January 23 Seems like a MondaySome days start
badly and get worse. Today was such a day. It started when I
attempted to gain access to a laptop I've been fixing up for a friend who needs
one. After trying various options I decided that I was going to have to
reinstall windows, so I settled down to the long task. That's when the
laptop decided that it had had enough of life, and gave up the ghost! One
minute it was doing its thing, the next it was dead. Stone
dead.
From there things
just got worse. The users decided that today they would spend the day
submitting tasks for us programmers to complete. I would not be much
surprised if that's all they did today, because the list of tasks has grown to
an alarming degree. Of course completing the actual tasks became more
difficult today as well, because things that normally work out relatively simply
decided that today they were going to "dig their heals in."
Mind you, it's
probably not as bad as it seems: Much of this is probably due to the fact
that the laptop's dying irritated me a great deal, so my thoughts were not the
calm, cool-headed thoughts that they usually are. I had another go with
the laptop this evening - I completely dismantled it and then reassembled it in
the hope that "something loose" would become "something tight," but to no
avail. It still refuses to show signs of life.
So there it is: A
day I will be glad to shut my eyes on!
