rambling thoughts

I wasn't sure if i had the time or energy to blog this week. hang on Erin has found a pair of scissors that she wants to "try". she is nearly two so the answer was no. she wasn't really happy with that but what can she do? only a baby. one of the reasons i am so tired. my sister has chicken pox so helping look after her kids. and working. and trying to write (not happening). and trying to sort out my life (also not happening).

*sigh*

Got my computer problem sorted. Thanks to Mark. Awesome. It was a power supply thing so he just swapped the storage component to a new machine (which was the same model as the old machine...and i mean OLD machine)....and away i went. i also bought a new power surge protector which i KNOW i am suppose to use but. you know me. like to live dangerously. OK. no i don't.

It was great hearing Mark's stories about computer support problems. Well, not the problems but the shear idiocy of his clients. I worked a computer support desk for a while when i was an undergraduate. now that was a LONG time ago. If you know me you can probably imagine just how good i was at that. Lucky for me in those days you could be half bitch/half nice and get away with it. I was going to say all bitch but being pure bitchtended to get you the sack.

Started me remembering some of the things happened back then. i remember the time i hacked the the new "internet thing" so i could post articles [i got a job offer out of that rather than being expelled]. Or the time i got so much email when some one hacked my account and posted my details online [i.e. back then there really werent that many chicks online *grin*] and i crashed the entire system. Still talk to Thomas who i first met during that time. *wave* hi Thomas.

Even after all that experience and having known me so long Mark still did the "so did you turn it off and on" routine.

just popped out to deal with an issue: Erin was colouring in the cat with a texta. no really. i take my eye off her for like 5 mins to type up a blog!

*sigh* again.

have a good week.... i am off to find the rest if the textas.
