LCD Goodness!

My new monitor is now installed.

It's all I'd hoped for, now I need a new video card...

Why Oh Why?

Do people say "I need to get my email set up on my computer"

when what they really mean is:

"I need to get administrator priveleges on this computer from my work IT Department so that I can install the PPPoE client software and then and only then do I need to set up my email on this computer. By the way, it's working on my desktop PC."

Speak of the devil...

Just got a message that my monitor has finally come in!

Will have to pick it up tomorrow, damn late shift...

Damn Delivery Gremlins...

.. still no monitor.

I'm getting very unimpressed with the supplier.

Another good Sims 2 Link....

The Sims 2 Inside has some great advanced building tips if you're as mad about The Sims 2 as I am.

The site creator, Mike, has made a Sim of Turanga Leela from Futurama, which is pretty cool.

Still addicted to Sims 2 University...

It's sad, I know.

I'll just have to accept that I have no life to speak of anymore.

I haven't actually played it for a while (i.e; today), but I have been lurking a lot on the modders' forums here.

Still waiting for my monitor.

Latest news is that it probably won't arrive until Tuesday after Easter, meaning I won't see it till at least Wednesday.

The computer shop have assured me that they "went off" at the supplier about it, I guess I'll have to wait though. Grrr!

EA Games owes me a life.

The Sims 2 University stole it from me.

I'm just glad I never started playing MMORPGs or I'd really have no life.

At least I still go to work...

Layout changes.

Expect a lot over the next few days until I settle on something permanent.

It's all being tinkered with for now...

Don't abuse the Help Desk...

...It could be me on the other end.

Although I honestly want to help most of my customers, there are days when I wish I was this guy.

Please be nice to your ISP tech support, they're more likely to help you that way.

Does it really matter if you can't get to your porn site for a couple of hours?

Patience = None.

I hate waiting.

I've been waiting almost 2 weeks now for my new LCD monitor to arrive.

Next time, I'm asking "Does your supplier have it in stock?" before I say "I'll have one, thanks!"

Latest news is "it will definitely be in by Thursday".

Great, I'm working till 8 PM and they close at 5:30.

So, no new monitor before Easter, dammit!
