Is Everybody Mad at Me?

Posted by

So how come nobody’s talked to me all week? Have I done something? Are you mad at me? Ok, tell me, don’t just say, “you know”.

I finally got my computer back tonight after taking it for another reformat after I reformatted the other day. For some reason as soon as I loaded my antivirus and firewall shit, oops, no connection. Even Eric the computer guy didn’t know WTF was going on, so he suggested another TOTAL reformat, not just my C drive.

That suited me fine since all the drives were screwed up. My D and E partitions ended up being H and I partitions because it never occurred to me when I reformatted that I should stop installing all my stuff until I had the computer set up the way I wanted.

But now everything’s as it should be – the world is good for the moment.

So I’m damned sick of something going wrong every stinking week for the last month or so. I did have a nice lunch today though with Emmett. We went to Young Thailland. I didn’t know they had a buffet there for lunch ($9.99) and so I got to eat all the spring rolls I wanted with that wonderful sauce they have for them.

On another note, I was just talking to my ex who informed me that my daughter had run up another $300 for the Habbo Hotel shit she’s always chatting on. It’s a good thing she only did that here once. That girl would not be able to look at a computer here if she had done it again after I warned her. She still has $10 to work off for payment of her $18 debt here.

So I am gonna drop by his place some time this weekend to restrict user access. He should have cut off her computer access the second time she ran up a bill over there. She was told not to do it again or she would not be able to use the computer.

I don’t get it, you know. Why, when you tell the kid not to do something, does she go ahead and do it anyway? Christ knows he can’t afford a fucking thing, he’s probably scraping by to be able to pay off the computer he bought and pay off the internet access. And yet she sits there oblivious to just how little money he has.

It really is disappointing that she treats her dad that way. And Christ knows I’d probably kill her if she did it here again. Ok, enough ranting about that topic.

So, anyway, I’ve got a shitload of programs to reinstall yet again. Isn’t that what weekends are for? Well hold on – I haven’t done laundry in about 4 weeks. I’m down to my ‘bad’ underwear. The ones that have shrunk up so much that I only wear them for emergencies (emergencies being when I’ve run out of the underwear I like).

So Sunday sounds spoken for. I am happy though to be back at my own desk, on my own computer which, of course, will be new and improved now that it’s all… new and improved.

Let’s all go get a beer.
