Hello everyone.
I’m glad to see that ems’ Dad is doing well. Also hugs to those that are not feeling well or are feeling blue.
Today was a crappy and annoying day. I came to work today to discover my 'puter would not boot up. Nothing I tried worked; so I called the help desk. I explained the problem and the gal said it sounded like my hard drive was corrupted or fried. :mad: :eek: She said she’d submit the work order which pages the tech and one would be up in the morning.
Guess what, no tech ALL morning. I was bored out of my ever-lovin’ mind. I went through all my paper files, I wiped down my desk, and read books on Access, Excel, and VBA.
After lunch, I read some more manuals. They are damn boring and I was chomping at the bit to do something productive. Finally, around 2:00 a tech showed up. He did the same stuff I did, and went down to get a new hard drive. About an hour later, he showed up again, and that hard drive was screwed up, so he went to get yet another hard drive. He showed up again, and…my computer did the same stuff it did in the morning. Grrrreeeeeaaaaaaaaattttt.
So, in the morning he’s taking my whole computer upstairs to be worked on, and I’ll still be sitting on my hands or twiddling my thumbs. In the meantime, my boss sent an e-mail to the automation management chief to ask if he could move me up the priority list (like TOMORROW) for my new notebook computer. I sure hope he does, because I cannot stand not being able to be productive at work.
Even though it wasn’t my fault, I still felt incredibly guilty and like I was being a bad employee because I wasn’t working.
In other bad news, my mother got in accident yesterday. She isn’t hurt, so that’s a good thing. Some woman got into a left turn lane, then changed her mind and moved back over to the through lane. My mother came up behind and then went into the left hand turn lane. Next, the lady who was in the through lane proceeded to turn left…RIGHT into my mother’s passenger side doors.
The cop who eventually showed up did not issue tickets to either my mother or the woman who hit her. The woman has a dent in her bumper; my mother needs both of her passenger doors replaced, entirely.
Today, my mother found out the woman is disputing the claim and the accident.
Oddly enough, my mother had seen her at a discount clothing store just before the accident trying to get a discount on clothes. Additionally, she gave my mother an out of state address, yet told the cop she lived here locally. More :dubious: :dubious: :mad:
So, my mother is frazzled. I told my mother not to worry. The pictures of her car (taken by the adjuster at the dealership her insurance company sent her to) will show who was at fault. Besides, that’s what insurance is for.
MT, I just *knew * you would like that ice cream.
You lucked out with the weather. It’s rainy, windy and dreary here.
Well, my son needs to use this computer create a PowerPoint presentation.
