My ugly rant about work

[beck]

After the class on Tues, I realized how whatever idiot at work, is spelling my name on a few forms and such. My paper nametag on the monitor was Becky Anne Smith. HELLO asshole! My name is not Becky Anne! Its just Becky! Anne is my middle name *gets ready to throw something*. I also noticed they have my full name on my paystub, I might have to ask the ppl I work with in my area if they do that to them too. If not, then I understand if there is another Becky Smith working in another state for the same company hence why using my middle name but that does not mean you use my middle name in EVERYTHING! So later after the one small break during the class, I took my pen and scribbled out Anne, seeing my full name spelled out like that made me feel so hickish while everyone else had their normal names spelled out. The only time ANYONE should use my full name is when I would get yelled at by mom or both parents, then sometimes they would call me Rebecca Anne but Rebecca IS NOT my name, seriously, I was born with Becky. There, I had to get that off my chest cause when ppl do or say my name wrong, it really irritates me. Now I know how Ali feels when ppl say his name wrong or spell it wrong.

This is in regards of Windows XP and who ever is in charge (or should I say morons)of the computer systems here at work.

After Tues. class, they told us that within 48hrs they were going to work on changing all the PC's to XP. I was glad that I remembered to back up some things I had saved on the compy I use or transfer a few things to my drive that they have set up for us at work. When I got in tonight and signed in, I made sure to have it setup on the original version instead of XP. but the thing I hate about the one here at work is that their taskbar is so huge and takes up alot of space and there hasn't been a way for me to fix that.

THEN! THEN during that class, they told us that we would no longer be able to download anything to the C drive, if you needed a program installed, you were to bring in a copy for them, they would make a special copy to give back to you that you could download to your system (or I think they would've done it for you). So tonight I thought I'd give it a try, they weren't lying. Not only do they have the Real Player website blocked, but when I tried to download DivX in order to have some SORT of way to watch my anime at work, certain files couldn't be downloaded since they most likely had to be on the C drive. But it did install all that was needed to cause I tried it out and it does play my anime discs. I might have to see if I can't burn a copy of Real Player setup at home and try to download it at work.

So knowing this, I had to clean out my personal drive at work that I store some fics, fanart pics, amvids and such onto a floppy so that way I had more open space to download certain programs into that drive. They give us 250 megs in that drive so it should be awhile before I ever fill that.

Then I took a look at the PC itself with appearance and it just infurated me even more. The whole company had received brand new Dell's a few months ago so why the hell they couldn't just upgrade the new ones to XP is beyond me. So they took out the brand new ones in exchange for another Dell PC system that already had XP on it. These are USED and abused PC's. For our print area, we seem to get shit on alot yet its US that they have to rely on in order to get alot of these forms out. There are scratches on the front part of the PC, the door in the front that has the headphone jack is so hard to open, the cd rom drive button is fucked up to where its almost pushed the whole way in and all you have to do is lightly touch it for it to open. I pushed in the front piece around the button to see if it makes it pop out more and it does but doesn't help much. I'm just afraid that within time, I won't be able to open it up anymore. The floppy drive did give me a bit of a problem but not as much as the cd rom.

I checked out in the distro area and where my super's desk is and their PC's look just fine and dandy *GRRRRRRR!!!!* If they didn't have a damn code number on these, I would've traded them out.

Then I went to open my Outlook Express that the company uses for our email and it took FOREVER to open up. I tried it again later and was still pretty slow -___-. As you can see, my patience was wearing out pretty thin tonight. And something else that doesn't make sense. With new PC that we had, the system ran alot smoother and quicker, now with this piece of shit, it seems to run programs alot slower and I don't know why, the other PC is on the same network as this one.

Its bad enough when they are getting pretty ridiculious on blocking certain sites and treating certain areas around here with shitty PC's, I give them about another yr before they have it to where you can do NOTHING with your PC except for company email and thats it. They blocked ALL or just about ALL internet radio stations which out of all things, what the fuck gives???!!!!!!!!!!!!! Porn related sites and such things like that I can understand but get fucking real or a clue assholes! I'm sure I'm not the only one around this company that has a reg. internet email account OR listen to music on the computers!!!

The 2nd shift dude told me last night as we were changing shifts that some computer dude might come in before I leave to do something with the PC. I REALLY REALLY hope he does cause I'm in the mood to relieve a full blown BITCH rant to him, not that he would care or anything but still. And its not good either that I'm feeling so pissed since I get really moody a week before pms'ing and during. So if this guy doesn't come in before I leave, then I'll just bitch about it to my super tonight, not that he would care either but fuck it, FUCK THEM I say!

*pantspantspants*

Damn it! Where's my Limp Bizkit cd when I need something to go with my pissy mood! I was gonna add more bitching about other things while I'm in the mood and on my mind but I might do that later.

*tries to take a deep, calming breath*
