Must destroy Apple Inc. People say that Microsoft is evil and such, but at least they make a product that works!!! Not so w/ Apple. Or at least the ones in our frigging lab.

They run slow as cold molasses, they freeze inexplicably, you can delete the system library and fuck everything up, and they suck.
Seriously, was trying to open a ".gel" document (a picture of a gel I ran. The program just has to be contrary and name it something that no photoshop except one sold by a specific company will open...but that one is encountering unretrievable errors so i'm forced to the macintosh photoshops since someone insists on looking at their excel spreadsheets of their colonies on the pc), but the old ass mac that always does it right has a fucked monitor now because people wanted the G4 (read spawn of satan here) to have the one that worked and you could see differences in grey. So couldn't tell for sure if i'd get the image prettified enough so i emailed it to myself so I could open it on the G4 (since that computer refuses to communicate w/ any of the others in the lab).....but wait, what's this....the new macintosh operating system won't open a file that the old ass operating system would.

Arrrrggghh. Of course, I 'm sure its due to someone in this lab fucking it up. You'd think that in a lab full of 12 postdocs that at least half would know how to operate a computer (be it pc or mac) w/out fucking it to hell. But no, we have 2 post doc who can do that and 2 grad students....I thought that the chinese were supposed to be advanced of us in science and math...apparently no one teaches them the finer points of DON'T SCREW W/ THE SYSTEM FILES OF A COMPUTER EVER GORRAMIT!!!

Sigh, okay, really looking forward to that beer now.

Really, sometimes I don't know if the problem is w/ me or everyone else. I was raised to respect people's rights and follow the rules to do so. So am I wrong to be annoyed when I see a neighbor letting his cat roam the hallways of the building? I mean, my allergies to animal dander aside, you just don't do that. Besides, it's not like this guy has a small apt -- he has a two bedroom apt. I used to live in one in this building, they are huge! But here he is letting his cat roam the hall and sticking his head out any time he hears any one come out so the cat doesn't get shut into the trash room (which is where the little bugger seems to hang around, surprise surprise).

Siiiggghh, Part of me really really wants to complain vorciferously to the landlord, the other part (the one that brian has had too much influence over) says I shouldn't punish the cat for it's owners idiocy (instead I should teach the cat to put rat poison in the owner's food -- joking :)
