It would appear that all of the tech-based things in my life have decided to go tits up.

Tech-based things, meaning my home computer and my work computer.

Tits up, meaning my home computer finally bit the big one (and doesn't appear to be rising from the dead any time soon) and my work computer got fried in the thunderstorm last week. Work computer is now fixed, home computer is not.

This makes for an enormously grouchy me. My fortune cookie at lunch today told me that I was going to be going on a pleasant trip. I told my fortune cookie to shut its fucking mouth and stop mocking me. Then I threw it across the room at our accounts payable girl.

If you can swing it, I got my laptop for $499, with a $30 rebate at Staples. I lucked out that my other computer did its massive fuckery the week I got my tax refund, but yeah. Staples has some really good deals on computer stuff. I bet they have a regular, non-laptop for less, esp. if you manage a sale.

Also: I got your message on my phone... when I got home. Speaking of technological fuckery! It never rang when I was in Philadelphia. *stab* But I'll be back! My plan is to save enough to pull off a week, or at least a few days, in the not too distant future. Because I work from home, i can just bring my laptop and do what I normally do, just in a hotel. :)

Welcome to my world. Our home computer has been, as you so aptly put it, tit's up for almost three weeks, despite repeated attempts by the Husband's IT twits to fix it. I am NOT happy, since my work computing on line is limited and I'm risking a nasty gram posting this. I want a friggin' laptop for times like this. Oh, and Ellis blowed up his car engine. Whoop-de-friggin'-do.
