i mean, i was the unnofficial (fuck it i have a cold) IT guy at this one accounting firm. i was running XP because our work softwware ran better on XP. As everyone’s boxes breoke, they got vista (fuck vista) and then 7. I was still running XP. finally i just asked my boss for a 7 box because i was running it at home. he said i was still running xp because i had kept it going so long and they all had a bet to see how long i could do it. kind of like a death pool. since i’d outlasted it by an operating system (they were expecting sometime during vista) i could get myself the fanciest rig i wanted. i asked him if he’d buy me an extra monitor for here and home, and since i’d saved him so much money on hardware upgrades he said yes. i fucking loved that job.
