I didn’t even turn my computer on today until almost 3pm. I was running from meeting, to meeting, to library, to class…and when I finally got to sit down, read the email, and start doing work, my computer screen flickered…and then half froze.
I can’t even describe what happened, but needless to say, the screen is most likely fucked. I called Gateway, and they nicely informed me that I am no longer under warranty, and they can’t help. Bullshit! As I told the guy, I bought more than a 1 year warranty. I’m a full time student, and there’s no way I was stupid enough to buy only one year of a warranty knowing I’d be in school full time.
I’ll have to go hunt through the basement to find the box with the receipt. Because I totally have time for that.
The good news is, my tech god and friend Brian is going to save my ass in a major way. I ordered a new screen tonight, and because he is my tech God, he can replace it for me and pretty much save me a few hundred dollars. Take that, Gateway! For this, I love Brian. I hope each and every one of you has a Brian in your life.
But for now…I have 5 chapters to read tonight, because I’m now behind because in addition to this joy, when I got home, we had no internet or phone. And after a promise of a tech coming out tonight to fix it, they called at 9:30 to tell us sorry, it’ll be tomorrow. Thankfully, the internet fixed itself. I didn’t tell the cable company that though. They got the bitchy attitude, and I made them reschedule for tomorrow night. I don’t care if the internet still works tomorrow night, they can haul their asses out here.
I’m so crabby.
If I haven’t loved on your blog in a few days, I promise, as soon as my technical issues get resolved, I’ll be back. I’m doing my best for now. Please don’t give up on me!





Aww. Hope your tech woes go away. Yeah Brians are cool.
Is your Brian cute?

Yes, of course Brian is cute. And if you’re cute too, you can reach me at area code 205- … hang on a sec …
*muffled conversation*
*sharp sound of a smack*
*yelling and stomping away*
… It has recently come to my attention that my wife still reads this blog. So in that light, no, Brian is not cute anymore. Especially with this welt under my eye …

Ah, my husband knows me SO well!
And yes, he’s cute. But he’s taken.

Don’t worry Brian and Elizabeth. I already sent her the naked pictures so she could judge for herself…
Oh…wait…I wasn’t supposed to bring those up, was I?

Computer troubles are the worst kind of troubles. Hope you are back to good soon if not already.

I’m not giving up on you
As always, I’ve got good stories to tell on there.
I do have a “Brian” in my life… but unfortunately he’s a procrastinator… and he’s had my laptop almost a week… and I’m having trouble breathing… lol
