I completely feel your pain. At my last job, my computer was as old as the hills and they'd continually put band-aids on instead of getting me a new pc. I went through the same routine as you in the morning! I recently quit and started a new job, but at my exit interview I mentioned how annoying and unproductive it was to have such a crappy computer. Our HR director was shocked to hear how long it took me just to boot up in the morning. I recently heard that my former boss was going around after I left, asking people if their computers were working okay and if they needed any new equipment/hardware to do their jobs effectively! So - it may have been too late for me but hopefully I helped improve a couple of other people's work lives! Gah! I completely feel your pain.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time with the computer, you wrote your story so well though. IT departments can be so hard to deal with...the company I worked for outsourced, so I'd be calling India for help with my computer! BOO!

I think twiddling my thumbs between tasks is a waste of time. But IT departments never seem to share that view, huh?

I compare my computer to my boss... neither can multi task. It takes me a good 30 min to get my computer to where I want it and have to keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't freeze on me while I am working... I always thought working for an Engineering company they would have top of the technology but I am learning most people at work prefer to have ONE program open at one time... so I am a minority. I was told by IT that maybe I am the problem and not the comp... hmmmm This hits home… I compare my computer to my boss… neither can multi task.
