    It Lives!

    The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated. School and the internship kept me busier than I ever thought possible, but with that over an my graduation rapidly approaching, I should be getting back into the swing of things.

    ... Just... *sigh*

    Okay, so apparently my computer was doing good for a while, then he left it on overnight to make sue it would stay working good, and the backlight was out again this morning. So now he's going to order a new video cable and then replace it, because that seems like the only possible explanation now.

    Damn you Timelord...

    You just had to say it, didn't you...

    Well, the backlight on my computer died... ish...

    It wouldn't turn on when I started the computer, so I took it in to the shop, then we turn it on again and the light is still off, then when it starts booting Windows it decides it wants to be on again...

    All Is Right With The World

    I've got my laptop back, and unle--you know, I'm not even gonna jinx it like that...

    My computer works (He forgot to plug a cable from one of my wifi antennas (I have two in my computer apparently) from the last time he checked my screen), and I'm back.

    Last Chance

    Okay, so they figured out my screen died a second time because there was a loose connection and they fixed it free of charge, that was fine, but this is re-goddammed-diculous.

    Now, when I used to get 4 bars of wifi signal in my basement, my laptop gets 2 bars three feet from the damned router!

    This is their last chance before I demand a new laptop from them...

So now he's going to order a new video cable and then replace it, because that seems like the only possible explanation now.

And unfortunately, he'll get the cable sometime in between the 16th and 20th, which means not only will I not be able to do anything until then-ish, I'll have already left for college by the time he fixes it, and then I'll have to get it shipped to me, which adds another few days to my wait time, and then god forbid it breaks down again out there, I'll be fucked...

This is almost getting to be too much, if everything after getting the new screen weren't free.

The thing is... It's like I have a great house, but I can't get the light sockets working... Everything else in the house works perfectly, locks are good, plenty of storage space for my stuff, a nice TV, but I just can't turn the lights on...

Bad metaphor is bad...

Not quite the right time for that either, since all the work since getting them to replace the screen has been free. I'm pretty sure they didn't even bill me for the cable, since they charged me for the screen purchase before they ordered it.

Then it is time for arson. And there is always time for arson.
