Ooh, maybe I will. Either that or go back to the old box!
I should give it a couple of days, to make sure I know what things are bad, and which are just new, though.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It just. It reeks. Ugh.
And it's open-plan. We've got our computers angled and all, but dinking around on the internet while at work is going to take a sharp nosedive.
Ugh. Poor shrift.

Thanks, all! (And congrats to Miracleman!)
You all may be looking over clothing items, I'm currently drooling over Alienware desktop computers. Between my Visual Studio programming and my Visual Media 3D classes, I could actually justify a high-end system with actual bells and whistles. Also, I could use it for an upstairs DVR/TV. And it would light up....

oh, shrift, that sucks.
The one job I interviewed for and then said in my thank you note "Um, don't bother considering me", one of the (many) issues was when I saw the office, they had those cubes that only have token walls, and are like, waist high. I was all "Hell no". Cubes are bad enough. Faux cubes are tools of the devil.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Time-Warner just changed their DVR software to something new. They're also threatening to upgrade all of their old DVR boxes to this new software.
Does this explain why I've been having so much trouble with the old software? I have to soft or hard reset an average of once a day.

You know Dell bought them. If you want a high-end system with actual tech support, we've been pretty happy with our machine from Falcon Northwest.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
shrift, you need one of those security glare screens that only allows people to look at your monitor when they're standing directly behind you.
IT SMELLS LIKE DEAD POOPY THINGS DOWN HERE.
This could come in handy when you have to hide the dead bodies.
"What's that horrible smell?"
"It always smells like that."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Annoying coworker has crossed the line. We just recieved a package and there was confusion over where it was to go. I brought it back to my office, opened it and took it where it belonged. On my way back here, I overhear from is office, "So Daisy finally got off her ass..." to the trainee we have here from Houston.
Think you're hot shit asshole? We'll see when boss lady gets back.
Seriously, he's been insufferable for about 2 weeks now.

Bought by Dell, huh? One reason that I'm actually intrigued enough by them is that they will set up the computer with acoustic dampening (aka inside padding) and liquid cooling, which means I won't have to listen to a small but annoying fan whining whining whining, which honestly in a cubeland environment isn't so bad (white noise kind of drowns out all the voices) but in a nice quiet house puts my teeth on edge.
Of course, this all costs....
