Thats a picture I took of my grandfather, the Korean War Merchant Marine.
My laptop is finnaly fixed. After yelling at Dell for months, they finnaly replaced the keyboard and mouse, even thought it was really my fault.
I have this bad habit of taking it into the bathroom with me when i take a bath or shower and leavinging it on the towels so it doesnt get wet. Well, this time im trying to skip ahead, and i guess i got water in between the keys. the 'a' button went nuts then when i restarted the whole thing, a wouldnt work at all.....and its part of my passcode to get into my computer!! lol
So for a couple of weeks, i was on my parents computer. I had one Dell guy just leave the chat I was in with him when I started skipping ahead of him, but to be honest, im good with the software, its the freaking hardware that was messed up. he asked me how i was able to log into my computer if (at this point a,c and v,) the buttons were not working.
Ok, hopefully you will understand this because that haji thought i was just fucking with him:
He had me go into safe mode, and go into the administrators account. Easy.
I jusmped ahead and went into computer settings, user accounts, Alyssa, remove password.
Now, heres the funny thing. You have to type in the password in order to change it, but anyone can remove it from any account. LOL
Apparently, he didnt understand that..... so he just *poof!* left me there, with my computer all messed up and no solution!
I was pissed.
I sent them angry letters and unfortunetly, had to call them. I hate talking to them, they dont know english one bit.
So this guy wanted me to take apart my computer to re-allign the ribbon. They did this shit to me before, its like having a doctor on the phone while you are giving yourself a prostate exam!
I was nearly in hysterics, I did not want to touch my computer because i am known for high amounts of electrical energy, i dont know why, but even when im grounded ive fried things.... like tvs, I shocked the tv one, it turned off and when i turned it on, all it would show was capital news nine on every channel.
I told him clearly, i wont do it. Im an artist, not a computer tech, and closest screwdriver that would fit that is a sharp knife! unfortunetly, if i didnt comply, i couldnt get it fixed..... -_- i hate Dell.
My parents said they would handle it, thank god. I couldnt deal with the stress. So I left and took Rachel out for her birthday.
I come home, and they are sending a new part, not the person to install it but the part. I knew they forgot about the mouse so i emailed them and wed, while i was in school. the computer fairy came into my house and took the busted touchpad and left a shiny working one.... horray!
now, this isnt the first time, ive had these types of problems with my Inspiron 1200.
To date, it has destroyed (or needed replaced):
4 motherboards
1 Battery (which was overloaded by the motherboard.
7 AC/DC Adapters
1 keyboard
1 touchpad mouse
not to mention, one time the tech guy forgot to put the screws back into my laptop, and my dvd drive fell out. Yeah, i still dont get that.
Well, school is over, time for the job hunt again.
Even though my family is wonderful at times, i hate them so much. My sister wants a rice krispee castle to outdo all of her friends at YAG (youth actors guild) and I had an awesome idea to make to hollow and light it up inside. She liked the design (mostly she looked at it and said 'uh huh' and walked away while i drew like a mad man) but now suddenly, everything im doing is wrong. my design is wrong, "I want square, i want purple" My god! I gave you an idea and now you are going to shoot me down?
So I left and my mother makes comments "oh! your going to be one of those mean art teachers!"
Im taking this seriously, not my fault they act like "la de dah, this is easy" it took me an hour tot sketch the design, and its due tommorow, and I would rather do it on my own.
I watch alot of Ace of Cakes, so I see how these things can work.
My design was 1 big circular tower with the clock, and stairs in front of it. and 4 towers surrounding it, kinda like the roman catholic church on union st in Schenectady.
Now she wants it smaller, she wants to use styrofoam as the forms instead of paper towel rolls.
For a while i thought she was just going to give me a block of styrofoam and hae me carve it out.
I hate trying to please the prima-donna.
Ill update after I make this all work....somehow
