Can I just say that I love that picture? You two are so adorable

They are adorable, but they were pretty scary to look at from my position.

Today is much better for me - a coworker is making dessert crepes in our break room. Crepes I tell you! I am currently covered in powdered sugar.

I'm back to being REALLY grouchy. Okay, an update, the landlord came home from a short Easter vacation, called me right away, video card was in her house. I got it, today I played hooky and went to Geek Squad. After hanging around for 2.5 hours and "oh he's loading the software it will be another 15 minutes" they FINALLY told me, we're having an issue with some drivers and just go home and we'll call you. We're not sure why it's not working, but loading the drivers keeps bombing out. Well, it's not like I am close to GS, but I reluctantly go home. Furious at the time wasted, if they had told me off the bat it would take time, I would have gone home with no problem. Oh wait, the other thing was, I needed to swap out a drive bay and that required a new replacement drive bay for the CD-R/DVD-R, etc. So add that and then they would charge me not only $40 for installing the audio card, but an additional $40 for the drive bay too. So, I go home, essentially waste the rest of the day as I am too furious and frustrated to get anything done around here.

They call me at 7:30 pm and tell me that there is some conflict with the RAM and the sound blaster card and they cannot get the thing to recognize the driver or the audio card. So, they want to know if I still want the new CD-R/DVD-R installed. I don't need and I say no. They tell me, come down in a hour. I do, they refund everything.

It's now 10, I get the thing in here and I can't plug in anything to the high speed USB ports because some idiot plugged it back in in such a way that it's not alinged right and I cannot fit any USB plug in because half the port is below the metal frame.

So the upshot is, I have to take the &#%^@#^@ thing back tomorrow so they can fix this once and for all.

Two really good experiences with Geek Squad and I guess the third time is the charm. I guess I will be buying a new PC sooner than I thought.

This week has been a stupid week. I'm waiting for someone to return a call and they aren't and I can't do anything until they do.

Crummy weather and general apathy.
My give-a-damns busted. TYVM.

On a happy note there is a Target opening in the Spectrum. Just what I need. Target across the street from work. Bad enough there is one across the street from my house. Good thing I'd have to drive to the one by work. Or bad. Because I'd buy more.

Target=crack. At least for me.
