Working on Satuday: Whoring Against the Man

Here I am at work, fixing up some beater computers to donate to a Brooklyn Nonprofit.

Why? So I can be some kind of righteous prick, that's why. I'm helping a nonprofit that does charity work. I'm sure the judge will like it when I try to kill my paper, especially since this charity services a bunch of ex-drug addicts.

Also, I hate the thought of throwing away perfectly usable stuff, especially computers, because I spent so much of the 90's groveling, begging, and digging through trash to put together a computer for my own use. Hey! They were expensive back then, even if you DIDN'T want to play video games.

So, I'm being green, being a goody two-shoes, and even working a weekend to get it done. How far from the grace of being the despicable dope dealer have I gone? I might resemble someone who's truly reformed, but it's a pile of crap. I still don't regret hooking people up with quality LSD. I think it was the right thing to do. I don't recall too many people complaining, until I told them that I wasn't going to provide that service anymore. What can I say? Despite societal labels, I was pretty popular as a drug dealer. Lifestyle I miss. I make up for it these days by handing out candy at work. It's sad, but it is about the best I can do with what I got.

Can I describe to you in non-geek details what installing Windows XP is like on older machines? Imagine trying to drink oatmeal through a straw, that constantly crimps on itself, so it's not like you can do the whole suction-continuous flow trick that works so well for siphoning gas out of other people's tanks... er...

...not that I've ever done that, mind you.

Where was I? Oh yeah, oatmeal and crimping straw. So even though it says it will install in 45 minutes, since I have to babysit the fucker, and it's already running like a slug, it's more like an hour and a half. Disgusting. This is why I switched to Linux. That, and I'm a geek.

So, I'm not getting paid to do this by anyone in particular, so I've now decided I'm not whoring against the man, I'm slutting against the man. Take that, you four!
