Random Rants 0x52: [Obligatory rant about title]

[MaryKB]

Rant: I hate it when programs steal focus.

I really hate when that happens to me at work! I'm trying to do several things at once, so I'll start something up which will take a minute to load and process, and I switch to something else to try to take advantage of that time, but halfway through that other one jumps back up and takes over.

There used to be a little regedit hack that suppressed all focus-stealing, but it doesn't work in newer versions of Windows.

 

[Synobun]

It's a feature.

rant/rave : I feel like my peak efficiency is now , it's midnight here. I am a night owl. Sometimes I feel like I could achieve much more if I were at peak between 12 PM and 1 PM ...

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

A lot of times I get most of my writing done in the thirty minutes before midnight.

You can try something you can work from home.

I like writing.

I normally also work best in the evenings, but I'm anyways a night owl .

I usually do my best work before 10 am

 

[Takhisis]

I do, too. 8-12 hours before 10 a.m.

 

[JohannaK]

My peak efficiency is when I am at work, standing in front of a closed door or sitting at a desk waiting for something to come.

Boredom and the only company of a notebook are hella good for your writing.

Rant:Oh thats not good.

EDIT: I dont think its normal for skin to turn bumpy after taking ibuprofen. Maybe its just the cold or something. But thats weird.

I have this weird red splotchy thing on my face, and it seems to be getting bigger. I have this terrible fear that just as I'm finally able to appreciate my looks, they're going to slip away from me.

 

[Takhisis]

It's either a practical joke involving lipstick… or a pimple.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll (continue to) be fine

Just based on your description, if it's started suddenly and recently, I wonder if it's some kind of reaction to something? Did you eat or use something new, e.g. a new makeup brand/product?

Rant : We Night Owls had to stay up all night and watch the tribe while You Morning Birds slept snugly in Your tents ....

Windows 10 rant: Sometimes my laptop has sound, sometimes it doesn't - seems to depend upon how it feels!

 

[rah]

Maybe you're not supportive enough.

I bought a webcam for my computer ... it works, but with Skype it only does audio for some reason, I can't do video calls at all (I can't even receive peoples' video)
