites is coming in to our corporate office on Monday. I got a call from the Administrative Assistant there asking if IT had a loaner laptop we could setup for the director to use while he was on-site. I asked her "Doesn't he have a laptop of his own?"
Her: "He does, but he doesn't like to carry it."
WTF?!?!?
::huffs ground coffee::
The NPR at the Movies podcast I last listened to had a think on the LotR musical which was really annoying. And they used the movie music, despite the piece not being at all about the flicks.
Apparently I was grumpy then too.

You should have asked, "So... does he need a laptop for each place he's going to sit?"

It took everything I had not to ask if he was deficient and just politely tell her "I'll find out if we have anything."
Kalshane, that sounds like it came straight from the Computerworld Shark Tank.
I finally won the battle I was fighting with my system half of yesterday and all of today so I am leaving the office quickly before another challenge presents itself.
I declare it a weekend!
Daisy Jane - if you're around drop me a note to my profile addy. I'll put my phone # in there too. Tks.
If you go here [link] you can see a countdown for the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket. Since this is the first launch of a new, inexpensive launch system, I figure there's a good chance for spectacular failure.
There is also a link to a video webcast, so you can watch any pretty explosions live.
Curerntly there's 30 minutes to launch.
Got the same results as Dawn - the scorlling was soooo slooooooow. Frustrating.
Stop with the bad ju ju, tommy.
