This day started out all right...
IS THIS NOT THE CUTEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN THE WORLD!?!
I had all these plans to, like, DO STUFF today, and then they got derailed.
My mom and my sister have been using my old laptop since I got my new one. I had a few conditions for them when they asked about using it. See, it has all of my stuff still on it. I've been really lax about getting it all of of there. I figured OH IT WILL BE THERE WHEN I GET TO IT. So, I made three very reasonable requests of them.
1. Do not leave it upstairs.
2. Do not leave it on.
3. Do not mess with my stuff.
My sister asked me a very vague question about why it won't stay charged this morning, and I brushed it off because I've had some issues with it in the past. It doesn't hold a charge for very long, but that problem is averted by keeping it plugged in while you're using it. I went upstairs (rule #1 broken) to get some text documents off of it, and when I went into the room, I pushed the power button and it started up, and it said "RESUMING WINDOWS..." which means it was in hibernate mode. (Rule #2 broken) While I waiting for it to start back up, I noticed that the disk that was formerly in the CD drive was on the floor. (Rule #3 broken). I got the stuff of that I needed, and I shut down the computer to carry it downstairs. Got it downstairs, and now it won't turn on at all.
RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I called my mother to find out if something happened to it that they hadn't told me about, and it quickly dissolved into a screaming match which ended with her saying YOU CAN"T BLAME A PERSON FOR A SHORT IN A CORD. YES, I CAN, I screamed back, AND WHEN I GET A NEW ONE, YOU TWO AREN'T TOUCHING IT EVER AGAIN. OH YES I AM, she yelled back, I'LL BUY A NEW GODDAMN CORD AND I'LL USE THAT THING ALL I WANT. I AM DONE WITH THIS. I'M AT WORK. GOODBYE.
And then she hung up. SHE. HUNG. UP. ON. ME.
RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I'm not even going to go into the rest of it, but needless to say that when I get a new cord, if I can find a cheaper one than the one from HP ($80!!!), they are not using it. FUCK THEM. It's even funnier when my mom says she's going to buy a new cord because she asked me to borrow money two days ago. She bitched about having to put gas in the car today when she used it to go all over the fucking universe today. She has not put gas in the car in OVER A MONTH, and she BITCHED ABOUT IT.
She is in for a fucking rude awakening when she gets in the door. FUCK THIS SHIT.
So, needless to say I had a big freak out when I realized OMFG I CANNOT GET TO MY STUFF. Any notion of going downstairs to clean or pack went right out of my head, and when Mom gets home, she is going to get a fucking wake-up call.
Today has been such fail. I have eaten horribly, and now this fucking meltdown...RAWR. I JUST WANT TO FUCKING BEAT SOMEONE UP.
Instead, I am going to watch Glee, and I am going to love it, and I am going to try not to worry about it. My boss called today "just to check in" which really sort of made my day to know that he paid attention and is checking in on me.
Also, NEW LEFT 4 DEAD 2 DLC ON THURSDAY. I have to work, of course, but I'll get it on Friday and play all night. I need to get the Mass Effect 2 Kasumi stuff, but I might do that tomorrow before going to Codename Elsee's.
UGH. FUCKING PEOPLE. Also, this.
This also happens to me on a regular basis.
