Last week was just one of those lovely weeks where eveything breaks and goes wrong. Anyone else get thouse as often as I do? ;-) haha!
Let's see...started with the hard drive in my Tivo breaking. That's torture for someone addicted to tv like I am! Plus, I still had all my season finales to watch that I hadn't gotten too. Argh!!! Then I began upgrading my Tivo and trying to copy all my recorded shows to another hard drive and by accident I must have gotten some static electricity on me because I ended up destroying my motherboard and memory. Took me 3 days to finally figure out it was the motherboard. Argh! At the same time my beloved MP3 player broke, so I had to go out and buy one of those also.
I finally got my computer up and running Sunday afternoon after getting no sleep for 48 hours. Unfortunately, I needed to get my papers for school written by Sunday since I was flying out Monday for an annual meeting in DFW. Obviously didn't happen, so here I am in Texas with no papers written. :-( If I don't get them done ASAP, I don't graduate next week. The problem is that I'm working this annual meeting from 6am until 11pm every day until Sunday. I'm so dead tired right now!
On a good note...I know someone who lives 10 minutes from the hotel and he was able to build me a computer out of spare parts he had so that I could write my paper. Now I just have to get the energy to do it! hahaha! Anyone want to write a 10-15 page paper for me??? I'll give you a basic outline I've done and all you have to do is fill in the words. Come on...you know you want to!!! ;-)
When it rains...it pours!
