venting

[fgnord]

I think I am going to chop my work computer up with a hatchet. Then I am going to take the little pieces of computer kibble, disolve them in some concentrated HCl, chant some death curses over the chemical stew that remains, freeze it in liquid nitrogen, and drop the ice off a cliff onto some detonating high explosives. Maybe I'll think of a couple

Or you could do the classic way like in the Office Space movie. Take it out back and beat it with a sledgehammer.

< laughs > Wow. You really paint a picture, Ford. :)

Sorry about all the computer troubles you seem to be having. Perhaps I shall have to make a sacrifice to the computer gods to appease them. Perhaps you have not made the necessary ritualistic sacrifices?

Popular sacrifices include sleep, clarity of thought, and social interactions. The computer gods smile on those who are without either of these things. :) Oh, and they love it when you drink to near-your-body-weight in coffee. Considering that icing on the cake for them.

I always thought barnyard animals were the way to go, but I already explained to the computer that I have no goat. The sacrifices you recommend will probably occur as side effects, except for the coffee. I'm more of a Dew kind of person :)

Problems solved as of today, btw. Every now and then I just get really pissed at highly literal systems that "do what I say" instead of "what I mean", and have to vent.

Dont tell Fox if it comes up asking for Halo 3.

Hehe, I like your choice of sacrificial items. Seems I've been sacrificing all of them with the new job lately, while trying to compensate for those losses with a sharp spike in coffee intake.
