A Charitable Moment

You work through things for a while. You let little things go. Little things like not being able to run tasks you want to run through the task scheduler because you can't figure out the stupid passwording scheme--oh, it's not really that you can't figure it out, but that you just don't have the freaking time to waste on digging up the particulars. But then it gets to where your system is crawling to a stop, and when it does stop you can't even get the power button to turn the dang system off. This is an eerie feeling, BTW. Eventually you realize you're wasting more time working through this junk that you would if you just tried to fix it. So I gave a morning to Microsoft. Call it a charitiable moment. I spent much of the day today looking at support documentation, and reading other people's complaints. In the end, I really didn't solve much beyond "do a defrag and disk clean-up" which I already knew. And "put a password into the task scheduler" which I already knew, but which disagrees with their help documentation...in other words, I wasted a morning. And to think I was so danged close to picking up a copy of Red Hat Linux just a couple weeks ago.   So, how the heck was your morning?  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
