So...I had an interesting conversation with my mum about an hour ago before she went to bed.
Mum: Why isn't the internet on the PC working?
Me: Umm...*blank look* I don't know.
Mum: I did everything on, switched it on and off.
Me: I'll have a look.
At this point my mum left my room mumbling then finally raised her voice enough for me to hear:
Mum: It hasn't been working for two days.
Me: What? What was that, it hasn't worked for two days?
It's interesting that I'm being blamed for not fixing something I didn't even know was broken! Part of me is tempted not to look at it tonight and wait until I get in from work tomorrow night...but that's a bit petty of me.
ETA: I can't quite believe how little my mother pays attention to me. When we first had the wireless put in I showed her how to enable the wireless if I ever switched it off (because when the wirless internet is let running on the PC it makes the system freeze and needs to be reebooted). All she had to do was go to the start menu and click on 'Connect to..', I've showen her - she's watched me do it.
I don't know why I bother - I don't know what she'll do when the day comes that I finally move out. Firstly because I'll be taking most of the computer stuff with me as its mine, and secondly because if something doesn't work she'll not know what to do - but only because she didn't pay attention when I showed her.
I'm so bloody annoyed now...
