Today...is a good day to die, but not for my laptop to die!

Aug 17, 2006 10:58

I feel ill today. I'm usually in a very good mood and up until this point things have been going VERY well.........well, not really actually, but I've been staying optimistic because some of my friends have things a lot worse than me. I mean, I like this girl I know more than words can express, but I avoid her because...I don't know why...maybe because I'm a pessamist? So things haven't been going THAT well....but I've just been relaxing and enjoying the ride.

Today though, todaytodaytoday. Last night right in the middle of a 10 page paper on the Current Economic, Governance, and Business Legal status of Russia, my laptop just shuts off...just like that, just freezes and it's BRAND NEW. So I call Toshiba and they tell me it's under warranty until August 23rd and I should go to my Toshiba Authorized Repair Center.

So I go there FIRST thing in the morning because I NEED my laptop for school and they tell me that it's NOT under warranty, but they'll work on trying to see if they can get it under warranty, and if I could get a verification sent to them everything would be great. So I call Toshiba and try to get a verification, and this guy Sigfriede from Germany or Hungary or something just keeps repeating over and over that I have to Re-Register my laptop with him blah blah blah. But I registered it with the little card thing and I don't want to register it again because I don't remember the specific information about the laptop and it's not with me and the Authorized Service provider told me she might be able to get it extended until September 20 of this year instead of August 23rd.

So at this point I'm getting a head-ache because SIGFRIEDE keeps trying to INSIST that I register it with him blah blah blah, and I'm like "Uhm.....why can't you just call YOUR Authorized dealer and jsut TELL HER it's ok? I'm not going to Re-Register, forget it!" Eventually speak with his supervisor, but Sigfriede puts me on hold for like 15 minutes before his supervisor Jackie comes on, another Foreign jerk who starts giving me the run around again and now I'm like...forget it, I'm not even going to deal with you right now and I just hang up.

Did I mention that some fuses in my car just went out? So it runs but none of the electronics work until I replace it.

On top of that, I walk into the Southeastern University Library and right in the front is an add for a house for rent, $400 a month EVERYTHING (including cable and internet) included and I'm paying WAY more than that for my apartment.........oh man oh man......I just don't know right now. I mean, I'm in WAAAAAAAAY over my head.....it's bad enough that I like this girl who'll probably never understand me....

In Summary:

Laptop with half my Final Semester Paper on it (Broke)
Car (Fuse needs replaced)
Apartment (Realization that I'm paying WAY too much)

*sigh*

And I don't have a job yet and this next semester is going to be REAAAAALLY tough.....one of the hardest semesters yet. I'm in over my head....I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about dropping out and going overseas for a few semesters.

Ok, normally I'm a ZEALOT you know? But right now...I just don't know...I mean, my finances are stretch to their limits with the new apartment and not having a job (even though now I have a roommate) and the highest paying job I have been able to find is $10 an hour as an Assistant Manager at EBGames...

I've been feeling really strange lately because...I feel like I have two personalities sometimes. This light happy personality who sees everything through the eyes of Faith and hope refusing to see the darker side of life....or as I call it, reality and this other person who sees everything as it Truthfully and does not believe in any kind of mystical force or chance.

Right now....I'm leaning towards the other person...I can't BELIEVE I don't have a good paying job yet. I mean, I have a Business Degree for God's sake and I don't have a good paying job! I'm really frazzled right now by that.....I GEUSS what I'm going to HAVE to do is work for a Temp Agency to get my foot in the door at a Corporation like Publix.

The position I was recently offered at a Temp Agency was $7.50 an hour 40 hours a week 8am - 4:30pm which comes out to $300 a week which is basically crap, but it would get my foot in the door at Publix. It's Corporate, which I like, despite the fact that I really had my heart set on working for Target...

Sorry for the negativity, maybe I should've gone for a run instead...but now I've gotta redo my whole paper and I don't even have my beloved laptop...====----/////
