Just take an aspirin and give it some time

Slick: Thank you, m'dear! 'Twas a pleasure to bun you up, hehe. MC: Bunny! *snuggles it* Yeah, my whole body is a virus. Or so it seems to me x_x Pyro: It's more to do with the provider and its suckiness, then it has to do with my computer. So I keep telling myself, anyway >> "Everywhere you go, always take a Heather with you". I think it's a wonderful name :) Frank! *steals him* John: Excellent point. Unless you're really good at multitasking your problems, which I'm not, it's best to deal with them one at a time. It's just hard to remember at times ^_^; Annsie: You forgot to mention my temperament and angst :P *hides* You're such a wonderful gal >:3F Rustym: Thank you, kind sir. And if I don't solve my computer issues, I'll resort to stealing yours :o *stretches* This weekend has been almost entirely sucky. My eldest sister was supposedly visiting us but, due to her husband stalling, it was too dark outside for her to drive (the lights on the car weren’t working properly, from what I could understand). We tried to figure out alternatives, such as trains and busses, trying to salvage whatever time there was left but in the end she decided to stay put. This incident made her more determined to leave, though. She’s put in notice at work. That's a big step. The only problem with all this, for her, is that she’s gotta keep tightlipped about everything to her husband. Unless she wants the following month to be more hellish than normal. I wish there was more I could do for her but at the same time I realize there’s little to be done on my part. Quiet support can go a long way, anyway. My younger sister caused more sisterly drama when she announced she’d be coming this weekend, changed her mind and then spontaneously decided to come. Her train was delayed, causing her to miss the the connection. It stood between waiting an hour for the next train or ask dad to come pick her up. She opted for the latter. Dad is notoriously annoying when it comes to these situations and he was already stressed up about the eldest sisters’ situation. While he went to fetch her, I trotted off to the videostore and bought “Robots”. Mom saw it with me a couple days back, we both found that is was quite enjoyable, and I figured my sister would find it amusing as well. It salvaged the evening, at least. It just sucks that there has to be so much distress when my sisters try to come over. What else ... Oh yeah, the positioning of my bed has irked me ever since I moved into my room. So yesterday dad helped me with moving it and now there’s a much better feel going on. Unfortunately the sockets are a bit too high up, meaning the bed can’t be completely pushed up to the wall but I’m not too bothered about that at the moment. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with the people in charge of my rehabilitation [into the working world]. We’ve established that part-time is the best approach; now it’s a matter of deciding whether or not I can squeeze out more time at the videostore or if I’ll have to start looking for places that’ll hire me. One of the two people dealing with my case is very sympathetic to me staying there for as long as possible, because he knows it’s good for me. He’s a sensitive person to begin with but it expanded when he lost his father recently, so he wants to do whatever he can to prevent all the hard work I’ve put in to be lost. We all saw/experienced it the last time I pushed myself too hard and no one needs a repeat of that. In any case, things’ll happen the way they happen. Dad called the internet provider and apparently it was up to us to contact them in order to get anything done. Not only did we have to wait 20-30 working days to get it transferred to our current address but it was our responsobility to make them aware of the fact that it’s still not opperational after that time. Bah, I say. Bah. It wouldn’t be half as bad if the dial-up wasn’t so temperamental. You don’t need to gander on what sex it is, based on the fickle nature Although, both sexes have their fickleness and computers are genderless .... so whatever sex you like the least will fit =D Random, I know. Give me some Man Flesh to quench this thirst for physical affection.
