Was sitting here at Big Ed’s tonight, playing on the new Macbook Pro laptop when I decided to check out the podcasts for ideas. Lo and behold, you can’t hear podcasts if you completely forget to pay for the hosting on the site they’re posted on, right?
It’s not like anyone cares, but I’ll see about getting them re-posted, or maybe starting over soon Gotta justify keeping the iMac now that the laptop is here…
We find our royal selves immensely amused Tuesday..
As anyone with a brain can attest, I am a relatively new Apple computer fan. When I started my new job, the systems admin stopped by the first day in my temp office and said “whatcha need?” I jokingly responded that “Hey, if you’re granting wishes, I’d love a mac laptop”. Now… No system admin has ever taken me seriously — even when I used to be one.
Enter Tuesday afternoon. Robin (same guy) walks in with a couple of non-descript boxes and says “Merry Christmas”. Lo and behold, the contents of said boxes contain one Mac Pro laptop and a copy of Office 2008.
Needless to say I was simply giddy and while I had other work to do, you can bet that I stayed the whole night configuring the new baby for work-like activities.. The next day, the scavengers — who for all imaging purposes appear like those little fish that suck algae off of bigger fish — quickly found the lonely, unloved Windows box sitting in the hallway.
Love this company. Love my job. Love, love, love the Mac. Can’t wait for the iPhone.
