BruceVC Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Tried to fry up some potatoes, took me 40 minutes. I'm a good cook, I have no idea why these wouldn't get done. Clearly you overrate yourself. Having fun with IT today. Server is POSTing with trouble, IT says that 'Well you need more RAM'. I am kind of left wondering what exactly the **** they expect us to do and what is their job They probably mean the if the Business Unit is complaining about speed and the issue is RAM then someone needs to pay for it so it should come from your budget ?

I agree, they need to explain the reason more RAM can't be purchased or who needs to pay for it "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Raithe Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Cursed mightily and verily for a long time.My computer is acting up a little, so I tried to perform a vital backup. Which failed due to I/O device errors and "cannot write this file".Started trying variations. My primary harddrive is now making assorted "tick-crack-crack-rraag-crack" noises.. Which is not so happy making. Further non-happy making is that my operating system came pre-installed, and that rather then giving me a disk with it on, they have all the install files in one of those nice "hidden drives" on the aforementioned primary drive. Now the last time I had a drive make that sort of noise, it went for about 4 days and DIIIEEEEDD in a most hideous and foul manner. So my optimism is fairly lacking. In fact, I'm feeling that the probabilities are quite high that my credit card and stash of emergency savings are going to be taking a hit this weekend...

Walsingham Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Tried to fry up some potatoes, took me 40 minutes. I'm a good cook, I have no idea why these wouldn't get done. Best method I know is to use just a little oil (4/5 vegetable to olive) and some salt and garlic, to coat the potato slices, stir in a high heat about three times, at two minute intervals, then turn the heat low and let them steam in a mix of their own water and the oil. About 25 minutes all told. You can drain off the excess oil at the end. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Raithe Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I'm pretty sure I've got most of the ACTUAL important stuff covered at the moment. It's the little things. Like, the 120 Gigs of music I have stored there - digging cd's out of storage and re-burning them will be freaking murderous. Since backup software keeps failing, i've resorted to manual cut and paste. Of course, that's being a pain because a right click takes about 40 seconds for anything to happen now.. and even then half the time it just causes folders to flicker, go into "not responding" then back again. And if I have a big chunk of files, it starts making hacking noises. So I'm having to do it all in small, small chunks at a time... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Tale Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Here's about how my day has gone so far. Work on getting the company anti-virus updated. Oh hey, the login credentials I was told were valid aren't. And none of the password reset options work either. No time to worry about that, need a business license in Reno. When do we need it? Why today! Good luck with that, buddy. What do you mean we can't find the registration information for Nevada Department of Taxation? Why is someone only asking me about that now? At least the business license reinstatement wasn't a problem. One of the workers in Louisiana needs me to buy him supplies. RIGHT NOW. Nobody has them, better find the closest thing then. Oh, and a generally liability auditor needs some more insurance information on a subcontractor. Did I mention my job description is BLOODY DATA ENTRY? At least it's not one of the days I have to call every distributor in the country looking for one item that my boss decided he absolutely had to have at the last minute. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
