I am Technology's Bitch, The Sequel

Jan 01, 2011 10:12


Grrr. The screen on my beloved, apple-green Dell laptop is on the fritz. Sigh, no fic-writing in bed for the foreseeable. Luckily, I have a crappy old Gateway monitor (are those people still in business?). I wonder if the wee hdtv in my kitchen is compatible...would much rather use that...

Despite prior experience*, the lovely and efficient tech support peeps at Dell will be sending a replacement part (and technician) and it will be fixed by the end of the week. However, since today's a holiday, no FedEx pickups, so the part can't ship until Monday.

Which leaves me with no new ficlet for the Ninth Day of Ficmas, unless I use the one ace I have up my sleeve, a fic I did for elrhiarhodan's Promptfest I never posted for some reason. Might have to drop back and punt today. Will have to see. Still have 14 hours. I might just churn out some PWP to get out my frustrations...

On another note, I'm Tweeting a WC quote a day leading up to the premier. Thanks to the lovely afiawri's transcripts, I've got some great ones. Leave your faves in the comments, and if you feel like it, follow me @rabidchild67

* And don't forget the moral of that story, kiddies: spring for the extended warranty!

ennwheeeee!, fandom: white collar, wtf, technology kicks my ass
