It isn't the unix system itself that I hate. It's that everyone else I deal with uses either mac or pc, and I have to use a special software suite to read Word docs and Excel files, and they never translate quite right, and when those special symbols make all the difference and I can't see them, well, that's a problem. Later this year they are switching us to PCs. It will be better because then I can work from home, but I expect it will come with its own set of problems. At least I'll be able to read a damn Word document without sacrificing a goat.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for Comicon reading paperdol!
(Yes, I'm at home. I went home "sick")

The problem with being bicomputeral is that your fingers get confused and go for the wrong bits at awkward moments.

I'm just enjoying the image of sarameg cuddling up to a big computer ...

see, this is why I don't want to get a mac at home.

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

In spite of this, I run OS X and Windows XP on my Mac at the same time. (And sometimes Linux.)

I'm doing a reading at Comicon. Whoot!
That's awesome! Man, I am so bummed about us not being able to go to Comicon this year. I'm missing everyone! Allyson, Neil Gaiman, Gerard Way ...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
shrift, Erik Estrada is going to be at DragonCon. I have a third contestant in my Cheese-Off Death Match, also starring Kevin Sorbo and Marc Singer.
And OH, I forgot to tell you that the other night on the Hallmark Channel, after a rerun of the Tim Daly Amish movie, there was a movie with Kevin Sorbo! And first he was a preacher, but then bad guys killed his wife and child, and then he became Badass Desperado Guy!
The ten minutes I saw of it were really bad.

I've never accidentally done anything too catastrophic, although I've often had a computer raise its eyebrow and ask what I thought I was expecting to accomplish by touching it there.

In the news of the ridiculous? This new os? Is windowlike. I rather hate it.
