A 3 day turnaround seems to have occured with my blog and since I've noticed this 20 minutes before day 4 I figured I'd better throw something down quick. I'm a stickler for tradition ain't i?
MY COMPUTER IS WORKING AGAIN.
For the last, oh I don't know, 8 or 9 months, my computer had begun to self-destruct. It began with my new graphics card all that time ago. Then motherboards and various parts kept going. The most fun failure was about a month ago when I installed the latest drivers for my graphics card and for some reason the cd drive gained sentience. It opened whenever it pleased, closed whenever it pleased, sometimes not all the way, sometimes teasing me. I don't like it when my computer physically struggles against me, sure it can battle me with software, but not a tug of war!
So anywho, yesterday I gutted it. New motherboard, processor, more ram, new hard drive. Absolutely everything was spangly. And I installed Vista.
Ah computer games, how I have missed thee. (Apart from Madden, that thing taunts me on Xbox every day)
So I was told today that I may be promoted. I don't hold out a whole lot of hope on that front, I've been screwed over twice in that place already for promotion and at least a dozen times for holidays. But it seems almost all of my direct are managers have decided to hand in their notices with a couple of weeks of each other. On one hand; woooo for more pay. On the other hand; boooo because I may have to actually earn my pay.
But for now my bed beckons me. Actually a lot of things are beckoning me but I'm trying to ignore them. People only ever call me when they want something or it's inconvenient. Stupid weekend overtime ruining my social life.
