Translation: I was going to write this whole big blog post about the top 5 things you should NEVER do in a restaurant today, but my laptop attempted suicide earlier. The damn thing jumped right off my bed and landed on it's charging port, cracking it up to all hell. I can plug in the charger, but the screen tells me its plugged in but not charging. My laptop is three years old and has about a 5 minute lifespan without batteries, so maybe it was trying to find a way out. Perhaps I'm not as witty as I think I am, and it just couldn't take it anymore. In that event, I apologize to the PC I am currently using.
Anywho, I dropped the
lemon laptop off at a local company earlier today that was supposed to call me back with an estimate around 3. I am not by any means a patient person, but when I had still not heard back at 4:30 I called. Apparently the guy never came by the office to pick it up and have a look, so I won't know anything until tomorrow. I will twiddle my thumbs in a corner until then, waiting til I can compulsively check the status of my shops on the appropriately named "My Shops" facebook app, Chive full time, and generally find ways to procrastinate with my school work. It's hard knock life.
In the event my once expensive laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1525...a line that tried to put the 'p' in promising but ended up putting the 'p' closer to pathetic) is expensive to fix, I have found a new apple of my eye. A cheap
Gateway that rolls out the door for less than 400. And has Windows 7. And Office 2010. And a screen that is TWO inches larger than my current laptop.
The moral of the story: I guess I kind of hope little Inspiron is off running in greener pastures and has found peace...
...this is all too familiar.

You should build some kind of form for all those who bravely gave their lives for your cause :P
ReplyDeleteI probably should, but I don't even know where I would begin. Alphabetically, I suppose. haha
ReplyDeleteThe sarcasm is what makes this post great. The same thing happened to me a while back with my last computer. It was 4 years old and just decided that it wanted to be high maintenance, so I got a cheaper HP that works just fine! It's fun to shove it to technology, isn't it?
