In the past few days my computer at work has gone from bearable to down right POS.  It has always been on the slow side but on Friday it locked up and since it was almost time to go I just turned it off.  Monday morning was a nightmare because it started acting up as soon as I turned it back on.  To the point I told my boss I would work from home, and I’m pretty sure he considered – for a second.  🙂  It took almost an hour before it finally started working.

The rest of the week has been one lock up, freeze, and crash after another.  The plus side is once this would happen it would be okay for a while.  Well today was the final straw.  We were dealing with some issues from the system roll out last night and my boss was at my desk.  After about 10 minutes he called our office manager to find out where my new (refurb) computer was.

By lunch it had frozen a few more times, I may have kicked it a little during these times ;), and he called again.  FINALLY I was sitting there and the OM walks up with a new tower.  I just turned my computer off so he can hook up the new one.  YAY!!!!!

It took a few minutes to get acquainted with my new machine, and well it took quite a while to remember my damn IM passwords, but let me just say, I LOVE IT!  My computer had been soooo crappy for soooo long I’d forgotten what it was like to actually be able to work at my pace and not my computer’s pace.  Oh what a wonderful day!  That and March Madness started.  Hell yeah!
