    Now that Jobs is back, can he now post an opening for the position of Cat-O-Nine handler to whip the people responsible for not fixing the mini displayport dual-link DVI adapter fast enough?

    It's good to hear that he made a recovery... Or, is recovering... Or however it goes when you're trying to talk about Steve being back on Teh Jobs again.

    The image IS accurate. He's drinking a cocktail of tacrolimus, cyclosporin, and prednisone to prevent organ rejection with a splash of Lillet for flavor.

    Instead of looking ridiculous, I think I'd rather just bring a pillow to work.

    I'm a tech support analyst...

    Right now, it's rolling back a failed user profile transfer for 2 hours before redoing it for 11... other times "it's imaging the disk."

    I comment on Gizmodo with a very serious earnest expression, and type quickly and occasionally glance at my phone's clock so that I look like I'm on a time crunch. I'm praised for being busy. I look like I'm writing some essay as I type this, only to stop to take a swig of my vitamin water (green tea FTW).

    I can't imagine how few commenters there would be on Giz if it weren't for slow computers. Lord knows I have used the "well I was waiting for _____" excuse a million times when my boss comes in and sees me on this site.

    /Start Rant/
    You know, the more I thought of this the more I wanted to point out that the people who actually get (abuse) breaks are the smokers. Outside every 30 mins to suck down some nicoteine. As a former smoker, I understand addiction, but I also understand slacking and thats what is going on. Why cant we fix it? The CEO is out there smoking with them. If I want a break I need to start smoking again....
    /End Rant?


    Before you say Giz is my break, I actually read Giz for work reasons.

    I get to use some crappy SQL frontend that was internally developed and often hangs in my line of work. I'm also the only techically inclined person here, so when I say "uploads are going slow today" it's taken as gospel.


    That, or I can always fall back on the #1 solution given by our incompetent IT for every single problem: "Did you try defragging?"

    @enm4r: lol sounds exactly like a chunk of sh*t app we use at my work, fortunately being that in App Suppport I don't really ever need to use it (or support it)...


    I have also used the Defrag Smoke break in a previous job...

    In reply to 6 Gadgets That Will Help You Score a New Job
    I got my own circuits and I got my own cities

    So can't no bitch talk shit to meezies

    Like BestBuy did me, bitch changed the locks

    And kicked me up outta spot

    I learned a lesson, I wasn't guessin' or stressin'

    I got another bitch and she was at the convalescent home

    She said she needed a HDTV

    Shit I needed a receiver plus a new upconverter

    Snap, crack, it's on

    But in no time at all seems she fell in love

    But i wasn't ready for that

    Topcat had to SCART

    I hit her friend from the back

    While she was at work workin'

    I was jerkin' that skirt

    And fucking with all her reward zone points that was flirtin'

    And when she found out she told me that that shit hurt (boo-hoo)

    A week later she went into liquidation with a third party company

    Bitch you ain't shit but dirt for dirt (bitch!)
