Oy

~ susie

So I made myself run some errands this morning before I would allow myself the luxury of watching All My Children while I worked. (It’s online now.)

It was about 15 minutes into the story when MY FUCKING MONITOR BLEW. Now, I got my money’s worth. It’s a used Dell I bought for $90 five years ago, so I’m not exactly bitter. But there’s $138 I didn’t plan to spend this month.

I spend an hour online looking for a good deal and found one on Amazon. Okay, I figure I can use my laptop in the meantime, right? Wrong. I spent an hour trying to hook up my keyboard and get it to work, the same keyboard I was already using with my laptop for months. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear it was a Mercury retrograde.

  2. Gosh dawg it! Those first-world problems.

    Wait, is that the point? Who am I? Where am I?

  3. @ 1 & 2 — A computer, including the necessary monitor, is Susie’s work tool. Without it she can’t do her jobs. So, maybe first world, but that’s where she’s trying to survive. And her work, for me, adds high value to my search for news.
