Technology Bites
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate computers? 
I just hate how computers decide to act up for no reason at all, and how they continue to act up despite restarting. BTW thanks to the wonders of my technology team my computer takes at least 20 minutes to shut down and reboot. So everytime I have to restart my computer I waste at least 20 minutes twiddling my thumbs while staring at the screen.
So today, the computer suddenly went crazy on me. Outlook didn't work, IE didn't work and neither did Lotus Apps. So I restarted the computer but it still refused to work. I was forced to call the help desk, and all the guy told me to do was to restart my computer. So even though I had already restarted it, I had to reboot again and wait another 10 minutes.
BUT the thing is, the 2nd time around it was back to normal. Gawd, I just hate how it never works when I try it, and then when the help desk gets involved all they tell me to do is stuff I've already done and then the damn thing will decide to work. Making me look like a damn fool.
GRrrrrrRRrrrr.
Next time I will just restart twice.
On another note, I've finally upgraded my phone. Woohoo. Free some more... And I was forced to upgrade my SIM card so now I have space for 250 messages (as opposed to FIVE on the old card). Heh heh.
