So here we are on Wednesday. I called emailed in sick this morning. My JAW, my tongue, and my gums hurt plus I had sinus pressure pushing on that ear. This has been one of the worst dentist visits ever. I will save that story for when I get back from dinner. For now let’s talk about my technical difficulties.
Monday night Lappy started acting stupid. Threw some outlook error about a file being already in use. OH well. Tuesday morning I decide to sit at the Kitchen table and work a little while I wait on Kerry. Let’s close outlook. OK no that isnt’ working, lets ctrl-alt-delete and kill it the hard way, well that isn’t working either. Fuck it power off. There now you are responding. Then the OMG happens. A continual loop of rebooting and telling me how it was shut down wrong. OMG! The blue screen: Unmountable boot sector OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We take her to work and KLT runs a disk check using Bart PE. WOW, we can boot her up. Last night I spent the bulk of the evening moving data, backing up files and preparing for what comes next. Rebuild from the ground up. Lunch time today seems like a good time to start this endeavor. Re-partition the hard drive and we are off, this is just before 1:00 pm. It is now 5:15 and she is still stuck at 43% of the disk check. NOT GOOD EDNA! This is killing my posts and pictures of the day.
Today while being home sick the media center spontaneously rebooted. Yes it just went black and restarted. Since then when I come back to the office to work on the computer I hear the TV “stutter” and repeat the same line over and over. That’s not good either.
Oh those programmable thermostats save you a bunch of money but you have to remember to kill the program if you are going t be home when you aren’t suppose to be. So I wonder over to do this task this morning and the display flashes and is now in celsius. Right cause that’s easy enough. To change it back just hit these two buttons but it says WARNING: Doing so will erase all programs. WTF! How is that helpful? You switched with no effort and now you will erase everything for me to change it back?
And the last technical difficulty today. My mom called, the sewing machine place called her. WHY THE FUCK they did that is beyond me. I mean I called them and told them who I was, who was bringing it in and what was wrong with it. Besides they have all the info on file in their little computer. So it appears that there is nothing wrong with the machine. I guess there could of been enough shifting during transport to make things work right. But I promise I didn’t just have 1 issue and stop using it. I tried to rethread it, I tried to clean it, I tried everything twice. JERKS!
I have to go eat dinner with the kids, maybe tonight I can get the pictures of the day posted and the Dentist story.
