| | My computer has gone KABLOW!!!! At least, that's the sound I like to think it made when it decided to up and go to hell on me. Got it in to some fix-it type people here in Seward (oh yeah, I moved in with my aunt and uncle to finish school, didn't I mention that?) and I guess the "main board" is shot all to crap and it's going to cost me probably as much to fix it as it cost to buy it.
Oh, and when did I buy it? Just over a year ago at Best Buy in Grand Island...March 07. And the warranty was only for a year.
So if Best Buy was a house that had a front door step, I would so be launching a great big flaming sack of POO on it right about now. It was supposed to be the coolest and bestest new computer on the market and blah blah blah special features, and I bought the hype hook, line, and expensive-as-hell sinker, and now I'm out a computer and have no idea what to do.
At the Seward library right now, surrounded by nosey 8 year olds who think it's totally fine and dandy to be peeking their noses in on my internet business. Yes, that is bitterness you're hearing in my tone. I've got a bit of it at the moment.
On a better note, I went from having no job to having TWO jobs. I started as a clerk at the grocery store (whoopie) Monday, and yesterday was informed that I got a position as Community Support Professional, working with the mildly handicapped, at this place called Region V Services. It pays a good dollar and a half more than I've ever made before, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'll be juggling both jobs and school for as long as possible, trying to get caught up on bills because not having a job leeches the life right out of ya.
Now the irritating 8 year olds are making obnoxious slurping sounds. Note to self: never procreate.
I'm going to go now...back to my life with the 60 year olds, which isn't nearly as bad as it sounds, I swear. Time to plan a funeral for my computer...
