So last night I began to have the infamous power supply cord problems with my laptop again. I figured I could make it a couple more days while Dell shipped a new one to me. Hell, I was willing to pay for it again. No. It died completely tonight. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Dell, and discovered that while the desktop will connect to the Internet, it won't actually load any webpages.

[kicks more things]

I was really not in the mood to deal with something like this tonight. In an attempt to get the desktop working again, I'm cleaning everything off of it and reformatting it. Here's to hoping.

The power supply cord should be here sometime around Wednesday evening or Thursday morning according to the Dell man who incidentally was not named Steven.* I guess it's not terrible timing. I have a shitload of homework and I could use the time that I would normally be on the internet actually doing homework. Or I could blow it off like I did tonight to make copies of my mp3s. I have almost 2000. I wasn't losing them to the horrors of reformatting.

Fuck it. I'm going back upstairs to lie in bed and read Beowulf. I actually like Beowulf.

Oh yes. And as I just went to go look at my friends list, I forgot about the Making the Video for LILY. Now I'm even angrier. And I'm not reading my friends page. Everyone sucks. I suck. Dell sucks. My shitty memory sucks.

[kicks everything in sight]


*My boss has a theory that every guy who answers phones for Dell calls himself Steven.

I don't know. It's a good story first off, but when you read it and really concentrate on it, the language is pretty. It's got a nice flow to it and it's oddly comforting. At least to me.

[shrugs]

But I'm really weird. :)

Thank you. I'll have to check the MTV schedule cause I missed it again. Meh.

[deep breath]

It's MTV. They show everything 8 million times.

you and yr boss are probably right bout that Steven thing. a lot of companies tell their operators that they should tell callers a specific name. boys are Steven and girls are Jane, that kinda thing. it's for consistancy. although it seems like it would backfire if you call to complain about Steven (who is really Ed) and then Steven (who is really Billy) answers, but you think it's the Steven you want to complain about and then rail into him.

i'm tired.
