The journal of a seriously nerdly week...

Ok.
So last night I think I may have managed to repair the CDR drive. It took getting so frustrated that I didn't care if I broke it (cause it already wasn't working) so I tore it apart and put it back together. I haven't installed it yet, cause I needed SOME sleep, but I'll try that tonight and see how it goes.
I went to sleep while the format was running (cause it was going to take 1.5 hours). I woke up in the middle of the night cause i had to pee, and I stopped in to start the installation of Win2K. Booted off the CD and ran the install process. This morning I gave it the info it wanted and left for work, leaving it to finish itself up, so when I get home I should have a brand new system with Win2K and nothing else on it. yay? We'll see. Hopefully I can get it to recognise the NT server so I can pull my files back down. The networking has changed drastically for 2K. *crosses fingers* Otherwise, well, I'll have to swap the HD into my dad's Win98 machine as a slave drive and copy the files onto it there.
And that would be a pain.

I'm doing remarkably well not bidding on a new computer on e-bay. I think I deserve some congratulations for this. *beams*

I should d/l the client for this puter, would make life easier and it's easier to hide than a full IE window when official people walk by. ;o)

I fully realize that my recent posts have probably been boring the hell out of many people who don't know or care about what I'm babbling about.
To those people, I'm sorry, but it's what's on my mind lately. I'm a true computer nerd and it shows. ;o)

I refuse to believe that not one of my friends has updated since 4am.

Yay. I'm running win2k.
that's about all that's gone right this afternoon.
I got stopped by a cop (I HATE HIGHWAY COPS!) and was given a ticket for having an expired inspection sticker. A $25 fine. SO how much is the bill? $95. Hey, they gotta pay for their donuts somehow, and it was obvious that this guy needed a lot more money than most. I wanted to poke him in the tummy a la pillsbury doughboy as he stood there looking around and being pompous.
ANother thing I hate about cops, they either stare you down as they talk to you or else they don't even look at your face the entire time. He was the latter type.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking bad day.
I can't tell my mother about the ticket, she has enough ammo already in our arguments about MY FUCKING life.
On the plus side I did successfully fix the CDR. yippee. One less thing to have to deal with.

This world's broken. Can I have a new one?
