Between the Words

I’ve been busy this week. I had a hard time finding what I want. I couldn’t get my eyes off the monitor. Sitting all day in the same exact spot. I already made plans for next week. I’m tired and fed-up. I was so happy when Thursday arrived.

What I was really saying …

I’ve been busy this week doing nothing. I had a hard time finding a new template for the site. I couldn’t get my eyes off the monitor from playing online. Sitting all day in the same exact spot doing nothing. I already made plans for next week to do this week’s tasks. I’m tired and fed-up of boredom. I was so happy when Thursday arrived.

PS: I didn’t get away that easy, I’m already processing work from home!!! Why can’t I be bad and not get punished for it ??

IT Thoughts

When your antivirus management application virus detections summary states a low number, as an IT person, are you relieved or not??

Do you believe that users have turned over a new leaf and sensibly used your company’s systems?

I thought so :P

This is how it goes down for me

  • Double check the application’s virus update, do we have the latest updates
  • Is there any virus outbreak that we aren’t immunized from
  • Are the antivirus clients applications running on all your end systems
  • Is live protection running
  • When was the last full scan
  • Cross fingers, hope and pray ;)

Because no way this detections number is real with all the company functioning in its full capacity!

Computer Virus

You have a set of computers always infected with something. Actions to be taken, move “certain” users under a group with strict access, they’d be lucky if they can run windows calculator!

Some people remind you of something

Everytime I see this guy, he reminds me of someone I can’t exactly pin point it!

No reaction what so ever, blank expression all the time

I ended up in an elevator with him and his cold stare

Then it hit me …

He fits the profile of a serial killer … AHA .. got it finally … OK .. not good … in an elevator with a potential serial killer!

Pen in hand … WTH is that going to do ???

Is this elevator going slower!

Look at him, he’s about to strike …

quit thinking these thoughts woman, and NO more Dexter for you!!

IE8

I just downloaded IE8 beta version link

It didn’t change much, squared tabs and added icons in drop down menus.

They are adopting what web 3.0 is about, personalizing user experience, but I turned this off!

New features I’m curious about web slices, accelerator and smartscreen filter.

As you open the browser and type in the address bar, it’s segmented into parts, auto complete which you can jump to directly by (shift+enter) kinda like (ctrl+enter) that appends (www&com) before and after what you typed in the address bar –I love shortcuts-, the other parts are history and favorites

Some features I noticed

InPrivate under Safety menu, prevents the browser from storing your browsing experience

There is more to check, but still I only use IE when I have to! We’ll see if IE8 changes that.

Lucy’s Wrath!

I came to my room and discovered something brown in front of my door.

WTF … who’s shit is this ???

It’s Lucy

What, she is a good girl, how come …

Then it hit me, I just gave her a bath that morning!

I guess she was pretty mad at me for giving her a bath and cats don’t like water ;)

Today, I took both pets to the vet and had them cut their hair a bit…

Lucy is angry and not responding to me ;P

She is sitting in my room, with her back to me. I’m coaxing her into forgiving whatever wrong I’ve done to her, because I don’t want any slimy surprises in front of my door :D

Below is her standing in front of the screen while I was playing Tomb Raider and kind of ignoring her. So the best thing was for her to stand in front of my eye sight!!! ’3asib 6eeb you notice me … hehehe, she’s like a kid seeking attention

When IT quarrel … just let them at it … back away and let the war begin!

You forget the issue, what was it??

Step aside, you really don’t want to understand the issue, because at some point all don’t make sense anymore :P

Who suggested the solution, who’s supposed to implement it

Are they still talking about the same problem ??

Most importantly who started all this!

Fashion Thoughts

Seeing the fashion way these days, is too disturbing. I believe in personal freedom, but when it crosses over to being personal stupidity, we need to draw the line here!

I guess most noticed the big head, I wondered if I stopped one of these girls and asked them what are they trying to convey with this “fashion statement”, perhaps the simple answer will be, it’s the fashion or the ever well known “انتي شكوا

I’m thinking if I ever, not in a million trillion years, decided to do that, it should at least satisfy one of these reasons:

  • I can use the head space as a compartment, like put my things, mobile, wallet, instead of carrying a handbag around
  • I can install a cooling system, that somehow cools my entire body in the summer, high points for this one ;)
  • Create a space for my hair to grow, like a green house, if this ever helps the sorry excuse of hair I have on my head to even get remotely better, then I’m up for it
  • It makes my body lighter, lifting me off the ground
  • I can use it as a weapon for self-protection purposes, true we ain’t living in Chicago ;P but at least we can say we found a way for women to protect themselves, head-to-toe literally
  • Going to theme parks and can’t get into rides because you are a tad shorter for the ride, then if I can use this head to add a bit of inches to my figure and get on, then I say go higher stuff more of whatever in that head and wrap tightly ;)

OK, supposedly if you cover yourself up then you are a “mit7ajba”, dear beloved ones, do you think if you wear stocking or for that matter leggings and wear shorts or a skirt that doesn’t go all the way to your ankles and add long boots and cover up your hair not forgetting to add the mini-mountain, then you are “mita7jba”, sorry but I don’t think so?? I don’t think it’ll make a difference if you just take the “7ijab” off and save us the agony of trying to explain this to others and continue defending the sanity of women!

I know it’s all about getting noticed and attention but I don’t think sane people will be looking at you and going WOW, or maybe it’s going to be a WOW but you don’t want to hear the rest!

Even boys these days, I can honestly say that he spends much more time in the saloon then girls do!

Relax people. No matter how much you tell yourself you’ve seen it all, you’ll be amazed what you can add to your horrific-fashion-stories if you go to malls in a crowded weekend night!!
