More Bad Support
Ok, I have a problem with a Compaq dc5700 desktop computer. HP/Compaq wants you to go to their website now and login for support. So I go there, and get the following error, saying that my model is not supported, but here is a list of computers that are supported. Guess what, my model is in the first friggin section.
It took over an hour to get phone support on the line. Compaq/HP you suck at support. I hate calling India!

New job update
New job is great.
Got to order a new HP laptop, got a massive monster of a system, 17" widescreen, Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD. Thing rocks.
I'm in a temporary desk right now while my CUBE is being built out. Relearning the joys of cube living in a regular office. Heard one of those funny sentances start up just now over the wall:
"Back when I had my teeth..." started the conversation on the other side of the wall.
Yeah, this is going to be a blast!
I'm having fun getting to know the network here, getting reacquainted with some old friends and settling into a great job.
Oh, and the commute. My last job was 22 miles from home and took an hour and fifteen minutes in the morning on average and an hour and a half at night. The new job is 20 miles from home, and takes forty-five minutes in the morning and about forty-five minutes in the evening for a net time saved of about a hour a day. That's five hours a week. 250 hours a year saved with two weeks vacation figured into the mix. Wohoo!
