I have Windows 8 on a touchscreen laptop and I love it and have had zero problems at all.

Windows mobile for a cell phone, on the other hand, is a work of pure unmitigated evil.

How do you make it not the worst thing since Hitler? I fucking hate it.

Revert back to Windows 7?  :asshat:

before Windows 8 I was using Vista. That may clear things up a bit.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Skipped from XP to 7, will be skipping 8 as well and hoping the trend continues. I've never even used Vista or 8.

I skipped 7.

I've never used 8, and never will.

I did use Vista once, however.

I never upgraded XP to service pack 3, then skipped to 7. If I could afford the Cult of Macintosh, I would, but I can't. I'm also too stupid for Linux.

Finally done my article on Libya.  Only three days overdue, but I certainly feel I understand the conflict better now.

Just gotta hyperlink it up and send it out.

WINDOWS 8/8.1 IS SHIT.  You can't find and delete programs you don't want anymore except ones that it decides is okay for you to get rid of, the control panel doesn't, and I just hate it so much.

I'd like to insert some snarky comment about being a lifetime Mac user, but that has epic fails all its own.

To the wise ladies of PD:

We have a new co-worker. She is now one of two dispatchers that uses the Ladies room. She was working during first shift and left. When the girl on 2nd shift went to the bathroom a few hours later, she came out not knowing what the hell she should do - she saw what looked like a blood drop on the floor next to the toilet and a few blood streaks down the outside of the bowl.

She was not comfortable using the facility, not knowing anything about this new person and what kinds of wonderful diseases strangers could have. None of the dudes volunteered to clean it, and I am now gone.

Right now the plan is, when I get in tomorrow, to wait a half hour or so for the new hire to go on break, check to see if the blood is still there, and inform one of the supervisors that will be present of the situation. Do you feel like this is the least invasive method, and one which will avoid embarrassment or ill will?

I would prefer not to approach the new hire about it. Having spent the last week with her, she makes me a bit uneasy in her mannerisms and I would prefer to not have some completely off the wall accusation flown at me in the event my suspicions are correct.

lady probably uses a menstrual cup? an unwieldy removal is probably embarrassing enough, and IDK if you wanna be talking to someone about their san-pro preferences. Lady needs some antibac bathroom wipes in her purse, or you need em in in the cubicles. if you sit down for a long time sometimes they ride up and can be a little messy on removal.

The guy in the black pickup truck that's been honking at me for like two years now happened to be outside along my walk home today and introduced himself as such. He was genuinely surprised that his behavior was unwelcome. SO MUCH HATE.

Yay babies and puppies, boo bad things.

Why the hell would anyone think that honking at a strange woman for two years would be anything but CREEPY???

Hey, this kind of feeds into my current project- Make the zine I wrote the bit on OMF for an actual thing with more than that one submission... Q.G do you mind if I use that quote? You too, Nigel!
