It’s the same device! Why the big deal just because I used a different USB port? This is no small pain in the butt when I’m dealing with my Microsoft (haha!) Wireless keyboard and mouse, which seems to want to install 7 drivers (all with plenty of prompting) every time it sees it and doesn’t . . . → Read More: Rant: Why does Windows want to reinstall drivers for USB devices when I plug them into a different USB port?

We are getting ridiculous amounts of bogus phone calls. Just this morning: 7/22 7/22 7/22 7/22 7/22 Here’s a bit more of our call log. 7/21 7/21 7/21 7/21 7/21 7/21 7/20 7/20 7/20 7/19 7/19 7/19 7/19 7/19 7/19 7/19 7/18 Well, I’m not exactly sure what the world needs (“love, sweet love” perhaps?).

Then when someone commented on it after the meeting, I jokingly pretended to give an OfficeSpace-style thrashing to it, but did it ever go lightly with my elbow. Well not that lightly apparently, . . . → Read More: More oncall fun |
