Grrr

See, you can't tell my grandmother things because she's one of those too mean to die types and bitches about everything. Well, i had to tell my uncle my computer died (he was waiting on a response and I had to tell him why he had to wait all weekend) I THOUGHT he was smart enough not to tell his mother that the computer died but nooooo. So apparently after she made dinner for everyone when Mom and Dad returned from their trip, she must have been on mom's case about it because obviously it's MY fault LIGHTNING hit my computer.

Mom, rather than tell me about her trip, spent the evening yelling at ME for this and won't let me borrow the money for a new one (I get paid tomorrow in theory but I haven't worked since May so I owe everyone so the money can't go for a new computer). She wants me to have it repaired. It's nearly 5 years old as is. It didn't work well to start with and now she wants me to have it repaired? It'll be 50-100$ just to LOOK at it, let alone work on it. I'm going to try to rexplain this to her tonight. I needed to not talk to her last night because my temper was threatening to get out of control (totally wrecked all creativity last night)

Parents can be out of control. *sigh* Good luck keeping your cool tonight.

We get paid tomorrow for the first time as well. About bloody time!

No shit. I've about maxxed all the cards while waiting

Yet again our family lives are mirrors. My grandfather does the same thing to my mother, so that she in turn gets on my case because he's on hers. Can I kick your grandmother? Good luck talking to her calmly.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

You kick my gram and I'll boot your grandfather.

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

Thats so sad about the computer. We miss you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah it might be a wait...

[rivin142.livejournal.com]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

short, succinct...

[rivin142.livejournal.com]

Yep. ...Wish your computer problems were. :(

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so do I but I'm holding out hopes...

Good luck on the computer thing. I went nuts even when it was just my power cord that was out, necessitating I charge up my laptop every day at work and hope for maybe three hours use at home in the evening. Strange how these things that didn't exist when we were in grade school have now become necessities of life we couldn't live without.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh no kidding. Half my lecture right now is cross that out, you don't need to know it because instead of being able to build the powerpoints myself I'm using the ones that came with the book and there is stuff that these poor nurses just don't need to know. I'm like DAMN. This book really is good but it's for pre-med students really

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

You can't make power points on your work computer?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It takes me hours to do it. I didn't want to be here all night. It was easier to cop the book version and cut out stuff that's too advanced.

There's nothing more annoying that people telling what to do when they don't undersatnd the situation at all.Fixing a five year old computer is a waste of money.

Tell your mom I work with computers for a living and I said so.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I already told her that. I know it's just grandma fall out after a flight from Vegas to PA after a week of hiking all teh canyons gram HAD to have started in on her. My computer will be five in like four months.

I'm getting MPA (a friend she knows who does this for a living) to email her too.

[bashipforever.livejournal.com]

that sucks so badly about your computer. Logically you're completely right about not repairing it. Hopefully your mom will listen to reason tonight when you talk to her.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping so. It's like um it's nearly 5 years old. It wasn't well before it sucked lightning

Your gran really takes not just the cake but the icing, candles, ice cream, party streamers and the cute guy who jumps out of the cake. Can't you slip her something in her meds when you go home to visit?

Good luck with convincing Judy.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Wel I have mom convinced. Gran takes less meds than me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Of course she does.

*headdesk*

She and Dad will still be around long after you and I are dead, you know that, right?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, you apparently can't kill them no matter how hard you try

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ooo, Keith!

They keep playing that depressing break-up song of his on the radio here. I keep wanting them to play "Where the Blacktop Ends." No, I get the one about "take your cat and leave my sweater...."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I like that song. It's made it onto the mix station too. And yes, Keith is so sweet.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm disappointed that I can't afford to go see him this year (by myself...bleah).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I live in an area that going to see anyone isn't possible without LONG drives

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

He had to cancel the show due to that typical singer's malady - sore pipes. He won't be back 'til Feb.

Of course, I think the concert was sold out so that still doesn't mean I'll get a chance to go.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Well you never know

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
