SHITFUCKMOTHERFUCKSHIT.

Unplugging my computer last night during a thunderstorm? Turned out to not be such a bright idea. My laptop's power cord has decided, upon having gotten a break, that it doen't feel like working anymore. Checking the Dell website, this is a common problem for my model of laptop. Dell was also kind enough to rape me $55 for a new one to arrive next business day, which means either Saturday if I'm lucky or Monday if I'm not.

The worst part? I was going to do actual, for-real, from-my-job WORK work on my laptop this weekend. FUCK.

DAVID, IF YOU DO NOT FIND MY GODDAMN OFFICE XP DISKS THAT YOU LOST SO DAMIAN AND I CAN WORK ON TIFF'S COMPUTER IF WE HAVE TO, I AM GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL. STARTING BY REMOVING THE POWER CORD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Thank you dear.

My last laptop was a Compaq. Two hard drive failures before a processor meltdown did it in. TWO. BOTH WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARANTEE. And it weighed a ton. At least what dies on my Dell is the easily-replaceable peripherals instead of its actual guts. Besides, I've had it turned on pretty much constantly since August of last year. I restart about once a month and turn it off only when required by external circumstances. Come to think of it, it's a miracle the power cord didn't die sooner. >>;

Oh my God, what did you do to that poor Compaq? I've had mine for five years, and it was a FLOOR MODEL. Did you set it on fire a couple of times before that processor melted?

Though I will admit, it IS pretty heavy. XP
