You know its bad enough when I'm killing time because I can or I want to for a little while on the job. But its really frustrating to be stuck and not able to work because of computer failures. I've spent so much time with our computer network geek this week that I feel like we're dating or going stead or something. Schuyler's a really nice guy and competent but I can't help feeling that the local high school is someday going to call, wanting the Audio/Visual Club president back.
So, I think I'm finally back in business after close to 2 hours of futzing this morning. Schuyler forgot and removed my mouse driver software that allows me to double-click by pressing on my mouse wheel once, and I had to go online and locate the correct drivers. Of course, I don't have administrator privileges, so I can't download and install the software, I have to email him the link and he can install it for me, remotely.
Ditto for the video card drivers that he was going to ignore until I said I could not live with the jittering, juddery scrolling that the on-board video was capable of. He got both of those things fixed, remotely, while I went to lunch.
Lunch? A gas fill-up, a trip to Lowes to purchase a 10,500 BTU window air conditioner and Panda Expires for a rice bowl with Thai cashew chicken breast and veggies.
And now- back to the charts!
