At least they're being up front about it (NY Times site; free registration required).

computer related angst
Feb. 19th, 2002 12:49 pmIt's amazing what hell you can go through just moving 5 feet to the left...
I just moved from one side of my office to the other - benefits being more privacy, and I no longer have my back to the door.
I am stunned I did not electrocute myself setting my computer back up. It took an hour just to get the speakers working again (essential because I have to listen to something while doing repetitive tasks). Every time I've moved machines I think to myself "there must be an easier way" while trying to untangle all the 1 billion cords, plugs, etc.
So now my knees are raw and my head has been banged a few times from crawling under the desk.. joy. But at least its over for the next few months (we are supposed to move to a new building in the spring. Being government, this probably translates as "spring of next year").

Hit nail on (nearly) the head
Feb. 19th, 2002 09:04 pmRemember my tales about the tacky townhouse across the way? I predicted that they would replace the cupids and hearts with green gnomes for St. Paddys.
Well... no green gnomes, though they do have cutouts of happy leprechauns on their door. And green metallic shamrocks in the windows. And green shamrocks on sticks in the yard...
I'm predicting a flurry of baby pink, sky blue, and pastel yellow for Easter with occasional showers of that green plastic fake grass and happy bunny cutouts in the windows.
