Better IT for Better Living

So, my company's primary internal application software was upgraded this weekend, so that it would be more effective for our needs.

Naturally, what this means is that this morning, it barely works at all. All functions have slowed to a pace that makes Sigmund the Snail look like Speed Racer.

They just sent a bug fix, that required restarting the computer (a minimum 10 minute procedure in itself with all the shutdown and setup crap it goes through).

So far, I see no improvement. I entered my log on info before I started writing this entry. It's still thinking about it.

So much for getting anything done today.

And to make matters worse...

My next-cube neighbor's desk was covered with ants this morning. She got rid of most of them, but now the survivors keep wandering over to my desk. Some come in twos or threes, some bravely make the journey solo, but they all meet the same fate: squished by a piece of tissue.

Die Ants!

Dants.

Positive thinking

It's freezing in here. My nose is cold, my fingers are icy. I'm shivering.

But at least my Dr. Pepper is staying nicely chilled.
