Does not compute

Many years back the company recognition reward points could be used to get Amazon voucher.

And since I was still going on business trips to the States back then, bought many books and board games using the recognition points.

Good old time.

Now, Amazon is no longer listed in the reward list and I no longer go on business trip to the States.

Actually, I no longer go on business trip. Period.

So when I found out that I can use the recognition points to purchase the graphics card the company produces through the employee purchase program, I jumped straight in.

The free shipping is icing on the cake.

The lounge computer has quit, I haven't had time to look at it and see if it can be resurrected. I have been working through the weekend, and last two days I worked till 03:00 hours and 02:00 hours respectively.

Not very keen on repairing the lounge computer though, primarily because it's an aging computer that cannot support Windows 11 as is, and Windows 10 support is ending soon. Plus it is not worth the upgrade to make it Windows 11 ready.

Also because the main users, the kids, do not take care of it and installed just about whatever they want. Last time it died I walked the kids through the debug process and brought it back up.

Now they break it again and just twiddle their thumbs. So since I am working overtime like no tomorrow anyway, they can continue to twiddle their thumbs.

Bought a new desktop instead, but it has not arrived. The graphics card is for this new computer.

The international shipment for the graphics card incurred a tax. The tax is MYR61, the courier service charge for handling the tax is MYR50.

Ya, bollocks!
