At your request Ms. Sparks

Attention: This is a bitch and moan blog entry.

So I've pretty much been working at the office for a month now. Twas fine while I was lugging my own machine back and forth since I had all the files and it was just way more convenient since they didn't really have something suffice for me to use at the office. But enough was enough with the draggin' all my equipment around especially when it rained 2 weeks straight. So now I'm stuck at the office with a 7 year old Mac G5 with only 512 megs of RAM and Photoshop 7 (which I always liked that version), Illustrator 10 (never really used) and Indesign 2.0 (never ever used). Wah Wah Wah!

I got all excited because I thought I was getting all new and shiny equipment with flames kickin' out the back with all it's newness and fanciness. Man that bubble was burst when other office person brings up getting me a computer and big boss man is all O I though she was gonna use the Mac. Now keep in mind i'm no Diva who demands new shit, but come on anyone who designs knows that you do not appreciate watching a wheel spin just to render a photo while trying to clean it up. So luckily the past couple of days I was only cleaning up photos which is no biggie. But i'm done with that now and tried to created a header for the SnS website out of Photoshop upon request of programmer and that did not go so well. Let's just say I honestly tried to make it work for 3 hours so I had a strong argument built as to why I need upgraded (preferably new) equipment.

Well in that 3 hours I felt stress I hadn't felt since pre press days and believe me I was not happy in fact I was in tears. It took me a flippin' hour to calm down and go talk to in office man about going home to finish work on my computer for the day. He was very understanding of my situation but had no clue of my tech speak. I told him that maybe if we put more RAM in the Mac that would help me out a bit. So he calls their computer guy (who is more of a phone system man) to tell him that I knew exactly what type of RAM and that it was the same as a PCs and that I had installed the RAM in the macs at my previous job so I knew what I was talking about. Well computer/ phone dude did not believe me which I had the feeling he would not. He thinks that Mac & PCs are completely different beast and Mac has foreign parts.

So today I get to start all over again and my nerves are already getting to me and I don't want to go to work today at all but have to since they want me in office. Please please let the Mac demons tear up my POS Mac today for good.
