1. Woke up this morning, and my computer was dead. I need to get a reboot disk shipped to me to fix it, which is going to take a week.

2. While making potato salad for lunch, I was grinding some peppercorns when the grinder broke in half, showering the entire counter with peppercorns, and spilling most of them directly into the all-but-completed potato salad. The only things I had not yet added? Mayo and the hard boiled egg. The egg was tasty.

3. There is a plumber here, snaking the lines. Water coming back up the outtake line is NOT acceptable, especially 2 weeks after having it snaked.

Today did NOT turn out as intended. I'd like a do-over please. When I wake up tomorrow, I'd really appreciate it if it could be Sunday again, and maybe these bad things just not happen.

That'd be great. Thanks.

ETA: 4. The plumber's line snake just broke, about 3 feet short of the major clog. No, seriously.

I quit

LOL Can't say I'd blame you.

Makes me thankful for my fairly quiet day of not doing much.

Oh my gosh. What a horrible series of events. I am so sorry and hope that tomorrow you win a million dollars.

We've found that our life tends to balance out, so we're hoping tomorrow's a very nice day and something happens to "fix" today's problems.

Even if it doesn't, at least it's just one bad day with repercussions that spiral out instead of bad day after bad day after bad day.

till the disk gets there, give ubuntu a try. Load it to the hard rive or not (shouldn't make a difference if the disk is reloading your OS, but it can be used as a live CD just in case). Maybe you'll like it, but even if not, it's easy to use for a week and it's free.

That's a good thought, and I may just do it.

What OS are you using? If I have one for your OS, I might be able to get a boot disk to you faster than a week.

Vista Home Premium. I'm only on Vista because it came with the box.

If you can help, awesome. If not, no worries.

Vista. *shudder* That's what I was afraid of. Vista is the one windows OS I can't help you with. I'm sorry.

No worries. This other computer works, even if it isn't as powerful.

Vista's okay. *shrugs* I've never been a power user in any sense, so it hasn't given me any problems. Unfortunately, the first problem I had is with it just refusing to work.

That's the kind of day where I think the only solution is to just go back to bed.

Dude...that's just a messed up day.

Seriously, F'd up.

Sending good vibes now and hoping they make it in time to undue all the crazy vibes.

It's okay. I'm sure we'll survive, but some days you just want to crawl back into bed and pretend nothing outside of that room exists. Except maybe the internet, because I'd crawl in there with a laptop.

Oh, and food. Food's good too. It can exist.

And the dogs. But I guess they'd be in the room with me.

You can tell I'm already in a better mood by the way I tell bad jokes. :)
