Apparently, sorry isn't necessary
I used to have a saying that no matter what a person did to me, if they apologized, I would forgive them, because I'm a sucker.
Heh.
All remember the stuff with my roommate? Yes?
Well, yesterday, she asked me if I could help her with her internet, because I had fixed a problem with it last semester. I did the decent thing, and tried to help her. She said it hadn't been working for a week. first I switched our internet cords to make sure it wasn't a connection problem there. Still didn't work. I asked if she ran an anti-virus, and she had. I asked if she had ad-aware. She looked at it was there. So I went to run that, and all we got was an error message. On the whole screen. She had to reboot. Then I went for system restore. The computer wouldn't let me do that either. Needless to say, that was my last idea.
The thing is, I couldn't have refused to help without being an asshole, that's one thing. However, I *apologized* for not being able to fix it. Twice. Once with the word "really" in it.
Keep in mind this is the first conversation I've had with her since the Incident. And that there hasn't been a morning when she hasn't woken me up (MWF at 9, TuTh at 7) with either the light or talking, or both. And when my father dropped me off the last time, he actually cleaned out the garbage can, because it had an unidentifiable sticky substance in it.
*sigh*
