i use a 50MB animated gif I made in mspaint by enabling active desktop. This feature is only available in Windows 98 SE Plus!, so you gotta upgrade.

I have a p deece idea of what area you work in and I don't even live in Orlando, I'm out in the wilds of Polk County lol

I'm getting dragged to some fall festival thing at a catholic church in Altamonte Springs Saturday, thank God it's actually kind of chilly

I'm near enough to that area. Enjoy the unique food places central FL offers and avoid all chains.

We have a set corporate wallpaper with a little lock icon on it to "let you know it's a secure company asset" which is completely absurd because the lock is literally just part of the wallpaper and anybody could put that wallpaper (or the lock icon) on anything. I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to change it

fun fact: if you set your wallpaper to their gang tag you can sell your laptop to the latin kings

Windows 8.0 so I never see my desktop wallpaper, just that lovely Metro touchscreen menu on my non-touchscreen laptop.

and if it's a lie, terrorists made me say it
I'm self-employed now, but back when I worked at a call center I used to use the default Windows 98 wallpaper for my desktop. Every so often somebody would walk by and stare at it for a few seconds, as if seeing something was wrong with my desktop but not able to figure out what. It's so bland that your eyes don't register "oh why is that on a Windows XP computer?" for a while.

Wow I just looked this up and those are some awful character designs. Terrible early 90s style.

Mine is a stock "sky" wallpaper that I edited it to have Krusty's ghost on it. At the bottom it says "he lives in you".

applewhite is a great poster but never ever google something he mentions if you don't already know it

This is good advice in general, really.

It was a bunch of pikachus until a goon coworker changed it to this.



I left it alone because I kind of agree with it and it's nice to remind myself everyday when I boot up my computer that while I might have it hard, at least I'm not shmorky.
