5 Days of Waiting
So, Eric today on the phone told me that there was a piece in the motherboard chipset that was fried, and that’s what he figures the problem is with my computer. He said he has to send it back to Asus to see if it’s covered by the warranty.
I said, “it better be covered by the warranty” since the computer was only about 3 months old and I didn’t give a flying farg what was wrong with it, that as far as I was concerned, I already paid for a working computer and I expected to have a working computer.
He said it was gonna take about 5 days for me to get my computer back – they’ll either repair the chipset or replace the board. But now I don’t trust the board. I feel that it’s defective if it caused the chipset to fry and I don’t think I’ll trust any “replacement parts”.
I said he should just replace the board right now and he could get the new motherboard back and sell it to someone else and then it wouldn’t take 5 STINKING DAYS for me to have a computer. Oh no, something about the serial number means that we couldn’t just put a new one in now.
He mentioned something about whether the hard drive was ok and I asked him if he had checked it with another motherboard. He had not. I asked him to check the hard drive tomorrow to see if everything was there and readable, cuz if it’s not, WTF am I waiting for a repaired motherboard for? Then it doesn’t matter what motherboard or hard drive is there.
Everything just pisses me off. He said only about 5% of these Asus motherboards have something happen to them. Well, tell me, why am I the 5%?
So tonight I’m sitting here on my daughter’s computer, typing away. My honey is in the computer room – the very bare looking computer room that only has one computer in it.
I should have some dinner. I’m sick of salad and sick of peanut butter. To tell you the truth I’m sick of the whole fucking Weight Watchers idea and I just want to eat greasy Kentucky Fried Chicken day in and day out. Have I said that before?
I’m sick of everything. Or mad about everything. There were some women on the subway this morning who were talking really loudly. They were sitting right behind me and I didn’t have my little mp3 player with me. But all I could think of was, “aren’t you sitting right the fuck beside each other? What the hell are you yelling about?” I wanted to turn around and smack them in the head with my book. More than once. But I didn’t. I kept control. Assholes.
Ok, I suppose I shouldn’t be blogging when I’m angry. Who wants to listen to me rant and rave. Minna, I guess it’ll be about 5 days or so before I implement the spam karma. Fuckhead spammers. They bug me too.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Spammers – yuck – I hate em too. Mind you I haven’t had any for 3 months now – ever since I installed trencanspammer – it rocks!
