OH MY FUCKING GOD.

Great. Now my laptop isn't working.

I just ... I want to hit things with sticks, you know? I keep trying to look at the bright side, since there's no possible way this week could get any fucking worse, and it's just not working.

Hey, at least I cleaned up my desktop. And at least I didn't lose my Bigbang since it's in my email. (Although now I have to edit it all over again. See? STILL not working.)

*growls*

Well, of COURSE I have hardware failure. Why wouldn't I have hardware failure? And for added fun my warranty has expired.

Again, I really need to go buy a Powerball ticket if only because there's nowhere my life can currently go but up.

(I could swear I signed up for two years of electronics service on the damn thing when I bought it, I just have to find the paperwork. *sigh*)

Fuck this, I'm drinkin'.

My last half hour went a little something like this:

Compaq Tech Support: Hi! What's the problem?
Me: Well, I turn my laptop on, and then it beeps twice, and then ... nothing.
Compaq Tech Support: Oh, that's too bad. That means your computer died. And then exploded. And is possibly full of fire ants. And oh, look, your warranty's expired! *click*
Me: ... ooo-kay. *calls about two-year service plan I bought with my laptop*
Operator: Hi!
Me: Hi! My computer died, and blew up, and is possibly full of fire ants. But I don't have any of my paperwork 'cause I'm a tool.
Operator: Okay! Do you know when you bought it?
Me: My blog says July 27th. (Which ... heh.)
Operator: Oh, then you should still be under warranty!
Me: ...
Operator: Let me check with Compaq again, 'kay? *click*
Me: ...
Automated Message: HI! HOW'D YOU LIKE THEM FIRE ANTS?! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Me: *sigh*

You know how happy I am right now that I'm a paranoid fuckwit who invested five bucks on a flash drive to store the Books of Boggs and all my other writings AND sent three different people my Bigbang, thereby saving the file to my email account?

YAY!

OHMIGOD I THINK I GOT A GOOD TECH SUPPORT GUY ON THE PHONE. \O/

The only downside is he's got a really thick Indian accent and I suck with accents over the phone. But whatever! Dean Jr. is doing something other than beeping at me! WOOT!

This post is taking forever to type one-handed, by the way. :)
