Computer Troubles (again)
Nanowrimo has gone down the tubes. I dropped my computer and broke the screen and had no computer for a week. It sucks too cause Greg and I are working on this ebook and I needed to use the computer to write my sections. We normally work on it together at different computers, but I basically just had to sit there and do nothing cause I had no computer. Which sets us back.
Well then I was looking on line for a cheap replacement so I could still do my work, and I found one for $400 on Craigslist and I went to look at it and the girl didn’t know the first thing about it, but it looked almost the same as mine, I thought. It had OS X and it looked the same as far as I could tell. A couple less features, but I thought I could deal with that for a good price, you know. So I bought it. And it turnes out it’s not compatible with ANYTHING I have. NONE of my files or programs work on it and it doesn’t read my disks or anything. So I asked the girl if I could give it back to her and get my money back and she was reluctant, but said that if it still didn’t work in a couple days she’d do it.
So I went to the Mac tech guys and asked them to look at it. Everything I could do to make the thing work. Including swtiching the screens. And I just doesn’t work. It’s a piece of shit. So I told her I couldn’t get it to work and asked her to make good on her word. Even said I’d give her 50 bucks for her trouble. But she ignored me. And isn’t going to make good on her word. So now I’m stuck with 2 computers thtat don’t work. And I still can’t do anything.
I’ve been trying to resell it on Craigslist, but no one wants it. It’s too old. I didn’t know. I really thought it was the same as mine. I’m kind of angry. Mostly at myself for being in such a hurry to fix my screw-up that I bought out of emotion. I probably wasn’t in the best state of mind to buy a new computer cause I was crying all the time for like 4 days cause I was so upset at myself and so upset about everything really. And I should have brought someone with me who would have been able to look at it with a bit more of a clear head than me...
So now I don’t want to buy another one and waste even more money until I can afford a NEW one that WILL work with all my programs and will do everything I need it to do, but the catch-22 is that we’re working on businesses online and I need the computer. So grr. I’m trying to make due with what I have. I’m just annoyed. At myself for being in such a hurry to fix my mistake and get a new computer t hat I made the situation worse. And at the girl for not keeping her word.
That’s one thing I NEVER want to be like. If I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. Otherwise, I won’t say it. And if I do say it and then don’t want to do it later, I’ll still be good to my word. I guess I can’t expect everyone in this world to be like me.
Hey, not everyone can be as awesome as me!
Anyway... thanks for reading my rant. Sometimes you just need to get it out of your system, you know?
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. It’s not Thanksgiving here, so I kind of forgot about it. But it’s Thanksgiving there. Check ya later.
