evildeb, macs, work

Maybe one day you’ll wise up, sap!

In today’s episode of what is on Jodi’s t-shirt today:

It’s Slimey the Worm! From sesame street! Yay! Today’s t-shirt is an orange on orange ringer, paired with a black cashmere cardigan from the men’s line of Land’s End [treated very poorly indeed], levi’s, and black suede canvas one stars.

Right now, Evildeb [who’s boobies are known as Siegfried and Roy] is trying to do something genius. If she gets it to work, I will have to be her best friend forever. I’m willing to commit to that, because, if she accomplishes what she sets out to do, she’ll be THWARTING THE MAN! The same Man who is always trying to keep you down. In a geeky operating system parity kind of way. I can’t really tell you the specifics, because that’s Place of Employment [PoE] confidential. But, it goes something like this:

The Man: You must use this system. It’s crappy and slow and buggy and complicated and it sucks. It won’t do everything you want or need. But that’s just the way it is. Oh, and it only runs on Windows.

Jodi: Windows? but but…

The Man: YES WINDOWS!! quit crying, mac babies!

several months later, after Evildeb SWITCHED to the Mac as her primary machine…

Evildeb: you know…. there’s no reason we couldn’t run this on a mac. I just need to mumble mumble nameserver mumblle mumble java gui mumble mumble .ini file. I don’t want to have to lug around TWO laptops every time I travel.

Jodi: HOORAY!!

I really hope she figures it out.

I meant to show you this the other day. Oops. Nintendo Crime. It’s pretty brilliant.
