I Hate DOS Systems
March 18th, 2008
So they gave me an ID and password at work. That means I actually have to learn their crappy DOS system that was developed by neantherthals a few million years ago along with the invention of the wheel. Everytime I’m on it, I feel like I should be riding horse carriages to work and speak in Old English. “Good den, my lord. What be thy birthdate? Dost generics suit thee? Most splendid!” “Sir Williams, methinks ye hath no refills. Very well, I shall summon thy physician at once.”
Perhaps it was God’s intervention to save me from my DOS torment when the entire store plunged into darkness due to a power outage. Even the backup generator failed. I got to go home 30 minutes early as a result. Yes, it takes a power outage for them to let me go half an hour early. It’s gonna take a category 5 hurricane for them to let me to go an hour early and an apocalypse for them to let me off a whole day.
So I’ll be praying for the end of the world this week.
