Longest Week Ever & Bad Technology Juju

October 10, 2009 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’m coming off the longest week ever! I’m SO glad it’s finally Friday!

I started getting sick on Friday of last week. Was sick ALL last weekend…passed it to the husband even… I’m finally now, a week later, feeling better…so there’s where the week started out.

Then we moved to a different floor at work.

I’ve worked on the same floor since I’ve worked there (14 years just about) so I know nothing but the floor I’ve been on. Sure, I’ve moved around ON that floor, but never have I worked on a different floor. Probably not a big deal for most, but I have a really hard time dealing with change, so you know this all stresses me to HELL. The desks are way different, I actually have to have a neighbor…etc.

So there’s that. And then…for some stupid reason, all of technology has decided that I am its nemesis and has decided to fail me in every way possible.

First, my Blackberry died. Fried. Dead. Had a funeral and a burial. A new one should come either tomorrow or Monday.

How did I manage this? I was updating the Blackberry Messenger…FROM THE DAMN BLACKBERRY SITE!!!! UGH!

So it started there. I got this white screen of death and the Blackberry was no more. Thank GOD I have a back up phone so I’m not completely naked. I don’t even know half the numbers in my phone!

What sucks though is I lost ALL my apps (thank God also for memory cards!) and they will all need to be reloaded. So stupid.

Moving day at work was yesterday. I spent the morning unpacking and setting my desk up. The techs came to hook up my computer while I was on break and when I got back they informed me that my computer won’t turn on. Nice.

Called the help desk and ended up giving them the WRONG phone number and without a cell phone, they couldn’t get a hold of me and I missed their call at noon. I called for a ticket status and gave them my cell number for them to call me today.

They called me this morning and came and fixed my computer. YEAH! I sat down, logged on and got things situated and THE COMPUTER DIED AGAIN!!!

Before this moment in my day I also managed to crash my web browser twice, try to hook up my friend’s printer and botched that so she couldn’t print and for some reason the question website form thingie we use at work is not working for me. Me. Just me.

The tech was still on the floor after the computer died the 2nd time so I went and told him that it died again. He came back and said he’d need to order the part and it’s gonna be another day – at least. Nice.

Then the tech and another tech came over and decided to test the electricity. My lines are all fine, the cord is fine…everything is fine and working well.

I am not sure when technology decided I was the enemy and turned against me. Some warning would have been nice…and an explanation. I’m SO pro-technology! I love technology. I do.

I was afraid to get on my computer last night. I’m surprised my iPod is still working, and that my old Blackberry hasn’t blown up yet.

I think my juju is right again…the planets have realigned and all is well in the universe. I am hoping it stays that way…

and again… I ♥ technology dammit!!!! No more messed up technology juju!!!!!!!

Haven’t Blogged in a While…

July 13, 2009 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

But I will catch up tomorrow.

Today wasn’t the best of days.

I slipped getting out of the shower on Friday before work and hit my back on the toilet on the way down. OUCH! I had a really sore weekend, but I am so much better now. Thank God. And my husband did a great job taking care of me and dealing with my hurty, crabby ass. Thanks a lot, hun! (heh, I KNOW he reads this!)

THEN…tonight, our poor epileptic puppa, Topaz, has not one but 2 Grand Mal seizures. They were a few hours apart, but both were weird and not the norm…which worries me a bit. We’re gonna keep an eye on him and hope and PRAY he doesn’t have another one anytime soon! Poor P!

So basically, I spent my weekend on some killer pain meds and sleep aids, and just crabby! YEAH…great weekend.

Ugh, it’s back to work tomorrow! At least it’s a pay week and I get to play with some of the money…woo hoo! I already have a little list going.

  • External “A” drive (I have a TON of pictures on Floppy disks (I had a Sony Mavica) and need to transfer them to CD…but the PC we have doesn’t even HAVE an “A” drive! LOL)
  • Blank CD’s for the pictures!
  • USB hub for my desk…too many USB type things, not enough ports!
  • Something to hold papers! (So stupid, but good lord, I could use this!)
  • New Glasses!

I think I’m forgetting something…but that’s all I can remember right now. It’s written down and in my iPod case.

Also, I want to do some home improvement type things…a gutter for the front of our house, a new storm door on the back…a new towel bar for the bathroom since I pulled the one we have down off the dam wall! LOL

Hopefully nothing comes up between now and then and I can play with some of this money. New things are fun! LOL I need a bit of retail therapy in my life!

Anyways, if anyone out there is reading this…hope you had a better weekend than I did, and have a great week!
