     Because each update takes longer than 20 minutes, it's obsolete upon
          finishing, so more updates—welcome to the update treadmill

Day two of updates on a day filled with twos.

No, seriously. I'm still updating software on Belial, the annoying Mac Laptop
[1]. This time the rest of the Microsoft suite of programs. That took an
additional half day to finish (party because there was a lot to download, and
party because the Microsoft update program would spazz out and stop
downloading at random), but in the meantime, I can use the laptop to attend
meetings (sigh). On the plus side, one day closer to Satan, the useless
Windows Laptop [2] being sent back from whence it came.

I also got the laptop on both the Corporate Overlords' VPN (Virtual Private
Network) (the entire reason for the useless Windows laptop) and the Corporate
VPN. Of course, you can't be on both at the same time. And of course, the
Corporate VPN isn't in the list of default VPNs on the software being used,
so I have to type in the server every time I want to use the Corporate VPN,
which is daily. It's not like The Corporation is a second class citizen in
our Corporate Overlords' eyes or anything. No, not at all.

Sigh.
