what computer am i working on? now, that's a good question!hmmmm...lemme think... it's got a black keyboard and has a trendy sprotscar shape.what do
you think it is? :)anyway, thanks for the precious advice about minimizing windows. sadly, there seems to be so much work that the only time i'll be
able to get on this MB is when Sigur Ros release the new album and it gets reviewed in my bloody mag. and i'll prolly have to find out something
about the correct spelling of gong or milano. it's a wonderful, wonderful life *sigh*

" minimizing the windows is that i'll have to work on Macintosh computer and i've no idea how to operate the bastard! "
ah! you sicken me! Prepare yourself for the most pleasant computing experience of your life, my friend. To minimize quickly just hit the apple key +
M. pretty simple. Then make friends with your computer. Love it, and it shall love you in return. What have you got? iMac, g4 or g5, eMac?

wow! first day at work over and i'm really surprised they didn't fire me on the spot. i must be getting really good at hiding the fact i'm such a
jaded nihilistic optimism-lacking lazy arse (your description rings astonishingly true, cam!). the only problem with going to chats and message boards
and then minimizing the windows is that i'll have to work on Macintosh computer and i've no idea how to operate the bastard! as for the
work-related illnesses, i'm looking forward to going completely blind in the near future. and bald. and fat. in other words, i'm looking forward to
the second day at work :) AND GIVE MY PENS BACK!

I live near to the real Royston Vasey. I once made a reference to precious things on this board when snowglobes were mentioned, but no-one seemed to
understand...

Get a mirror for your computer. Use your favorite chat application and surf for your favourite things on Google. When you see the slightest movement
in that mirror, hit your Windows Key + D at the same time to minimize all windows at once.

hehehe... i use windows + M to minimize the current window, it is less suspicious that way.

dually noted, Bodhi...
I am convinced that work has induced anxiety in me. It's taken me 2 years to overcome them...all mental of course. The very first one I had was at
work and I had no idea what it was. Heart attack was my only conclusion, so I went to the ER and got a EKG and all that terrible stuff.
I have a cabinet filled with Xanax, Prevacid and Zoloft. WTF. Work should not be this way. I'm only 27. This is Office Space at its worst.

i aim high, darren.
you see, work can be a much more enjoyable place if you set your mind to it.
i recommend having your windows explore minimized and ready. looking for a file can be a good filler while the CEO's creeping by.

equivalent of Time Out. And i'm sick at the thought of going to the office and having fixed working hours every day.Fucking disgusting, if you ask
me. So... any tips on how to survive the daily routine will be very much appreciated.
