View Full Version : Karma is a pain in the Pomme

So after about 8 weeks of being redundant, I started my new job today.
Not bad going as its the only one I applied for, so 100% hit rate.
Pride, however, comes before a fall, and Karma dealt me a cracker.
My company laptop is still to arrive, a rather nice Del XPS 14 Ultrabook, so I have been given the "spare" machine.
It has a glowing fruit on the lid...
So, first task of the day, install Bootcamp.
This has made my day.
Genuinely Awesome.

Congrats on the new job. As for the new computer, you love it really! Give it a week or so and you will join the converted, singing the praises of your most holy Steve Jobs and how he spread five dollars and a book token between seven thousand Chinese workers!
Keep smiling and get back to your lovely Linux machine very soon and not any of this Windows seven rubbish! ;-)

Good to know you are gainfully employed again, and enjoy the new machine when it arrives (even those of us that work here don't get them!).
And boy did I smile at the prospect of you being lumbered with a fruit-based product... Still giggling now in fact.

Eagerly awaits glowing review of some sort of cloudy bollox or whatever the fashion crowd are going on about these days.
Actually, cloudy, apple based... could be onto a winner there.

LOL unlucky mate, good luck with the new job.
Mac are horrible things especially in a work environment our I.T junior is forever on the web trying to sort out a whole mass of issues.
Why not install VMware as a short term solution ?

thats a bit like taking your 1000 cc supersport for a service and getting the above as a courtesy bike
HAHAHAHAHA congrats on the new job... I bet it is a bit like a vampire coming into contact with sunlight?
Karma can be a cruel master,
Or a welcomed liberator.
Harbinger of your most fearsome nightmares,
and yet at the same time carrier of your most wondrous dreams.
The horrible soul who ruined your existance,
or the kind hearted person who helped you when
you didn't realise they were there.
Karma, some say, is the sums of everything bad
or good you belive you committed to this reality.
Juxtaposing of everything dispiteful or pious you did.
But in this case I think she is a comedianne,
for there are quite a few of us laughing!
