how to give yourself a heart attack in one easy step

[cornerofmadness]

my Windows 8 computer has been begging me for months to update to 8.1. I've TRIED. It's never downloaded. For some stupid reason I told it to try again last night. It finally managed it nearly 24 hours later. It asked me to restart so it could apply the changes. I went to start dinner, came to check and about died. It had a Boot error, no discs detected. I'm like OMG the update killed the computer (AGAIN, this has happened before). I restarted it again and it obvious is working but damn.

My students make me literally sob. I have never had a class where I have one person getting nearly 100% and the rest should not pass. They barely even come. They all want to go to grad school. I don't even know what to say to that.

The heel of my right foot split open and sleeping was painful. My fault. I didn't put on the medicine. Dummy.

In good news: new stuff in my writing

They want to go to grad school but they don't want to learn. Too bad, so sad.

It somehow seems like MS put out the worst operating system they ever invented with 8 (if you hear stories)...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep that's the one (only it was a black screen this time, something new for windows 8 )

I keep hearing so many horror stories about Windows 8 and 8.1.

And your students scare me. What are they planning on doing to be able to get to grad school, anyway? Wait, don't answer that.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]
