damn leopard

having upgraded to leopard this morning from tiger, it turns out that the software with my external hard drive is not compatible and so I can't access my external drive (mind you, I haven't been able to access my internal drive lately either). Now, after spending 3-4 frustrating hours this morning trying to remedy this situation, I gave up trying to fix what seems like the unfixable until Maxtor, now owned by Seagate, release a fix for this. They've known this for at least a month!!!! Why the fcuk can't these goddamn people coordinate everything. Why the frickin hell didn't they release the fix with the release of Leopard. Apple gave these companies the code to work with to enable those companies to provide their customers with the necessary fix to ensure that all systems would be operational once Leopard was installed...WHY THE FCUK CAN'T PEOPLE ORGANIZE THESE THINGS EFFICIENTLY!!!!

ah, that little word that makes my day harder and harder at work, is now creeping into the only time that I have where efficiency is always there...my time. it's bad enough living in a country which lacks "efficiency" without the freakin companies who produce products to ensure that my sanity is kept in check also demonstrate a complete lack of that small, tiny attribute. Now, I can't access the photos I've taken over the last couple of days of photographing scenes, birds and people and it's really frustrated me. I opted not to go into Apple Store today as I probably would have leapt over the counter if they told me there was nothing they could do and that would not be good. Instead, I will go there after work tomorrow night and see what happens. By that time, I might have calmed down or else taken it out on people at work...I love my job. Right now, a punching bag, an external hard drive compatible with Leopard and an efficient world within which to live would be most welcome.

I really can't write anymore. today's post has now finished. I bid you all, farewell.
