Cause baby girl's a queen

So work continues to be of varying quality. Notable today was the project one of my supervisors gave me this morning.

SAM'S PROJECT IN ONE ACT

(Admittedly very nice)Supervisor: Sam, I need you to reorganize all the drawers in this cabinet, because none of it's very convenient.

Me: Sure, it'll be great to have something to --

Supervisor: Oh, but don't actually move any files, because everything's very conveniently placed right now.

Me: ...I'm sorry?

Supervisor: At any rate, none of your careful organization plan will matter, because nothing in the drawers are where they're supposed to be.

Me: /ragequits

On the other hand, no one cares if I use office time to order a milkshake for take-out from a diner nearby. I count this as a win.

My mother ordered my new laptop today! I'm getting an Acer Aspire TimelineX because holy shit, the battery lasts for eight hours. (Also, it's very pretty.)

I go through phases where I play shit loads of point-and-click room escape games, so every now and then I return to the Submachine series, a thoroughly creepy collection of games set in mysterious locations which all appear to be something called Submachines. A review called it the Lost of online games, and I tend to agree. They're really worht playing, even if you end up using the handy walkthroughs for most of them. (If you'd rather tone down the creepy, listen to this mash-up while playing, because it makes everything hilarious.)

Well, programming, and what you can download that will work with it. It's just an entirely different platform, and even though the number of Mac users is certainly growing, almost every PC user is going to be using the same platform. The differences just make connecting between the two more difficult than sharing between two computers would be normally. Apple's been trying to make it easier, but that doesn't guarantee it's easy. TL;DR, I do think a Mac would be good for you, and it's good for a lot of people. Personally, I just don't find that a Mac does everything I need.

Gotcha, but then again, I guess it's possible that you have more specific requirements when it comes to a computer than I do. I mean, I basically need Word, the internet, and a way to play music.
