A couple of days ago(Wednesday night to be exact) I was all happy. I had re-discovered my lovely gift card from my aunt to Best Buy and I was bored. Bored, thats the story of my life at times. Anyways. I was bored, and I was going with some guys down to Best Buy to help them choose out a piece of hardware to add onto their computer, and while I was down there decided to see how much a season of M*A*S*H would cost me on DVD. Turns out it was like 25 dollars, so with my 15 dollar gift card I was able to easily aquire my lovely sixth season of mash for a meer 10 dollars. Oh how my heart was joyful(in case you havent figured it out, I love MASH, the reason being that at times its so stuipid and whimsical that you cannot not love it!) But anyways. I come back to the room, after riding in Adam’s car back to the dorm and pop in the DVD. Processor power went skyrocketting up to 100% on the DVD software. I was totally perplexed about why it would do that…there was no reason for it to do something like that. So figuring that it was probably a fluke in the MS operating system(I think it had been about three days since I had done a full reboot of the system) so I decided to reboot it. Nothing unusual heppened there……like it ever does. Anyways, login prompt came up, and as soon as I logged in and the computer was starting to apply settings….BOOM! The screen turned black, and the computer refused to turn on. Great. Just great. So I look at the time and notice its before ten and grab my coat and walk on down to IS with my laptop in my bookbag. I get there, and Drew is working(Whew—glad it wasn’t Becky) at the desk, so I go in back and grab the little tool we use to remove teh screws from the bottom of the laptop…..there had been times before when a memory stick would get unseated and then would cause the computer not to boot up. I was hopin that this was the case in this situation. So I went in the back, got the tool, and reseated the memory. To no success mind you. So with great sadness I had to turn my computer in to get a new motherboard(MOBO)…::sigh:: Hopefully it will be done today and I hope it wasnt the wireless card, cause if it was……I will cry. But anyways. Besides that, other things have been going good. I got my application for DC for next year. Yeah, last year I was kinda in a bad mood after a while because of the politics of the school, but there is a new person overseeing the DC’s and what not, so I am gonna go in and apply again, and not let last year influence me in any way shap or form.
On another note, I am waiting until they post the opening of the position in network operations. I would like to apply to the job, and hopefully it won’t conflict with the job I currently hold at IS, cause if it did, I would keep the job over at IS, even though the network ops job sounds like a lot of fun and a challenge to do. Its something that I don’t have a lot of experience in, so it would take me a few days to learn it, but then once I do, I’ll be all set to go! Hopefully. I still have to apply….I’m not anywhere near guarenteed for the job, so I just have to keep my head on straight and realize that I might not get it and that if I don’t that it will be ok, if I don’t get it though, I think I would be ok for the rest of the semestere financially speaking, but the fact is that I only have 10 credits this semester…..and the homework I have for most of the classes are just reading…yeah…I have the potential to get bored really fast, and that fact is not good. I cannot get bored, otherwise I know that I will end up finding myself in trouble. ANd that is NEVER good.
Now, what to do for a half hour? Its a lovely half hour before work, and I am done with this blog entry…..maybe I will update my web site?…yeah, I will..
