Time's a wasting

I'm parking off here doing sweet nothing. It's partially my fault, since I didn't check the HDD size of the machine I was given. The harddrive is a whopping 3 gigabytes big. So, after installing the various development programs I need, I received a delightful pop-up bubble in the bottom-right corner of my screen, further emphasized by the lovely beep that Windows XP let out.

To sum up the message it conveyed, it basically stated I had 170 megs left free on my C: drive. I blinked, I sighed, I got upset. These machines were rentals, and were supposed to have at least 10 gigabytes of disk space on them. I can't even install a second hdd, since there isn't a molex connector for it.

So, being a true visionary, I sail my ROFLyacht into the uncharted waters of the Engineering department, looking for a molex power connector splitter. I turn to the one engineer, and ask him if he has a molex power splitter. "Molex, what's that?"

"A power connector. You know, like those you get on PSU's.", I replied.

"Oh, you mean those. No, we don't have any."

I'm sitting here, doing fuckall, because I can't read my website design spec. I can't read it, because I don't know what the headings are. I don't know what the headings are, because the design spec uses Word Art. The reason I can't view Word Art, is because I don't have enough HDD space to install MS Office!
