I just watched a guy who looked quite a bit like Mickey Rourke get hired as a part time cook at Ludovico's in Haddonfield.

They had these when I worked for BoA, I joined the women in the workplace one, they can't not let you join them, and there were plenty of other guys, I got to have 1x1s with really senior company people and made some significant contacts in the group that I maintain today.

So I have this friend who got a bunch of electrical work done in his house over the summer. He still hasn't gotten a bill. That's weird, right?
Fine. You wanna act like you're two? I'll act like I'm one.

Actually it's a lot better than Windows 8. The god-awful Metro Start screen or whatever they called it is gone (well, sort of, the god-awful Metro is still there but it's in a Start menu now, so it doesn't take up the whole screen anymore and there's a sort-of familiar list of applications again). The native apps no longer are full-screen only. Everything seems pretty snappy in general.

The biggest issue that I have is that in terms of user interface on a desktop PC I still cannot find any meaningful improvement over Windows 7.

I've been using Microsoft Edge, the new replacement for Internet Explorer, and so far I like it. It seems to be marginally faster at loading pages than Chrome.

My computer has spontaneously rebooted itself several times since the upgrade, so there's that

was it a big outfit or a mom-n-pop type outfit? The former- yeah, weird. the latter- not atypical, and depending on how you feel about them the cool thing may be to call and say "yo, send me a bill". not uncommon for them to be much better tradespeople than businesspeople.

Once, yeah. I got the Windows 10 version of the BSOD, followed by a reboot. It took something like 15 minutes before it rebooted too. The other times it happened overnight but it's still annoying.
