Because I don't have enough to deal with right now

[effervescible]

My computer is hosed for the moment. There's evidence that it could be a RAM problem, but I don't know for sure yet, and it could be very easy or very expensive to fix. We'll see. dialogue's generous father is going to help me check it out tomorrow, since on my own I'd crack the case and then scratch my ass and say "yep, them's the guts of a computer all right."

I sound very calm about this. This is because I waited until I was done crying to post.

My brother is being a huge help about this, as much as he can be from Texas. He's looking out for me re: the parents and has looked up various replacement possibilities. I said he was being the big brother looking out for me to make up for all the time he spent being a dick when we were little.

I have the laptop from work, but until this gets fixed my internet access in the evenings will depend on the wireless network I leech use, and it's not always available lately, so...time will tell.

Shit, I better be storing up some GOOD karma because of this.

Booo. I understand the frustration of a computer crapping out on you all too well. Just wanted to properly express my sympathies since I'm always missing you on AIM (the joys of working 2nd shift!).

*sends good computer thoughts your way*

Good luck! I know something of the suckiness of your computer dying abruptly (mine was out for most of Nov-Dec). Once you DO get it fixed though, it'll probably run like (or better than) new!

We can sit around and sip cheap wine and lament our computer dilemmas, then go all Mickey and Mallory. Sound like a plan?

Invent a healing ritual for your computer. Take pictures.

Also, wah. *hug*

Sorry about your computer. Mine died in the fall and it was accompanied by tears, swearing, and thrown objects. I feel your pain.
