my whole world is askew
So yesterday after lunch I switched machines, just to the one across from me. First I had to bring my chair with me, because with the back thing I was dealing with yesterday, the presented chair was no fucking good. It leaned back really far, and if the monitor was on the ceiling I'd be well pleased, but as it is, no. So then I had to install all my other favorite programs. The one great thing about this machine, well, first off it's a faster processor but only 256MB of RAM, still probably better than the other one, but really my favorite part so far is that it allowed me to set Mozilla as my default browser. I'd asked people for months to let me do it on the other machine, so I guess it's just company policy to ignore such requests. It worked just fine when I did it, though. So.
The other nifty thing is that it has Acrobat 7.0, because I installed it. Well, the reader, not the other version. It does have the real thing but it's version 5.0 and for my needs, totally wrong. But it also has the newest versions of office, the 2003 editions, which are lots prettier and stranger. It's a little discombobulating, and due to this as well as other factors I feel like I'm not really required to do work anymore. On the other hand, since acquiring the net at home, I feel like surfing isn't any fun at work anymore. So it's a little bit callous and strange.
llarian picked up my futon yesterday, so that's the end of that tale. Reg refuses to buy a microwave till he has enough money to pay rent, which is sensible but unfair to all the microwave popcorn i have sitting around. I guess it will have to just stay at work.
