Bill Gates must be in league with the Devil. Go ahead and prove me wrong. After all, why the hell else would we put up with all the shit he deals out into the world? And let's not mince words here - it is shit. Utter crap. Only tonight, my PC decided (whilst not connected to the 'net) that the perfect time to connect and update Windoze would be when I'd not asked it to, but was busy burning a CD and printing a label. Fortunately, due to the massive crash that followed, Winblows never got as far as the 'net. (thank Christ I pulled the phone line in time - I hate to think what happens when Windo$e connects on its own!). It only took me about 30 minutes to get my machine to boot again, and recognise the printer and CD burner again. Cheers 'Gates you old c*nt - that's another 30 minutes of my life you've stolen. It's not big, and it's not clever. There's not a single user out there that doesn't want to see your company toppled from it's lofty perch.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages.

In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
