Christmas in June

June 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

We find our royal selves immensely amused Tuesday..

As anyone with a brain can attest, I am a relatively new Apple computer fan.  When I started my new job, the systems admin stopped by the first day in my temp office and said “whatcha need?”  I jokingly responded that “Hey, if you’re granting wishes, I’d love a mac laptop”.  Now…  No system admin has ever taken me seriously — even when I used to be one.

Enter Tuesday afternoon.  Robin (same guy) walks in with a couple of non-descript boxes and says “Merry Christmas”.  Lo and behold, the contents of said boxes contain one Mac Pro laptop and a copy of Office 2008.

Needless to say I was simply giddy and while I had other work to do, you can bet that I stayed the whole night configuring the new baby for work-like activities..  The next day, the scavengers — who for all imaging purposes appear like those little fish that suck algae off of bigger fish — quickly found the lonely, unloved Windows box sitting in the hallway.

Love this company. Love my job.  Love, love, love the Mac.  Can’t wait for the iPhone.
