I can't get any work done at work... The potatoe they gave me for a laptop is 5 years old, Every day I was approx 2 hours (no joke) for it to power up, open up my visual studio solutions, connect to the VPN, and open my browsers.

Then my fucking shit computer loses connectivity with one of my 2 monitors every 15 min so I need close the lid, reopen it again so it "picks up the monitor" then wait another 5 min for my windows to respond.

Agh!!!!!

It's frustrating too cuz my boss ordered me a new computer 2 months ago. But cuz I work for corporate bozos it took them 2 months just to process/place the order for a new computer. So now I have to wait even longer just to have a functioning computer.

    Been there already, once I had to "fix" my GPU , its fan just broke and was overheating ... no replacement was approved so I just "hacked" it with a CPU fan and it worked for a year till I quit that wonderful job :)

    @juzles ya... It gets worse when you open up MSSMS and any other instance of anything lol.

    I've gotten error messages before when I press "ctrl + alt + delete" where the computer says: "cannot process your ctrl + alt + delete request, please try pressing the power button..."

    It's really absurd. The only thing I can do is laugh at this point.

    There is no worse productivity killer than a slow computer.

    Slow computer and a fast Internet is the worst!

    (3.15PM: Build started... Let me browse something while the build completes; 4.30PM: Oh shit, the build... Oh no, it failed with an error... Fix, rebuild... Let me browse something while....)

    that's why I had to buy a second laptop to get work done. I figure it's a tool of a job.
