MONDAY: The adapter to Dustin's laptop was cut down to the wires with part of the wires frayed and showing... I rigged it with some electrical tape and ordered a new one.
TUESDAY: Our cordless phone broke... we are only here 7 more months, so we just plugged in our corded phone and will make do.
WEDNESDAY: Karis brought me a plastic piece with a wheel and spring on it from the scanner/printer. I spent about 2 hours messing with the thing trying to figure out where it went. I *think* I found were it went, but I cannot get it to go back in - I think she broke off a prong. So now it doesn't feed paper in to print!
THURSDAY: Dustin's adapter started to shooting sparks! OOPS!! Okay, no more laptop!
FRIDAY: Our main PC crashed!!!!!!!! AGGHHHHH! SERIOUSLY!!! I lost all my pictures from January (Sierra's bday, tea party, and a bunch of cute ones of the girls!!!) And of course, all the other junk you lose because you never think to back it up. They're not really too important, just a PIA to recreate - bill spreadsheet, bookmarks on your internet, saved passwords, etc! That, and I had no internet/computer all of Friday!!! lol
So Friday night we went to the BX and purchased a new CPU and scanner/copier/printer/fax. $700 on two things! GRRR!!! And to think I could have bought a Nikon D80 for just a couple hundered extra!!!
Oh, and it has Windows Vista and not reading my camera stuff... I can still download pics and edit, but I have to use their software to download my pics and I'm used to mine. And it absolutely won't let me install my photo editing software so I have to bypass the editing software they want me to use and download a different program from the internet. FYI - Picasa2 looks pretty cool - haven't totally explored it, but it might just be better than the ACDSee and HP Image Zone I was using.
So, if you think your week sucked - reread this post!
