Have you ever done something 'differently' so that it took longer, yet of course you were still working ? :eek2: ;)

I do things quickly so I can have more time to screw around on the company's dime.

Usually the machines I need to work on (on my own time) are older and already take ages to do anything, so any time saved is more time spent with my family for me.

Defragging a drive is usually the last step I take on a Pentium MMX166 so that I don't have to suffer through it anymore. http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

Maybe I should get a version of DisKeeper that would work on that hardware...

Had a company engineer call me once on a Saturday whining about not seeing the task bar on his new Win98 machine. I dislike this guy and since he was calling me long distance on my saturday I made him stay on the line while I had him reload windows (snicker :devil: ). After he was done and in near tears because no one could fix his his machine including his wifes' friends at the University of Washington, I asked him to put his cursor down there to the bottom of his screen tell me what happened and for him to drag it up. Boy was he pissed at my laughter. I could have done this the short way, but having him pay the phone bill and making the moron fell like one was worth every second.

You might be quicker defragging it on your system before reinstaling it?

I try to make things take longer but by nature I do stuff as fast as I can, so I always do twice as much as the coworker and sit on my rump posting about band camp 5 times as much.

Everything I try to do on the cheap takes longer. I'm currently waiting for a friend to upgrade so I can have his old CPU in order to test a machine hit by lightning. The current CPU has a bubble on it but I don't know if only the CPU is fried or if everything else is fried too. ..and I"m too cheap to spend $53 on a CPU just to test it.

Want to waste some time install SpyHunter http://http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/03289/231446.stm



Two weeks ago, I wrote about spyware software, having uncovered a company, Enigma Software, that is using pop- up advertising to deceive users into installing its SpyHunter software. Apparently, the company's deception has caught a number of readers. Here are the stories from two of them:
