A relaxing day
May 27th, 2009 by Leo
Boss is on leave today. All staff are on business trip except 2 admins and myself.
I have been on this job for about 2 weeks now. So far so good. The only thing I am not too happy about is the computer. I am using the slowest computer of the whole office. My boss thinks that adding a piece of RAM onto my computer would make it fly LOL. Hence I don’t get a computer. I probably won’t get a computer until this one breaks.
One of the admin’s computer was broken on Wednesday, and hence she got a new computer with a giant screen right the way. She only works here part time and she only uses Outlook and Excel. But I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver! And I only got 512MB of RAM and a P4 2.8 CPU!
Can anyone tell me how to break a computer in a ‘natural’ way?
On the other hand I don’t really want the new computer – coz it is in French Windows Vista Home Premium version. (If you are interested, it doesn’t support server/client environment. It is not meant to be used in the office.) It is just not good to use at all! If one day I got a new computer (I doubt when that time would come) I will format it and install XP onto it.
The problem is my boss won’t listen. She only looks at the price. And she hates to create pollutant – hence she is reluctant to replace the computers. When I interviewed with her, she told me all computers are reasonably new. I can tell you they are not! She thinks 5-year-old computers are new.
Last Thursday was a public holiday and hence Doris & I went to Bern and Fribourg. I am sure Bern is one of the most beautiful town in the world! A lovely town with stylish buildings, surrounded by a river. Photos on Doris’s facebook!
