My laptop is possessed

Ok my laptop is seriously out of control. Ok nothing is apparently wrong with it. It just seems to do what it wants when it wants. A few months ago I wrote about the battery not charging that was it first issue. This past month however I think maybe its just trying to make me crazy. See I was cleaning my kitchen a few weeks ago. I was listening to the laptop in the kitchen and it was sitting on top of my space heater (which was not on because though I might not be a genius I'm just not that stupid either). Anyways to make a long story short I dropped it while it was still open when I went to put it away. So I ran back into the other room and tried to plug it in to see what kind of damage I had done, and of course it wouldn't turn on. Here's the thing try as I might for about two hours, I still couldn't get it to work. Then I went to my sisters, borrowed my nieces laptop, came back home the next day. Then just for fun I tried the power button on my computer. Didn't do anything except open it up and press power. The crazy thing turned on.
No problems everything worked just fine. I was a little scared to unplug and move it at all since I was afraid it might never work again, but today I got sick of tripping over the cord so I decided to give it a go. It worked again. No problems.
Then my next feet was to upload some pictures I took from Christmas. That it appeared wasn't going to go as planned. I did however manage to re-load the needed software and re-boot my computer. Funny thing I notice after I did this. The power meter was up, I haven't seen this in awhile even though its always suppose to be on the task bar (Again I don't understand). When I clicked on it the battery was magically charged. I didn't really believe it because the computer hasn't even read that I had a battery in months. Now its fully or at least 90% charged.
I don't know when it charged itself up or how for that matter. The one thing I feel vindicated on is that the problem is clearly not my battery. My computer however seems to have a wicked mind of its own. Be afraid be very afraid.

shopping hell

I only ventured out of the house on one occasion to do some Christmas shopping. Otherwise I bought online or at work. However my sister wanted wine glasses, and though I tried to shop online but I just wasn't finding what I wanted. Here's where the problem starts. See I have what I consider to be fun wine glasses. What makes them fun is that they are different from what everyone else has. I bought them individually not in a set, so of course I thought my sister should have fun wine glasses too. I was then on a mission to find the perfect wine glasses. I was excited about this at first. Until I learned that I would have to walk to miles in the cold to get there (no car). Oh well I thought I bundled up and started out.
Now the walk itself seemed to take forever, but thats probably because I was on the phone, and my hand was going numb, so I wasn't really walking that fast. Anyway I went to the first store, and found nothing, same pretty much with store two through six. Now I did find some that were alright, and I might consider, but considering them was not making me very happy. Mostly what I was looking at were the exact same glasses with different names and different prices. I was starting to get crabby. No for the record I wasn't crabby to start with. After the 12 store or so I was just getting angry. The problem was I couldn't go home until I found them otherwise my sister would have no Christmas present.
The last store I went into was call Z Gallerie which at first I thought sold beds because of the Z. Like I said I was irritated and not thinking. I went inside thinking it would be like every other store I just visited, and was immediately surprised. I found very nice glasses as soon as I walked in. Then I found awesome glasses around every corner. Then I couldn't really decide on which ones to buy because I wanted them all. I did have to remember I was buying them for my sister and not me. I could decide though so I bought three different kinds which would make two different sets of four. In the end I was excited. Mostly at the thought of going back and buying myself some. I kid I kid. I was excited that she like them too.

A Christmas Miracle

I have finished all my Christmas shopping. Which is a minor miracle since I think this is the first year ever that I've finished all my shopping before Christmas eve. I'm a very last minute shopper. Though I have to say my two mile walk one way to shop and at like eight stores for one person was less fun than one might imagine. Finding the right gift used to be so much more fun. When I had a car and there was mall. I hate that so many store sell the same thing. Ugh I hope the gifts are liked otherwise I'll just keep them myself. I am finished so happy shopping to the rest of you.

Who's reading my blog part two.

Ok its seems December was a big month for googling interesting phrases and coming up with my blog. Again I'm quite scared by some of it, mildly entertained by others, and down right confused by much of it.
To start with 12 times someone has googled come up with my blog by entering some form of I think I'm going to die. I'm feel I'm going to die etc. You get the point. I know I wrote an entry entitled I think I'm going to do die, but that was all about spiders. Ish. This is my advice for you who are googleing such things. First if you really think you are going to die please get real help because though I think I know it all, I really don't think I can help you in this instance.
"can't see without my glasses" Interesting because I can't in fact see without my glasses however I don't remember writing anything about this. What are these people looking for a club of people perhaps that can't see without glasses.
"chronic hard nipples" All I have to say here is thanks Mr 10 again. As I'm sure its your reply to my heating issues that caused this. And ouch to whom ever actually has this problem I am sorry for you.
"four way around the world" I just don't even really know what to say here.
"I hate the bus" I hate the bus too a lot.
"how long does it take raid to kill spiders" I am an expert as killing spiders with raid. Though I'm not really sure how long it takes I pretty much just spray them until they stop moving. I think its far more likely that I've drown them but to me dead it dead right.
"I hated my trip to France" I sorry that you hated your trip to France. However I love my real trip and my fake bike trip. Both were absolutely delightful.
"tonsillitis when can i go to work" Stay very very far away from work. In fact it cool if you never go back especially if you work with me.
"fucking my mom" I know I swear a lot but what ever words I wrote to come up with this I'm real sorry. And come on now whoever is googleing this you need help lots and lots and lots of professional help.
"how do I know if its a mouse or a rat in my house" Come on now you know, you have to otherwise your kind of stupid. In fact if your even asking the question I assure you its a rat, and its only the case that you don't want to admit it. I know I've been there too.
"the little wine bus" Ok Some one please tell me where the little wine bus is and where it goes. Ok I'll be REAL honest I don't even care where it goes, just tell me how to get there.

Hard questions to answer.

If ones gets up at 2:30 in the afternoon is it proper to then drink wine or coffee? I have been working nights for the past six days and my body is super confused. Another hard question I have to answer in the wee hours of the afternoon. Does one run this dishwasher or have heat? This question in hard when to do both something always shorts out, and you have a 109 dollar gas bill. It's Christmas time in the city.

A little break

I guess I've been taking a bit of a blogging break. Not sure when I will resume I former state O funny. Between work and life I've been a bit drained. I start to think of something funny to write and then something comes up to interfere. I will be back soon I promise.

Stargate: if only there were something good on tv

Stargate has recently been on the sci-fi channel. Since I've had like a million and a half days off work, and of course its Sunday, I figured I watch it because there's nothing else on TV. I must explain my fascination with this movie. Alright I do realize that this is not really possible. Since re-watching the movie as an adult its even harder because lets face it its not a very good movie.
In case we weren't clear I'm talking about the movie version not the TV show.
I swear I've seen this movie like 100 times. I feel like my brother, his best friend and I used to watch this movie like every other weekend when I was like 12. Only problem with this memory I realize is that the movie came out in 1994. Which means I had to have been like 15/16 when I was watching this movie over and over again. I would have thought I would have been smarter at that age.
This movie is complete crap. From now on I'm going to have to pretend that my brother, and his best friend made me watch it. I'm pretty sure neither of the read my blog, so there will be no one to counter my story. The sad part is as many times as I've watched it I remember very little. I haven't exactly been watching it all the way through this time, so I'm a little confused. If only there were something good to watch.

Karma's a bitch

This is what I learned this weekend. It all started we they cut my hours at work. I really don't know why this pissed me off so much, but it did. I guess maybe because they didn't bother to ask, or even really tell me until days after they did it. Anyways they cut me, so I decided not to go to work the day after they cut me. I know this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but lets be honest generally speaking I don't. I pretty much didn't want to go to work, so I didn't go. The funny part about this is that about half way through my Friday of doing nothing, but going to the grocery store, I started to feel like shit. I blame this on the energy I expended riding my bike in the freezing cold to the grocery store, but thats just me.
Bottom line I felt like shit. I had to go to work on Saturday morning though because I had to open. Can't really get out of that one. Well I'm sure I could, but I might not really have a job so much after that. First off I had to take a cab to the el, I didn't really want to spend the money to take it all the way downtown, yet at the same time didn't want to walk a mile to the train station.
I get to work, and start my normal shit only in slow motion. Then one of are loss prevention shows up around 6:45ish. He is annoying on a good day, but when I'm sick and its like the ass crack of dawn I really didn't want to listen to him. He was babbling something about ready to open the store at 7am. I'm all like what the fuck we don't open till 8. I know this because theres no one scheduled till then and it says on the schedule that we are open 8-11. Anyways after a good deal of freaking out it turns out we do open at 7am. Apparently everyone knew this but me, the woman that makes our schedule, and our GM. So we rush to open the store which we do around 7:45. Throw some registers up, and convince one of our associates to punch in early. There were other people there but they were suppose to be doing shipment.
I'm running around like a crazy person, for what I don't know because its not like we had any customers. I was just super thrown off. Then I get a phone call around 7:30 that the 9:00 manager is not coming in. Fucking great I think, that leaves me by myself until the next person comes in at 11am. At least our shipment manger was there, so he could help me out, at the expense of course of getting his own job done.
We decided together that he will have to go to lunch at 10, so I will be on the floor by myself instead of the person coming in at 11, who is way new. As soon as we work all this out, someone is calling the shipment manager to the basement for some sort of accident. Turns out K (yes same one from before) two of his fingers with a box cutter, and is bleeding all over the place. Best part our shipment Manager throws up at the site of blood. Great.. so I send him upstairs to watch the floor, and get to work on K's fingers. He did quite a number on them so it took me awhile to get it all together. Lovely lovely day this is and its not even 8am yet.
This whole time mind you I'm trying really hard not to puke on someone myself because I am sick. Blood though doesn't bother me, so I managed that hurdle alright. Of course its Saturday so people don't like to come to work. I have to keep running up and down the four flights of stairs to check that everyone is here, and of course finish my shit I didn't get done earlier.
Every time I walk up the stairs I feel more sick. Which is lovely.
Our shipment manger goes to lunch at 10, and at 10:01 we get completely slammed. I keep thinking don't these people understand I'm going to puke on them. I have ever person in the store who knows how to ring up at the registers. I still have all three floors to worry about, and there really are not people to ring on the second floor.
Let me just explain how stupid people are for a min. They would rather stand in a long slow moving line on the second floor then the first floor even though I have 15 registers on the first floor and only five on the second. This being said, this crazy lady starts bitching me out because we don't have enough cashiers on the second floor. Currently I had 2, but there was literally NO one else to ring. There was nothing I could do. I was able to hold in my anger at this women for about two seconds, saying "look I'm trying here." Yes I could have unleashed a whole lot more anger on the dumb bitch, but normally I'm nice to the customers. I didn't however puke on her, or even say I was going to puke on her which I thought was quite a gesture of self control.
On that note I went to lunch. Or to take a nap as the case was. We did continue to be SUPER busy the rest of my time there which is great when you want to puke on people. And of course when I look sick people think I'm crabby, even though I could honestly careless. I did loose it a bit on one associate who said "gosh you just go here and your already crabby" I about freaked out. It was like 1:30 at this point, and I was like I'm not crabby I'm freaking sick, and I didn't just get here I've been here since 6am. I was just checking on you to make sure everything was cool, so fuck off before I puke on you." Ok I didn't really say the last part but you get the point.
I really don't understand them sometimes. There is a clear difference between sick me and crabby me. Pretty much sick me answers questions with whatever just do it, I don't care. Crabby me is like "what the hell is wrong with you.. are you fucking stupid.. or hell no" You can't really mistake the two.
Anyways by the end of my day there we were trending to have to the second highest volume day of the year. Lovely that will teach me not to call off before I'm actually sick, as Karma is seriously out to get me.
