It is very important to see what pograms one is involved with at all times. Without a close watch on ones pograms they can spiral out of control.

No need to apologize. I am not a good topic for conversation at the moment.

If you don't have XP, you can also use a free program called WinVNC to accomplish the same goal. I'd be happy to walk you through setting it up if you like.

Yes, you do need to leave a PC on all day, but if you turn off the monitor and don't use a fancy 3d screen saver (which keeps the CPU busy) then it takes very little juice to run a modern PC, unless of course you have a cheeseburger model...

Using a separate laptop can be, how shall we put this, conspicuous. Whereas a remote desktop is gone with a click.

Well, I have XP ... just not XP Pro. And yeah, I'd be interested in trying this out .... just to thwart the muthafukas at work who are suddenly being so petty with me ... cutting off my LoT access after years and years of free reign.


Bastards!!!





oh, ahem, i'm fine .... really.

Only problem with VNC is the download of the software, and the brows it may raise for being installed when it shouldn't be.

...and it would of course be silly of me to point out that remote access works on apple computers...

chin up, Leo! You've got to bring the thread back...

I'm thinking someone needs to give me a primer on remote access

I had a thought. Leo has mentioned he has less time with the kids since he no longer works at home. I hate the idea that he's chopping into what little time he has by being here instead of with them.

You know we love you but your family needs you more than we do...but of course you knew that already and are going to be able to balance things well. :)

Hang in there at the new job. If the first day wasn't over your head then the job wouldn't be challenging enough to keep your attention.

I feel it.
When I got hired for my job, my boss really wanted me in her office. She'd worked with me before, I'd been her admin aide, she wanted me back.

That first week, month.... I agree.
How totally useless can one person feel you know?
And the worst part?

It comes back to haunt me all the time.
I feel your pain. The only good thing I have to say? There will come a moment, when for that instant, YOU will know the answer, and they wont.

Chin up. Hugs to you and your family. It'll get better.

I won't be on nearly as much because of that. It will be now only early in the a.m. prior to their awakening and late in the evening after the kids are in bed.

Sigh.

However, today I was only severly depressed after work, rather than suicidal and despondent. Even small improvements are important.
