You certainly wouldn't want to juggle messily with them, it could get painful.

That GPS unit we bought recently also has a glossy screen. You couldn't see a thing if you had the sun in your face, or rather, you could see your face... Thank god for anti-glare foils!

Yeah, they are a life saver. I'd love to put one on my laptop, but the only ones I can find double as privacy screens (which wouldn't be a problem if these didn't darken the screen).

Good! I'm glad! I took me the whole morning to actually understand what the company I w*** at does, and the whole training last 6 months, and I have to learn insurance and medical lingo, so for now I'm lost and overwhelmed, but I think I landed in a good place, and things there should get really good soon.

On a completely unrelated note, I just saw this and had to share:

It took me much longer than that to understand what where I work does! And that's with them giving staff a booklet so they could explain what the company did! (With things like"what you might say if you are asked in the pub")

Awwww da cute liddle itty bitty kitty!

Those corporate environments can really get to you. A couple years ago I was a supervisor in a call center that collected data to do tv and radio ratings. They had us follow training after training in new personnel management techniques, where we would have to categorize each of your team mates according to fixed criterias, and then only address them with the vocabulary suggested for their "type" of personality. I couldn't deal with it, even more considering they changed the official cie method at least twice a year!
All of this to say: I like fixed, basic and traditional titles and work environments, so I need to understand what I do, and why I do it.

Urgh - sounds like a nightmare!

One of the best things about working in an IT dept is that most IT staff don't take that sort of thing seriously

I'm usually the one asking the awkward questions on courses - things like "but what if the person you're trying to use this technique on also knows about it?"
