My laptop isn't working again. *(&*@!^&*(!<
I'm not sure there's a more frustrating feeling in the world. Even taking care of colicky preemie twins on different eat/poop/cry schedules with no sleep isn't this annoying (oh and toss in a 18 month old toddler who wants attention too). Although I think following a car going 10 miles below the speed limit on a country 2 lane road with no passing zones for hours may still be more bothersome than a non working laptop. It's all about perspective...
Back to the laptop, same problem as last time, the lights are on but the screen doesn't show anything. The battery is fine, it was plugged in at the "time of death." I tried hooking it up to a monitor but that stayed blank too. Last time I ignored it for 3 days, came home, plugged the dead thing in, and it booted up. So I didn't contact HP repair then. Since it's happened a second time, I'm going to have call and figure out what the problem is. Granted I have a desk top computer still (which the kids have pretty much taken over) but that doesn't help the fact that I paid $1000 for the portability of a laptop and now seem to have a really freaking expensive paperweight.
I guess I need to go find a knitting project now instead of planning to work on income/expense spreadsheets during the twin's soccer practice tonight. (Dude, I know I resisted Excel for the longest time but spreadsheets are now becoming my most favoritest files ever. So sorry Adobe Photoshop .psd's!)
Gah, I hate making phone calls. Although that one barely comes in second to dead laptops...
