What a day

I just relayed this to gilmae, so I’ll c&p it here. Easier.

(2:35:14 PM) NemesisAu: ADSL up and down all day so when I went home for lunch I grabbed my cable to tehter my phone
(2:35:22 PM) NemesisAu: won’t tether, need itunes 8.2+
(2:35:54 PM) NemesisAu: i tell boss going home again to grab laptop “Why?” Need itunes 8.2 to tether “Can’t you just install it?”
(2:36:04 PM) NemesisAu: ….. I… I need to download it.
(2:36:13 PM) NemesisAu: “Oh, oh of course.”
(2:36:46 PM) NemesisAu: so I shut down laptop at home, reboot at work “We’re forcing a chkdsk, press any key to cancel”
(2:37:14 PM) NemesisAu: This is where I find there’s a bug in win7 chkdsk that causes the pc to hang on boot regardless of key pressing
(2:38:10 PM) NemesisAu: actually no, not regardless of pressing cos 5 reboots and random button smashes on an external kbd later, it boots
(2:38:15 PM) gilmae: Yay for Microsoft!
(2:38:41 PM) NemesisAu: if you let it run it gets to 1 in the countdown and hangs
(2:39:38 PM) NemesisAu: so I use my PC to book couriers etc, print connotes to pdf to print on appropriate paper, cos, you know, you can’t have a tethered connection *and* a wireless connection *AT THE SAME TIME* nooooooo
(2:40:20 PM) NemesisAu: then iexplore simply ignored all the margin settings EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME and the prints go off the appropriate label bits, and with the single connection thing it’s enable iphone, go to print, change settings, print to pdf, disable iphone, enable wireless, copy to server, on desktop check the margins and FUCKIT, rinse, repeat
(2:41:19 PM) NemesisAu: phone ringing, people bugging me… and just when I was about put my phone up my laptops arse, then my laptop up the desktop’s arse, and put them all in the printer’s arse, adsl came back on.
(2:43:53 PM) gilmae: lol
(2:44:23 PM) gilmae: You’ve been waiting all day for me to show up on MSN to rant this, haven’t you
(2:44:33 PM) NemesisAu: it only just came back on
(2:44:37 PM) NemesisAu: you were my first stop
