When I came to work this morning, the workstation I use had crashed. Again. It’s not like it crash once in a week or so, no, this baby crashes once a hour at worst. This ofcourse, was a known problem with the previous user too. He got a new one, and I got stuck with this crap. Well. I decided to complain. By all means, I’m doing a quite technicaly job here, and need a propper work-tool for the tasks I do every day. Think again. From worse to pure hell. Windows XP Pro. F*ck that. My boss decided that yeah, lets try install windows on it, see how it enjoys that. I don’t like it at all. I actually _hate_ the sloppy gui and the everblue desktop. Bah. YES, this is my rant, and rant I shall.

If you’re employed by someone to do a job, you do their bidding the 8 hours every day that you’re getting money from them to do that job, so I’ll be using Windows XP Pro if that’s what the Gods want around here now all of a sudden. Sure. BUT, what I will not do is to be stuck in this crap of a workstation with 256 MB RAM and not enough buffer space to write to disk while it reads from it. How can someone complain about such things? Well, I’m going to do one of two: 1) get another job and say goodbye. 2) change things from within. What I’m going to do I need to think over some, but, be warned. I don’t enjoy working in Windows one minute more than I have to, so, IF you happen to be a customer, and call in 17:00:00:01 (Yep, that’s seventen hundred hours, colon zero minutes, colon zero seconds, colon zero one tenth of a second, I’m not going to take your call until I get a better workstation that I can *work* with.

Got a job you might want me to look at? Give me a call.
