Dammit I'm pissed off now. This is such fucking crap ... I hate this work computer ... I hate work right now .... ARGH! I'm like that commercial for the show Scrubs where Zack Braff's character (JD) gets SO mad his head explodes .... I'm 'bout to do that I think. This morning started so damn good too, well, when I wasn't near this fuck tard of a computer. I've restarted it twice already. It's working incredibly slow. I already defragmented. I did a disk cleanup. I deleted a shitload of files before doing both. I keep up pretty good maintenance wise with this thing.
It doesn't matter though if my ding bat boss refuses to take anything OFF the computer. They're important files so I can't just delete them. I've never used a Seagate before, so I don't know how to transfer them, so I am NOT taking responsibility for that because it would be just my luck that I'd crash the whole computer and the files would be totally lost. Besides, its HER computer in the first fricken' place.
To make matters worse she got here late today and then piled like 9 million things on me. I was working on the first one, actually getting excited about it because I did it so quickly and it was going so well. I went to do one last tweak and the comptuer told me 'OH NO FUCK YOU LADY I WANT TO PISS YOU OFF I'M GOING TO TAKE FOREVER, FREEZE UP AND SHUT DOWN SO YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK. FUCK YOU!'
Yeah, well, computer, guess what .... FUCK YOU BACK! If I could throw this thing without getting in trouble I SO totally would do it. Grrrr .... breath .... drink coffee ... breath some more .... refrain from stabbing boss in the eye with a pencil .... drink coffee .... drink more coffee ... get another cup of coffee .... down it and refill it immediately .... OK, MAYBE I'll have this under control. It's 10:35am, she leaves at 11:00am .... I leave at 12:30. FOOK!

Last time I went on a "taking things off" rampage on my work computer I ended up with no sound for like ....... weeks. Finally had to grab the IT guy by the ear and make him reinstall that program I thought was junk.Has your boss ever considered an external hard drive to park some of those shit programs and files onto? This way you'd free up the operating system when they're not being used. -

I think you and your computer need therpy Hege haha. -

Ugh...been there...Heggie...
I hope your boss will listen to a suggestion of getting an external hard drive, I got one for Christmas, and it helped a lot.
I remember a decade ago when I was working for my boss in the television. We had a rented villa for all other writers under his supervision. There is no clocking in and out in television. Most who work there are there for the passion of it.
In the 90´s the Philippines was suffering from lots of power failure, and there is no feature in the computer now, like in my LT that system will autmatically save your work.
I use to type scripts, and transcriptions etc in the dead of the night then suddenly power failure arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh gone all hard work! I mean I kept on saving each time I type a paragraph or a page...but when you are in a flow you forget, you know? One time even got a virus with a drawing of a devil on screen laughing at me eeeeeeeeeek...that was mega-horrific.
And oh one time, I was so tired of waiting for the power to get back again I strarted transcribing from tape and writing it down manually instead of typing it directly to the computer which was useless without power! LOL....I was so tired....my boss was not only working for several television companies but doing concerts (the script for concerts) on the side too....so I laid down on the table and forgot to blow the candle above my head.
One of the writers came home late from a taping from a tv station, and got the scare of her life as she saw me on the table in the dead dark of the night...lol....she thought I was a corpse! LOL
Most Filipinos believes in apparitions. [giggling]
Hope you will have a good afternoon to unwind at home.

CM - Lol, strange one you have there, but I haven't got much room to talk ... my cat loves eating various kinds of fruit, but not vegetables, weird. Who knows what Pluto might eat if he's willing to eat the lemon wedges!
Uni - Yeah, luckily I wasn't deleting any programs, I was just deleting files that I knew I had created and didn't need anymore. The Seagate that I mentioned is an external hard drive, my boss has one, she was supposed to back everything up a couple of weekends ago ... don't think she did. A lot of this stuff needs to come off. Either that or she needs to go with her original idea of buying a desk top computer to put the Adobe programs on and then just use the laptop for everything else. I wouldn't mind that at all!
Mobil - Heh, yeah, it'll take a lot of sessons though, lol.
Paper - I am feeling much better now that I'm away from the devil machine, lol. As I mentioned to Uni, my boss does have a Seagate (external hard drive), she just hasn't used it. I don't know how to transfer the files well enough to trust my own effort at doing it. SHE won't do it either though, and I'm not gonna be the one responsible for so many important lost files. The worst part is that my boss is such a ditz when it comes to computers generally that she doesn't understand when I'm telling her 'The program won't work, I get so far and it screws up and closes.' She was like 'Oh, well just send the file to my computer and you can work on it from there.' THERE IS NO FRICKEN' FILE, it wouldn't let me save! I ended up getting it done, although I don't think it's really DONE, I got a draft out at least.

tee he heee how well do I know that one... half way through a film project on premier pro it decided to just freeze like in a bad movie "FREEZE YOU MOTHER FUCKER" computer said.. sure why not!LOST THE LOT! well most of it, auto save helps but its still frustrating... -
Hegemone said on Feb 26, 2009....
Lucy, yeah I think I would have died if it would have been a more important and involved project. Luckily it was something that I could throw together quickly ... if the computer was going to cooperate ... but the timing of its completion is very important, so I think that's what added a lot to my being frazzled earlier. I need to check into this auto saving stuff though, don't know that I've come across that feature with those programs .... hmmm ... -
Lucytorial said on Feb 26, 2009....
not too sure you can, but if you can go check the settings... you may be able to auto save - hubby does but we have the very latest adobe photoshop... check it out, may help.....I've actually heard his brain go pop! when the damn thing freezes up... stupid bloody computers! -
Hegemone said on Feb 26, 2009....
Lucy, yup, gonna have to do that, I'm not sure how recent this version is ... I know it's CS3, but I can't remember if CS4 came out yet. I'll check into it though, could be a lifesaver, who knows. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I short circuited a few things in my brain earlier, lol. -

i'm so sorry but you relayed your frustration in such a humorous manner that it had me laughing!!! and zack braff....oh dreamy!!! what is FOOK????? -
Hegemone said on Feb 27, 2009....
Bewell - Lol, maybe.
Frag - Lol, don't worry, I was laughing at it too ... its something I do when I'm frustrated and need to calm down, I manifest it humorously so I can calm down. And Fook is a variation of Fuck, the kind you can say at work without getting in trouble, lol.
