the reboot

So, my basic opinion could be summed up by this, but to put it simply:

- I'm a Spiderman fan.
- 2 sets of often-contradictory comic book universes, 3 movies, and at least 1 animated series.

- I'm a Superman fan.
- Lots of comics, several movies - including the movies that ignore those other movies - and at least 3 tv shows.

- I'm a Miss Marple fan.
- 1 set of books, and about 6 different tv adaptions, plus several plays.

- I'm a fanfic writer.
- (Duh.)

I'm used to seeing take after take on stories, seeing tales that contradict each other, and reinterpretations of characters by director after director.
This movie? Sounds interesting.

conversation with IT guy:

IT guy: "Hi, what can I do for you?"

Me: "Yeah, hi. My browser needs to be upgraded."

IT guy: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Me: "My... browser? It... um... needs upgrading. I need a better browser."

IT guy: "Really? Why?"

Me: "Because this one is old and doesn't work?" *is getting confused*

IT guy: "Oh, so you want a new one?"

Me: "Yes please! ...any chance I could get Firefox instead of Internet Explorer?"

IT guy: "Hmm. I'll have to get approval from your manager."



So...
1) Why else would I want a new browser? ("Because I'm trying to collect all ten so I can win a prize!" ???)
2) You're working in IT, and you don't know what I mean by "upgrading a browser"? Really?
3) My manager has to approve me using Firefox? WTF?


These people confuse me.
