well, as some of you know this last weekend I bit the bullet and reformatted this piece of crap (aka Gateway) that I’m on, and got rid of the ‘standard screen-saver’ that comes with Windows-ME :happydance
\nYea, I’m almost embarrassed to say it but I was<\/i> on ME, for about 2 1\/2 years, and to be totally honest it was ok, well, as long as you reformatted every 6 months or so :fdup, and we won’t even discuss all the crap that the aforementioned Gateway company puts on their machines…(can you tell I really<\/i> don’t care for their computers? :smile)
\nso now, I’m running Windows 2000 professional…(and before you say it yes I know how great XP is, we use it at work, however my poor little machine does NOT have the resources to run it :angry) it’s a nice clean install, with none of the other bullshit, and I’m a very<\/i> happy camper now…
\nwell, till I get the time\/money to build my own machine :thumb
\nIn other news, we have snow! :freak3 allot of snow, and no I’m not nearly as thrilled about it as my children are…(go figure) I saw\/heard something yesterday I’ve seen very few times in my life, thunder and lightning while it was snowing\/sleeting!
\nNow mind you, I’ve lived in areas where snow was a very common thing (SLC for 4 years, KS for 2 and MO for 4) you get very used to it around there, but thats just weird<\/i> when its snowing like hell and you hear thunder! I was at the grocery store when it started and one lady asked if that was a jet going overhead :lol
\nSo all total we got around 8 inches, they closed school and 1\/2 the town last night, and I made sure to check my caller id before I answered it, as it was my night off and no I can’t<\/i> come in to work thank you very much!! I have a mommy mobile (aka van) and they don’t really like anything but the most pristine conditions, so I’m sitting my happy arse at home! :biggrin
\n**UPDATE**
\nI did just get a call from work that I answered, apparently everyone has called in, and I have 2 co-workers stuck at work, they can’t leave (because of the snow) and are taking turns sleeping up there in the lobby…yea, I do feel sorry for them, but I don’t have a vehicle to drive up there, and I’m not<\/b> walking!!
\nI told him to look at the bright side, at least it was 2 of them and not just one…:rofl
\nStay warm all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
