The Good: In coordination with the new contract (the nine-figure one, the one that is keeping me away from Boomershoot), my employer and the Muni have agreed on a dispatch program. This program only works in Firefox. Our IT guy came in and loaded up said browser on all the office PCs last night. I now get to use a more civilized browser and loaded up all of my favorites into Firefox and got on with my job.
The Bad: Monday night is when our productivity numbers from the previous week get uploaded into the corporate server, via the corporate intraweb, for National to review. This is one of the first things I do when I log in for the evening on Mondays (mostly to get it out of the way).
The Ugly: Our corporate intraweb does not function in Firefox. This was only discovered after I spent 30 minutes trying to stuff a square peg into a round hole and barking words my mother would not approve of to deduce that maybe I should try Explorer.
So, how badly did your Monday suck?
Two words: gout attack.
Seem to be getting over it, though, and I spent several hours yesterday calculating the cost of accessories to turn my M-14 into a true long-range battlefield-control rifle (which I will try out at Boomershoot).
If you have to use stuff that only works in IE, get the IE Tab for Firefox, I use it on occasion rather than opening IE.
Sometimes I feel like a nursery school teacher. s*i*g*h
Try IE Tab with Firefox, it works for me, checking work email at home/on the road.
