It's 6:30. My feet are up. Everyone's gone home. My office is empty.
I spent the entire day wrestling with a new payrolling system... sometimes literally. The payroll company sent us a PC, a Monitor, and TWO printers... I thought they were sending us a single check printer. Crazy.
The PC had a user account that was "managed," and they didn't give us the password. Lucky me, I guessed that they were silly enough to leave it as the login name. It was. We changed that right away.
I REALLY don't like having computers on my network over which I don't have admin access... but, thanks to bad security and piss-poor IT policy, they left the default windows Admin account password blank. I changed all the passwords, including their little Techie password account, and felt a little better about having that pile o' XP crap chit-chatting with my OS X Server.
Anyway.
I'm going to go home in a minute. But I have to say... I feel fried. Not upset, nor disturbed, just kind of drained of color. Cardboard-ish.
Would all of you like to have lunch on Friday?
Love to all. Even you, the young artist who couldn't stifle her strange and arrogant chuckle.

Lunch would rock.
Congrats on the take-over of the XP.It's the little victories sometimes.
Lunch, yep, I'll be there! But if you pay my transportation to NYC! ;) :P
Maybe your kids/family and a bit of sleep will be able to give you back your colours! ;)
Take care!

I found you through "This Journey". I would love to have lunch. Perhaps some bulgogi and kimchi? I love Korean food. My mom makes the best. Love the blog by the way. Yes, even you.
i wish i knew more about Macs so i could dog on them but i don't. one bad experience having to remotely help my roommate in college and i was turned off. still, i LOVE the Mac vs PC commercials... brilliant
Lunch - I'm there... if only I could hop on a flight to NYC. Dang it!
Well I hope you start feeling more 3 dimensional soon.
Cardboardish - I love that description and knew immediately what you meant.
p.s. I should have my blog up and running soon - the heavens have been testing my quest to be thankful.
Rich, you are one person I would truly LOVE to have lunch with.
Just once - would be totally worth the air fare.
It's settled then. My office, 1pm, tomorrow. I'm a block from Grand Central, so there's LOTS to choose from.
Rock ON.
Well, that is a neighborhood with a lot of options. As a Mac head and professional tech reviewer, I can do little more than cringe when seeing my wife deal with her Windows network.
Thankfully, my twin five year olds are learning to use their iMac, so future generations will be spared.:)
Should I master the ability to time travel any time soon, I'm going to be at this lunch.
Quality. Cardboardish surely describes how most of us feel at some point during every week? Cracking word, though. Lunch? Suppose I've missed it... so another dinner in Crewe!
