Have I Told You Lately How Much You PISS ME OFF!?

So the new IT lady at work did some kind of update to the network last night, and this morning several people had all their settings changed on their PC's, and now programs on the network are also malfunctioning. I realize that the rest of us average folks are dumb and IT people are all brilliant geniuses, but I still think if I have shut my PC down 4 times and restarted it (per the IT person's insistence) and am still experiencing the SAME problem, shutting it down YET again IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. And telling me after I have shut my PC down and restarted it for the FIFTH TIME (apparently IT has to watch you do this in order to believe it was actually done) that she doesn't know what the problem is, to call the programmer, only makes HER look stupid, not me, despite her condescending, arrogant tone.

So in short, IT lady..

SUCK IT!!!!

And did I mention that "Shut down your PC and restart it and if that doesn't work do it two more times" is her standard response to ANY question asked by ANYONE here??? And that I am only ONE person on a list of about TEN people who have had network, PC, and program issues today??

PS
And I don't think talking to everyone like they are mentally challenged children is a very good way to start out a new job. But hey, that's just me. Maybe other people LIKE being talked to like they are naughty pets or stupid children.

The Vile Roman Polanski

For anyone who might be inclined to have even a twinge of pity for the pedophile Roman Polanski...

Parole Date

It's been set, tentatively. It's a year and a half away, and yet when I read it, my heart rate picks up and my breath quickens. I wonder why... after sixteen years ... I am still (if I am to be honest with myself) just a little bit afraid of him.

I can't decide if I even wish I'd gone to the hearing, or not. Would it have made a difference? Even if it did, it's only two years more he'd have to serve.

I wonder...what difference does all of this make now? After all these years? My name is changed. I look different than I did when I was 18, and really, is he going to risk his freedom to try and hurt me again? Would it be worth it to him to get even?

I don't know. I just don't know.

I hate that any of this still matters.

Moving

I've moved to a new apartment. It has central AC (yay!), so I no longer need my window AC units. I sold one today. Sold it to the hottest man I have seen in probably...ten years. I wish he'd been giving me that $40 bucks for another reason...heh heh heh!

Decisions

I swear sometimes I should have been born a Libra!

Why is it at times so unbelievably difficult for me to make a simple decision? Why do I have to go over every little tiny aspect of the situation before I decide what to do? Why can't it be more simple than that?

UGH!
