izmeinaIckle Iz has just slinked out of the Google Owlery after sending off her precioussssss bag of beans into Cyberspace - just to be safe.
Now all we can hope for is that the computer terminals and printers in this part of the Ministry don't decide to crash any time before 4pm on Friday. The only reason Izzie isn't printing it right now is because she doesn't have enough silver sickles to print ten pages AND pay the bus fare at 6.30 tomorrow morning. Giving big fat gold galleon notes to bus drivers is not a behaviour conducive to extending one's life expectancy. And it is also pretty damned mean too. Iz sees it all the time. Folks do it thinking they are going to get a free ride because they know the driver will not have change for a 50 or 20 note.
Well - actually - it doesn't really matter if the printers are down here. That was the whole point of sending the damn thing and having two copies of both files - each with different names. That's the sort of paranoid deviousness that one develops after long experiences with Windoze.
Iz also learnt that the minute you send an owl - get out quick and log back in again or else you will have a most frustrating experience being tormented by "Sorry. Windoze has encountered a bug in the flour and must sift all systems to find it" Or something like the usual garbage.
Finally worked out that the onset of this annoying pop up is usually precipitated by sending evil viruses by email. MS seems to think that even a simple saga about some silly coffee roasting company and their incompetent purchasing department is a threat to national security and some sort of dangerous evil virus. But then again - maybe they are right. Iz did write it using MS Word after all. So go figure. Just as well we did not need to attach any JPG images. They would have gone ballistic.
Well. What a relief getting that distraction out of the way. A ridiculous amount of work for 20% of the subject marks. Izzie is hoping for a 15/20 but would be content with anything over 12. (Still got to keep that grade point average over 70 but it was such a strangely worded vague assignment that it is hard to know if the Iz even understood the questionses properly.
So next grand project is the stupid business ethics essay. Well - that should be almost fun after this thing. It is also worth 20% but at least does not require so much research. But it is just the excuse that the Izzie needs to go watch "The Corporation" all over again.
So what do the folks think of the new look LJ posts? Seems just like the ones they are using these days for comments.
