That. Damned. Laptop.

I no longer want it. I want IBM to take it back, refund all my money, apologize in writing, and fire the salesman who sold it to me.

Then I will go buy a Vaio. Or anything else.

Right. So they fucked up the memory. Add to that, they sent me an upgrade license for XP professional. But they didn't send me upgrade software for XP professional, or upgrade my laptop to XP professional.

I want them to go out of business. I want them never to have existed. Right this very minute, and I am sure I will get over it, I wish I had never decided to buy a fucking laptop at all.

*sighs*

Okay, so I'm past (For the moment) the "I wish I'd never tried to get a laptop" phase.

But honestly, I can't do shit about it until tomorrow, 'cause their sales twerps and customer support are not around on weekends, only tech support is. Tech support can't fix the fact that this guy promised me one set of things and caused me to be sent another.

*sighs* I don't want to have to return this and go through another month's waiting, but if they can't give me what I need, I guess I'll have to.

I still hate IBM. Don't buy from them. They suck.

Eeeek.

I like my laptop troubles. I like my frustrations. They're nice.

My parents' maple came down. Well, part of it did. The part they had been told was healthy, by the tree expert, and not to worry about. NOT the part they had been looking at getting cleared out.

It did not come down on the house, which is good.

It did come down on the power and phone lines, which is not....

Eek. Big eek. Lots of big eeks.

Theoretically the phone thing should be dealt with tomorrow, tree in road and power line already is, I believe. They called me from town to let me know.

Yipeyipe.

I like my nice, ordinary life, with my nice, non-hazardous irritations.

I think....

...it is time for me to go fall over and get sleep. Tomorrow I have to:

1) Go to work and be useful and get things done.
2) Write up and send the TSR-report for my "turn the screensaver off" instruction. Yay.
3) Call IBM about this ThoughtlessPad. Er, ThinkPad. Oh, whatever it is, the salesguy's an idiot. ;)

I also get to wear my contacts for 9 hours. We'll see how my coworkers react to the sight of me doing my job without glasses on. Actually, it's kind of cool, though in a good stiff breeze I miss my glasses! *grins* If I can just get the 'put them in' part down.....

I'll take my glasses, of course. I'm planning to have them in from when I leave home until I get home, but that doesn't mean they won't change my plans by making my eyes hurt, though I think it unlikely.
