Computer Problems and Other Stuff
Last month, my computer battery randomly stopped working. My laptop needed to be plugged in at all times and even a momentary interruption in power would result in the computer shutting down. I took it to the Apple store and they looked at for 5 minutes before giving me a brand new battery. Since my computer is still under Apple Care, the new battery is at no cost to me.
My Apple Care expires next month but I can extend it for two years for $250 as long as I do it before it expires. I was torn between whether I should spend the money or just take my chances. I was certainly leaning to extending it, in case something catastrophic occurred (although, if anything catastrophic did occur, it would probably also result in me moving to a PC).
Well, at this point I’m definitely doing to get the two more years of Apple Care. Because last night, one of my USB ports just stopped working at all. I’d been having issues with my USB flash drive but it didn’t occur to me that I was only having the issue with 1 of the ports. I had been thinking it was just a problem with the drive itself.
But now that the USB port doesn’t work at all, I have made an appointment for the Apple Store to look at it this afternoon. Hopefully it will be a quick fix but I’m quite sure that the USB port will need to be replaced, something that is not quick and painless (I made sure to update my HD back-up last night, so I will not lose any files).
I also have to have dinner with my grandmother tonight. I love my grandmother but she is a big nudge. What’s really upsetting is that Delphine, one of the cute French lab assistants from work, invited me out to go Salsa dancing with her. What is further upsetting is that I then had to explain that I wasn’t trying to insult her (she thought it was a brush off) but as much as I’d prefer to go dancing with her, I actually had to have dinner with my grandmother.
Why can’t I ever get invitations from cute girls when I don’t have plans?
