I signed the new contract today. The pay is laughable, but at least the job is somewhat interesting. And being unemployed in Finland would be far too mainstream for a cool underground dude like me. (it's sarcasm, folks)

What really pisses me off are the "technical difficulties" I have been experiencing all day. The network adapter seems to be having huge problems keeping the connection enabled, and the exact cause (as well as the cure) remains unknown. Furthermore, the CD-RW drive is also ceased to function.
After hours of tweaking, installing, uninstalling and rebooting, I'm ready to throw Windows 2000 into a deep lake or something. And this comes from a guy who usually doesn't spend his time whining about Bill Gates and the evil "M$" empire.

Oh well... It's just one of those days, I guess.
At least I get to finally watch The Abyss special edition DVD when I get home.

There's no end to the hardware problems. My DVD-ROM drive had trouble with the Abyss DVD, so I decided to finally get a firmware upgrade for it.

I'm sure you can guess what happened.

Yep, the drive is dead. I think it is now safe to say the current day sucks ass.
