Hard drive crashed last night. I was halfway through a paper when an ear-piercing, agonizing screech emanates from the machine. And then deathly, black silence. I knew...it was the dreaded...Technology Fail.
I then spent 1.5hours on the phone with a most surly, boring gentleman (I was REALLY hoping to speak to someone in BANGALORE! But, of course, got stuck with some loser, dude-wannabe named Bill. Lamebeans) trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my piece-of-crap laptop. Moral of the story: DELL needs to die. The idiot was trying to put it on me at some point, "Umm so do you download your music?" No, fool, I play my Michael Jackson cassettes on my tape recorder. So I try to be nice and say "Do you think it's better to just get an external hard drive and put my music on there?" and he says, "Well if you're downloading free files, this will always be a problem. So maybe you might consider buying music?" YES! Because clearly I will find Activa's white label vinyl records on iTunes a day after he spins them at some obscure club in Poland. Thanks for nothing, douchebag. BLURG! As much as technology failure annoys me, having to deal with people is so much more tedious and GAH-inducing!
Anyhoo...
So, all of today has been spent in the library with me working my tush off. Oh, so productive. Comfy wooden chair (I know that reads like an oxymoron, but it's not). Big windows looking out onto the Yard. And lots of (goodlooking) people watching :P. Also, this is Amartya Sen's part of campus - so I am really hoping he'll walk in with his wise swagger and sit at the table next to my booth. Maybe if I lay out a few sugar-free roshogollas? Clearly, Amartya Sen is my Santa Claus.
OKAY!
Paper done. Hungry belly. Time. To. Go. :D

Hahaha poor Bill. How the hell is he supposed to know what kind of music you listen to? Jeez, I take his side on this one.

sometimes i hate computers. they've just made life more stressful really.
my laptop sucks too. it's an acer. eww. a "failed model" at that. i kid you not! when we went to the acer place to complain about the many problems of my sucky laptop, they said, "oh this one is a failed model, they've taken it off the market."
gee, thanks you !O@#)%)*!

@Natasha - he should hear the TE in my voice :P
@Tina - hahahaha. that sounds enraging. but at least your Acer is still running. as "failed" as it is.
