No Loafing!

[azurelunatic]

I am officially "loafing", and not on the clock. I had
to clarify this, because there were questions as I did
not appear to be working.

Loafing is reasonably OK, as I am not even pretending
to work. Getting computer fixed. I hope. I am online
with Dell Chat, whee. I plan to amuse myself with the
chat logs.

computer to chat with me?
1:59:02 PMYouYes. I am using a computer at work.
1:59:35 PMYouThey asked me what I was doing here; I
said I was loafing and not on the clock. ;)
1:59:54 PMYouThey said OK because it's my day off.
2:00:59 PMNishant_01120928I see:-)

WTF? HD on Inspiron 1000 is not a customer-replacable
part? I'll be getting a second opinion on that, d00d!

Steps to test the blamed thing. Lo, I am fucking
boooored. I await them with great waiting-ness.
...ah. Steps. Oi.

OK, I will be doing this. Once Turbo gives the system
back. And I will be attempting to make it run
scandisk.

Stressy College Chick thinks MySpace is for losers,
because it's only for teenagers. She says that
everyone at work who is on MySpace is a loser, except
for her friend who corresponds with her kids. Because
it's for teenagers!

I say that it's all about how you're using MySpace. If
you're an adult and using it to act like a teenager?
Then yeah, you might want to grow up. But if you're
taking it and using it in a mature fashion,
communicating with friends and having fun and avoiding
drama like a mature person, then it's just like an
adult maturely using any other teen-dominated method
of communication.

MySpace is big with musicians and artists because they can network and share their work.

I run into people who think LJ is for angsty teens, and I get confused... until I remember that I just occupy an odd little pocket of non-stupid and do not run into Those Types.

Many things on the internet are associated with the Stupid and with kids... not because they are even necessarily the main users - it is just that young and stupid both tend to be LOUD.

I have been known to avoid the angstful teen type. I was one myself until all too recently. Hooray maturity. Hooray the kind of maturity that does not find blowing bubbles and crawling under tables and singing in public Too Childish, because what's the point of being a grown-up if you can't have fun?

Ponytail Dave manages the MySpace accounts of three different bands of his friends. I haven't had the opportunity to hear any of them, but I probably will at some point.

IMHO, the biggest problems with MySpace have nothing to do with who uses it; rather, MySpace the website itself is badly designed, poorly implemented, and buggy as all hell. Also, it gives writers the ability to play music when their page loads, a 100% no-no. Again, IMHO.

It makes it a lot harder to surf stealthily at work, that's for sure. I giggle every time a co-worker loads a MySpace page and gets blasted with sound.
