Barnacles
My computer had to go into the hospital (again) on Tuesday. Again. I thought after what happened in December, it’d be the last time I’d have to contact AppleCare. But, alas, the Superdrive decided it wasn’t going to cooperate, so off to Apple’s Tennessee repair center my notebook went.
This left me four days without my computer. Four. From Tuesday, to today. And it’s going to leave me another four days without my computer, because guess what? The Superdrive still isn’t fixed! In fact, it’s worse than when I sent the computer in. And because the computer isn’t under warranty, it looks like I’ll have to keep sending the computer in to get it repaired, since Apple won’t swap it out for a new computer despite its defective nature (nor do I expect them to—I just want a functioning notebook computer).
On top of that, my throat hurts–so bad that I wasn’t able to talk this morning at all and could barely talk with the Apple people on the phone. On top of that, Jim and I are going to Sacramento tonight for our weekly hangout with friends. I feel absolutely miserable, but then again, I also feel stinky and gross since I haven’t showered at all today. So hopefully I’ll get in the shower and feel a little bit better.
I could go for some 7-Up at the moment.
In my past life, I was a tree or something. If not a tree, something that grew old and didn't move very much. I'm pretty convinced of this.
