grumpy in the morning

Well, the trials and tribulations with my laptop continue. It's been cranky for a few months, but nothing show-stopping. The transformer on the power cord died, though. Of the 7 laptops on our booth at the show, none were compatible except the boss', and he needs it. So I found one locally, $140 CDN! Sheesh! And, it only charges the batteries, it will not actually run.

Then Windows cratered during a synch with the server last night. Now I get a happy "Fuck you, your fucked" screen when it starts up, telling me to start in safe mode. What, put a condom on and try again? Well, it works in safe mode, sort of. Grrrr.

Who should I hate more, Dell, or Microsoft?

So I am tired and headachy this AM. I am out of aspirin. I only slept 9 hours. I'm tired of the food downstairs, and the coffee in the room, well, is lacking. And SHG is in Houston, not here.

Time to wander out in search of cheese-on-grease and coffee.

Oh, and it's raining.
