Every few weeks somebody links to The Onion for something...

...so I thought it's my turn to bring everybody back to the satirical timesink.

job start , job end

(having one of "those" days, I guess )

That Job End link is hilarious!  I love how it's aggressive-yet-not...

Monday for me has been:

• Being first one in the office (ugh) and...
• finding the coffee maker unplugged (it takes 45 minutes for the reservoir to get up to temp from a cold start).
• finding the circuit that both fridges are on popped a breaker
• cleaning out said fridges
• finding the building guy to unlock the telephone room so I could flip the one breaker not in our office space breaker box
• finding out that someone pinched my mouse while I was away
• Having to sit here all day thinking about how awesome Bioshock is and how much I want to go home and play some more of it...
• Reiterating how awesome Portal was to someone who can't possibly run it...
• Something else horrible I can't say just yet...

That's a dig at me.  That's sorta mean   Especially since my old crate does match the minimum specs: 1.7 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, DirectX 8 compatible video card, Windows 2000/XP/Vista.  My XP3000+ is a 2+ GHz processor.  I've got a 1024 MB of RAM.  My Radeon 9800 is a DirectX 9 compatible video card.  I've got Windows XP.

I know you can run it, Mike R can't though. Not in a billion years.
