ever so slightly pissed off  
Okay both my computer in the house and my laptop are kinda state of the art, best I could afford type things. My work PC is not.

But seriously, taken two minutes fromt he time I hit the power switch to give me the log in prompt and then seven minutes and 25 seconds to actually log me in?

What a piece of gosa!

Oh, and they're working on the Outlook server which means I can't get to my emails for another half hour which means I can't actually do any work anyway....

ETA and my fun 'automatic updates' I get on this machine every freaking day just prompted a restart. I've been in this office since 8:05. It's now almost 8:45 and I'm only just able to actually start any work.

2nd Edit So apparently it was Firefox that was causing the problem, well not so much the programme itself but where the network was storing the cache. It's now fixed and I can carry on using Firefox. We'll see how long it takes to log in tomorrow though...

Morning!

Had the same problem. It got a bit better when I deleted my cookies. Something to do with the time it takes to get all the little files. Fast PC would help to :: grins ::

Thought that might have had somethign to do with it yesterday so I cleared out my cache and cookies before I logged off last night. The guys up in IT are apparently looking at it right now so you never know, it might get fixed.

Hehe - as I was typing this they phoned and accused Firefox of causing the problem! Yeah right!

I get that automatic update prompt as well. Hate it! It give me the option to delay the update by 24 hours. SO I select that and it pops up again 33 minutes later.

It just drives me completely scatty! Every single day there's another update - thankfully not all of them require a restart but enough of them do that it's more than a little annoying.

And what's worse is whilst other people in the department do get these updates, theirs are all weekly at the most frequent...

Gah!
