it's a love story, baby just say yes
Oct. 5th, 2009 11:47 pmFirst things first: I have a new laptop.
It's a mini Dell notebook and its an early Christmas gift from my parents to replace/substitute for my still broken one. In the past 2.5 weeks I've been on the phone with Dell customer service for over a dozen hours and have been told several times that my old laptop was "fixed," only for it to crash anywhere from hours to minutes later. I'm still in the process of fighting with customer service to get it fixed, but at least now I have a stable internet connection and access to word processing software.
Things have been speeding up in my life. I start running labs on stereotypes and prejudice this week, while also planning an experiment for a class. I went down to Seattle on Friday night to go salsa dancing with friends. This weekend I'm hoping to chill in town and catch up on the work I've been neglecting in favor of arguing with customer service.
Wednesday I'm going to resume working on BWW. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve all the files off my old laptop and transfer them to the new one. I now have multiple back-ups of everthing on my computer(s).
Oy. I feel like this has been a long time coming, this whole having-a-functioning-computer thing, but now I'm too tired and busy to enjoy it. I hope things calm down later this week.
More updates to come.
