ONE WEEK INTO THE NEW YEAR...
...AND I'VE ALREADY FOUND STUFF TO GRIPE ABOUT...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know it's improper to speak of Things Religious in such a blatant wrong-headed manner, but I can't help it...whenever I see those TV commercials for "Snuggies", a body-blanket-with-sleeves that's supposed to keep you warm during those long winter nights, or whenever I get an ad in my in-box with pictures of Actual People Wearing Snuggies, all of a sudden I hear Gregorian Chanting in the background...
Yeah, I know it's a practical idea, and those who wear these things probably do stay really, really warm. But I wouldn't be caught dead in one. I think they look really, really Creepy. A totally misguided Fashion Step Backwards. These things are Absolutely Hideous. In conclusion, if I wanted to look like a Monk, I'd join a monastery. You know, the place where Monks reside, who supply residents with Free "Snuggies".

Oh, great. Now that I've focused my attention on these "Snuggie" Monk-like garments, all of a sudden I'm hearing that old chant from the original Wizard Of Oz movie..."oh-EE-oh, OH-oh", over and over and over. Talk about being infected by the wrong earworm!

I'm just about ready to mutiny here; it's computer-related, and it's just happened to me for the three-millionth time. My computer got taken over again by Microsoft. Periodically (well, way more than Just Periodically) Microsoft wants me to download "important" updates. They always say I can keep working while the downloading is happening.
-
Then, I'm forced to have my machine automatically re-started so the download can take effect, so what the heck's the use to "keep working" when Microsoft commandeers my computer so I can't work? And you know, these Microsoft-forced Computer Shutdowns Really Tick Me Off. I absolutely HATE being interrupted. Maybe they should revise their logo thusly:

Oh, can't you tell this New Year is getting off to a Really Rosy Start?

every time I did it... it would tell me that did't have any updates...so after getting that for 20 times, I quit doing it. and hit cancel... and also the one that makes your screen go blank for a second and gives you another message.. I hit cancel thru them all...
So far my computer hasn't crashed because of something that didn't get updated.
Well, Cis, you're probably living dangerously...I do all the updates that MS throws at me, but I think it's rude and inconsiderate of them to shut down my computer when I'm in the middle of something. Sometimes, they've popped up a little box on my screen that says, "we will shut down your computer in "X" amount of minutes, and then a little countdown clock begins ticking off the seconds, and then I think, "aw, hell, I guess I might as well shut down now". It feels kinda like someone barging in when yer using the bathroom...that kind of 'invaded' feeling...
