In my next job, I will work somewhere with an actual IT/Tech support department. The past few days a bunch of our computers have been playing merry havoc ( Read more... )

And a round of applause for the Brits, please, and a swift kick in the ass for my fellow Americans for not expressing the same opinions ( Read more... )
