The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Can you listen to your iPod while doing it? I have had similar jobs and it was tolerable as long as I had something to listen to.

Fortunately yes, and it does help a lot. Still pretty god-awful though. A lot of it has to do with the program I have to use to enter the data, which has almost no controls and literally makes it take at least five times as long to do as it otherwise would if the people who designed it had half a brain.
 
Do you have to press tab to get to the next box to enter things in? Is there literally no GUI to speak of? Does selecting things requires you to type an "x" on top of an underscore in front of them? If no to these things it's not as bad as the system we use at Walgreens to keep track of stock.

Yeah, you may have me there.

It's just that, considering that what I'm using is a GUI, this thing is abominably primitive (for the part of the program I was using, anyway). You can only select one entry at a time, you can't copy and paste, you can't import or export. And in the case of what I was entering - a gigantic tree structure of categories - it actually collapses the entire tree every time you make an entry. So goddamn stupid.
 
Some dude from my school just used my computer and said weird crap to everyone I was talking to on MSN.
 
He didn't jack it. I got up for a second to throw something away and I didn't think he would come into the room.
 
Just got my bass set up by a good friend and mutual rival in the music scene. Talked tech with the employees at Guitar Center while I played a setup similar to my future setup. My friend straightened up my neck, cleaned and oiled my bass, put new strings on, cleaned up my electronics cavity, lowered my action... It sounds perfect now. Warm and growly. Just the way it should.

Interestingly enough, he brought up that he thinks my fingerstyle technique is better than his own. He plays slap much better than I do and more technical shit, so hearing appreciation for my own technique from such an accomplished musician was really something.
 
I wish when I had someone on ignore, the forum completely removed their posts from view for me, as if nothing had ever been posted. Seeing "This message is hidden because blahblah is on your ignore list" is annoying.
