Just when you least expect it...

offbalanceSo today was okay. I got the pills the doc gave me for my stomach and I even feel well enough to eat like a semi-human being again! Work was busy but productive, and I decided (with the help from my mom) to stop worrying about shoehorning into a dress that really doesn't even fit my personality anymore, and instead to focus on getting a new, pretty dress. I then began THAT search along with my lovely, wonderful, patient boyfriend, J.
All the while, I was playing with my new blackberry, and falling a little bit more in love.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katiebea and quodlibetic and antheia all helped me start to build it up to full crackberry strength.
All in all, an awesome day.
AND THEN I CAME HOME, TURNED ON MY LAPTOP, AND GOT THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. D:
After acute cardiac arrest, an extremely long call to Dell (huzzah for still being under warranty) and some strange tests, it was determined that my hard drive was dead. D-E-D dead, as my dad would say. ::facepalm::
They're sending me a new one. And then I get to call and have them walk me through installing it myself. 0.o (Translation, I will beg someone for help who actually knows how to do these things). See, if a computer was a car, I'd know how to put in windshield washer fluid and change the oil, an occasional tire, how to pump gas and other basic skills. But if it started making funny noises or the "check engine" light goes on or it just plumb won't start? I call a mechanic. I can't believe this dude I spoke to at Dell ACTUALLY BELIEVES that I am capable of replacing the engine. Jeezy Creezy.
On the upside, this happens the day AFTER I buy my new smart phone, so I can still get email and twitter. And J said I can use his computer for whatever I need until mine is up and running again. But that's about it. I am the OPPOSITE of pleased about this, as you might imagine.
Happy Friday, everybody! :P
