I think with limited accounts you need to sign on as the admin, and modify the limited account from your account. I'm pretty sure that the system was designed with parent/child and employer/employee relationships in mind, so that's why it works in such a ridiculous way.
I haven't yet been subjected to bosses of any kind, but I have been subjected to evil teachers who seem to believe that their class is the only one that matters. It's annoying.
I'll be subjected to bosses this summer, but I may just get lucky. *hopeful*

I really hope you do. An awful boss is a terrible thing, especially when he lives just on the other side of the parking lot. I strongly suspect he was watching my house last night and waited for the lights to go on before he called.

Oh man... my boss lived about a half-mile away but was waaaaaay out of sight. I would feel like I was always being watched in your case, especially if it's your boss/teacher/parent or something!
Ughhh sorry about that, that's just creepy.

*deciding to change the subject entirely*((Sorry if it's a bit abrupt )) So I know Poofie plays the flute. What other musicians do we have here? I play: Keyboards (Piano, Organ, Harpsichord); Recorders (Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, I can play Bass, although I don't have one); Flute (and Piccolo, although I don't own one yet.); Violin; Contrabass (the stand-up bowed one, also called double Bass); a bit of Clarinet; a bit of Guitar; Panpipes, and Percussion.

Whooooaaa. I'm definitely outdone here too. For me it's flute, singing lazily, and pen caps. I know Haruo's a former band geek, but I'll wait for her to show up to speak for herself.

Aw come on, Venom. Most people can sing or whistle, and anyone who really wants to can learn drums. It's a matter of wanting to do it, more than anything.

Well I can whistle, but I guess that does make sense. I've never actually really tried. I guess it doesn't really hold much interest in me.

Well, I just happen to be one of those people who sees/hears an instrument and DESPERATELY HAS to learn how to play. That's my "secret of success." There is a HUGE downside, though. I'm self-taught on most of the instruments, and because I'm into so many, I can't afford lessons or decent examples of the instruments.

Which instrument do you think you're best at out of the lot, Pipe Organ? I'm curious as to which one you put the most time into.

Flute is my best. I've studied piano the longest, but a few years of slacking off and the past few months of hand injury have really taken a toll. Unfortunately, I haven't put a whole lot of time into the flute lately, so my voice could be my best at the moment. I'm not all that thrilled with singing. I belong to a semi-professional choir, but I've never really thought of myself as a singer. Recorders are still in pretty good shape, though. Aside from what I do for my job, that's about the only other instrument I HAVE to put time into. I desperately need to develop a regular practice schedule, though. I learned the hard way that music is definitely a "use it or lose it" pastime. Woohooo! There's enough money in the ministry special funds that I can spring on a pair of used timpani for the church! I get to pick them up next Monday! They'll need some parts and work, but it's still a great deal! Woot!!

Yeah, I can sing, but usually I'm too lazy to stay on key. It's sad knowing that you CAN sing well and yet usually don't. ^^;
And you're right, music is a use it or loose it endeavor. I'm afraid to find out how much I've regressed in the past four months of not playing. *shudder*
Timpanis are cool. Congrats on the community purchase!

With the singing, I've always known singers who think they're "all that", and I just never wanted to be associated with that. It's been about three months for me and the flute. My jaw and shoulder are going to hurt for a bit when I get back into it. I get the timps Monday!!! Very excited!!

My mom's a pretty good singer, but she doesn't have an ego like that. The closest she comes to that is being annoyed by those who either rely on chest voice or sing overly formally, and she's kind of passed those pet peeves on to me, albeit not as strong.
Yeah, the base of my left index finger and my right pinky are going to suffer, I'm sure.
Awesome! ^_^ I can see why. Timpanis have a really nice sound.

I dislike singing entirely, I couldn't even do it alone without feeling like a dork. I have trouble seeing myself or even listening to my own voice (in a format that's not me), don't ask me why.
I don't know what a "Timpanis" is, but it sounds interesting that you're getting a new instrument! What do they sound like?
