"My entire company finally got some..."

..new Dell computer's!! They were delivered yesterday and they're all still on crates, wrapped in spanky plastic in the conference room. So today, the big boss gave me the go to be the first to crack open the plastic and take my pick of systems. I'm thinking because I'm the loser who had to work this weekend. Perks..

But like, oh.my.GAWD!!! I'm in technology heaven..especially with our whippy server being so cooperative today! This computer with the flat screen monitor is just so sleek and sexy and it's so totally orgasmic to play with, compared to that Commodore (I think that's what it was?) non-Y2K compliant sorry excuse for office equipment in my lifetime..that was still running on Window's 95!! I know..shocking, huh? I didn't think pc's even existed running off of anything less than Windows 2000 and that version was just so full of buggage.

I guess I just wanted to release some of the vibe from this elation of finally getting an office computer that not only performs, but looks as sexy as I do. Yii! I'm kidding, but not really. Gosh..this computer is such a turn on! It just seems like life is a little brighter today because of my new computer. I'm such a geek..

And, what does your hardware do for you? :) I'm going to love coming to work now..

It's really interesting to work for these new investors who have taken controlling interest of the company I work for, just recently. They're like the yuppies of yesteryear who have this stashed nest-egg for retirement and splurg on elaborate executive perks, such as a commercial-size gourmet coffee grinder and brew machine for the breakroom and such..

I was just psyched that I got a spankin' new leather chair when I started here last year, but I'm thinking I might get a company vacation if I stick around long enough, in say..Bermuda..Jamaica...OOohhh, I wanna take ya..

That's all.

Oh..sorry. We'll go back to talking about bunny rabbits and hamsters.

God forbid there's a thread that actually talks about someone having a satisfying career fresh out of Uni. Hm..and, the discussion of technological integration, supplementing the progression of small business in a modern society is always in interesting topic! Right? But, that's just my opinion again.. You don't have to comment..but, I have this gurgling within that you'll just feel so compelled.

I'm thinking the commercial-size coffee grinder in the breakroom was a bit elaborate..for a small business operation that isn't even traded. I mean, we could have just brought in a plain ol' coffee grinder and coffee maker machine. We could have just gone to the market and bought a can of coffee..

Why the need for commercial-size..? I wonder if that's one of those "short man drives a Humvee" kind of thingy things... No, we couldn't do with just whimpy Mr. Coffee, we had to get our brawny morning fix loaded-up with a freshly ground, perfectly calculated caffiene syrum from the thousand dollar brewery contraption that takes up all the counter space in our tiny breakroom.

I'm thinking it's these yuppy investors' passive hands-free effort in firing up the force. In that case, why not invest in a little liquid feel-good zest. The thing is, not everyone drinks coffee..and I just end up bouncing off the walls.

Right. Anyone else have a job?

And this is in Intelligent Discussion because...?

Such excitement, it sounds like you're going to love coming at work as well :P

My Uni has the oldest things I've ever seen. Though, it is for the library catalogue but still... it makes me cry.

I had to take my aging laptop in to work to work on, as the machine I was allocated was a 386 with 64 MB of memory. Web development on that piece of crap was a nightmare. 5+ minutes to swap between apps.

Oh no! The rift in time is messed up again! Someone, invent the wheel!

That would be sooo cool.

Oh.
I thought you were going to tell us that some bright spark paid for an all-nighter with a hooker, but couldn't keep going, so just brought her into work for everyone else.

New Dell computers aren't really what I was expecting.

Psh..I just gotta love you guys.
