Computer Info and Shopping
This morning, I I called the computer place where I left my IMac to be repaired. They are "waiting for a part!" As an aside here, have you ever called ANY repair place and NOT been told they are waiting for a part? It think that must be repair-place shorthand for "Well, we actually haven’t done ANYTHING on your car/computer/whatever, but now you have called, we’ll get on it!" The person I talked to said if the part they are waiting for comes in today, there is a good chance they will get the repair done by tomorrow! Hmmm! Anyone want to take bets on if I get the IMac back tomorrow? I love my little Mac book but I am getting annoyed at it being the only computer I have! Actually, now I have got it down on my desk in the place where the keyboard is supposed to go and got the track ball plugged in so I don’t have to use the touch pad, it isn’t really all that bad. But there will still be fireworks, street dancing and world-wide rejoicing when I get the IMac back!
Today I went to the Big Box stores and bought some things for myself. I got two tops with longer sleeves ready for the fall and a short sleeved one that was on sale and too good a price to turn down! I bought some maple syrup for Fred {I don’t actually like maple syrup because it is too sweet} and a few bits and pieces I thought I needed {like Milk Duds} and some I really needed like shampoo! Then I came home and sat outside reading for a while. I am going to miss that when the snow comes!
This evening we are going up to the diner for supper and I am beginning to get hungry!
Until later…

Hopefully, it will be awhile before the snow starts flying! I hope your iMac is ready tomorrow! I don’t think I’d hold my breath though. LOL

When snow comes, you could build a little fire and sit outside reading in your eskimo clothes! :o) !! I bet your computer will not be done by tomorrow, but surely will be done by the end of this week. SURELY!! :oO !! I bought some stuff today too, and am especially happy that I found I was able to order the books I need for my Psychopomp class from Amazon, and pay by check! Some online places only let a person use credit cards! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

I talked to somebody today who got snowed on over the weekend at his parents’ cabin high up in the mountains. WAAAAAA! I don’t want it to snow yet! I think it’s amusing that you’re slightly annoyed at only having one computer at your disposal. Who would have thought of saying that 10 years ago?

It think that must be repair-place shorthand for “Well, we actually haven’t done ANYTHING on your car/computer/whatever, but now you have called, we’ll get on it!” I think you’re right about that!

I keep my old computer in the attic in the event of an emergency….I would be lost without it.

I don’t even want to think about snow! The older I get, the less I like it. Very aggrivating about the computer, and you’ve pegged it right about the verbal shorthand that fixers use.

Maple syrup is delicious. Not very readily available here though – well, not the best stuff anyhow.

That’s like the check is in the mail.
