But really, I'm feeling much better!

Greetings Sharon --

Here is your horoscope for Wednesday, August 14:

Morality influences you without consuming you. Pisces isn't escaping -- just moving on. Your rules may apply better in the next world than in the one that you're leaving behind.

Should I take that as a hint? The next world? But I don't even know anyone named Skip!


And in less amusing news, the facists at antheia's job have deleted all of her programs and formally reprimanded her. What-the-fuck-ever. I don't know why 'adults' in the business world get such a bee in their bonnet about the younger people multi-tasking. We're given the same amount of work that any well-trained ape could do in half an hour, every 2 to 3 hours, so when we finish it perfectly and early, and no one has anything else for us to ruddy do, then what, pray tell, is the horrid nuisance of someone checking their hotmail or reading lj until further tasks can be provided? I mean really! I've always believed that the younger generations' computer proficiency threatens the typwriter generations, and they think that by keeping us away from the computer as much as possible, thinking that we won't get any better at using it if our exposure is limited. However, this is only true for those who 'boot down' their computers, or have ever gone to a store and asked how much it was to buy 'an internet',think that it's the speed of their processor that's limiting their ability to navigate the web when they are still using a 3600 speed modem, or even gone to a writing center and when asked what program their paper is saved to the disk in, they've answered 'Compaq pentium...no...windows? I think it's windows!' (personal gripe).
In short, if you want us to actually do things, you must give us things to do!! grrr...

And in the domain of things that are shiny:
I love this song. Am *such* a sap.

Which Cure single are you?

also: I took this quiz due to peer pressure, but had to laugh at the result; she was my IDOL from age 2-6 (or whatever year She-Ra premiered.):




I'm Diana, which ambiguous dyke are you? Quiz by Turi.

blech, I've had similar problems. But almost the opposite, I would finish working and ask them for something else to do, and they would tell me to just go play solitaire.

feh, and they all want us to be so proficient with computers for these jobs.

i sort of agree with you -- i'm not quite sure what i would do if i wasn't allowed to play with my computer. on the other hand, this company is paying for your time, and that means they have the right to dictate what you do with it (within reason). if they would rather have you staring at the wall than playing with the internet, that's their prerogative.
