Ranting today....uh oh

So for my birthday i got a new laptop, which I needed badly. Was seriously ready to throw the old one out. Never stayed on a page without having to close it constantly to reboot. Ok great, so I trot myself over to the Geek Squad at Best Buy to have all my data transferred. None of the stories I'm working on came over, thank God I had the sense to back them up by emailing them all to myself. Ok crisis averted.

Then I call today to see if the computer is ready, leave the customer service chick my name spelled really s   l    o     w    l      y so she could get all the letters correct cuz it ain't easy, left a a specific message that when the computer was ready to pick up, call me at a different number than I provided. I get a call 20 minutes later saying "uh yeah, I have a message to call you." Really????? She couldn't write down the message? Really????? Ok so computer is ready. I pick it up. Takes me about 2 hours how to get just my pics. Seriously, they need to tell you where they put this shit. Fine, Pics all there. Thank the Lord...

I'd also like to give a shout out to Steve Jobs. Hey Steve!!! Thanks so much for the iTunes program that took me over 6 FUCKING hours to put all 1000 songs BACK into the playlists they were already in and then thanks so much for letting me transfer my iPod to the new computer which I evidently can only get a new computer 5 times to transfer the music. WTHF???? Anyway Steve, kudos to you for such a FAB program. So user friendly so easy to download it all. If you are a rocket scientist, which I was going for, but I understand it required mathematical skills. So WOW, you are the bomb. Especially since I have no life but  to try to figure your totally proprietary crap out. So "shout out!" You jackass.

While on that subject, I am now trying to figure out how to put this new computer together. It is awesome, and way more than I need, but useful as hell once I get it all squared away. Just getting a browser was a chore. I think I may have to visit Geeks for instructions. Cuz I can't find shit on this thing, Hey did figure out how to blog. Yes, important stuff that.

It was so nice out today until I emerged from the car wash, I swear to God, it was sunny when I drove in and pouring 10 minutes later. Shoulda stayed in today. But needed the testimony of a co worker for my unemployment hearing. Got that, got it notarized and now I'm very traumatized. I may have to write a poem or something. Right now a freaking glass of wine sounds good, but I don't drink. So drugs? Nah, i don't do that either and I quit smoking like 3 years ago. I'm screwed  for vices. Anyone got a suggestion?

I saw my daughter in law on her blog got a new gun for her anniversary. She looks pretty sexy shooting that thing. I'm sure my son thought so. Also helpful since they have 4 girls. A great deterrent for any potential suitors in 20 years. Perhaps shooting something would be a good thing? I have a gun or two handy. Just sayin....

So this computer had 3D, touch screen, blue ray AND a light up keyboard.  I think I'm gonna love it once I figure it all out. It only took me 6 years to get the dinosaur figured out. Sheesh. I really am going to go the Geeks to find my crap I had on the other computer. I looked in folders, after an hour or so and  screaming at Ashley to help me, I found the pics. I need to get to writing soon. I've only written poems lately. Need to work on the novel.

So friends any suggestions would be great. Everyone knows I'm a techno idiot. Also having to deal with the stupid MAC program. It's like freaking algebra whatever the hell that is. Really way above my head. I can work any smartphone and tell you in detail how to fix it, how to use it, but any other electronic is beyond me except the Xoom tablet.It is a Droid X with no phone. Which reminds me....

I now must download a new program to sync with iTunes and then transfer it all to tablet....again...This is KILLING me. I am happy I have the new computer tho. Gonna be so worth it once I figure it out.

Ok done ranting for today. Happenings in the Last Frontier today folks. Will have better stuff to tell you tomorrow hopefully. BTW, If Steve Jobs drops dead suddenly, It was NOT me.....I have an alibi with me. Yep, the cat....
