What a Week

On Monday I summoned up my courage and asked for (and got!) a raise, and more hours. That turned into more stress than I needed, but alls well that ends well, and I did get a raise and more hours (and the increase from my old weekly income is going to go right into my savings.)

 

It took me most of the week but I found a DSL provider, for less than I actually expected to pay! I ended up going with the phone company, which I DIDN'T want to do for various reasons, but I did have to as Verizon wasn't available here. I think I made out OK. :)

 

I also ordered a new Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I think it will be here this week, I hope. It has an integrated webcam and I upgraded the battery. I've wanted a laptop for years, but I never had a reason to have one. Now I do (more on that later) and I am getting a big tax refund, so I went and did it. :)

 

The DSL will be installed on Wednesday. I hope all goes well. :D I'm a little worried since I cannot be there when they install it, and my mom doesn't know anything at all about computers. I also have a therapy session on Wednesday, hopefully, if it doesn't get canceled again. At this point it's just a hassle and I'm not entirely looking forward to it. ;)

 

I'm thinking this week will be another busy week for me, and I hope it's not as interesting as last week. *laughs*

 

Yesterday I set up a blog for my Cill work: Keeping Brighid's Flame. I've invited any of the Cill members who want to join me in posting there to do so. No one has been added yet, but I have at least one other person who will join.

Silly question time: Are you planning to give your new laptop a name? Just asking, because I have friends who name their computers. And, I remember you'd given a name to your new harp.

Probably. I don't know yet. LOL

 

It's going to be involved in a lot of ritual work (that's the 'more on that later' part) so it probably will have a name. ;) My PC does.

Congratulations on getting your new laptop! I got a new (or rather a second hand) PC this week, after having wanted a new one for over 2 years. It seems odd to lose the old one though, I had that one since 2002! Will you be keeping your own PC or selling it off?

I'll be keeping my PC. My mom will use it (I hate letting her use THAT, anyway. We fight over it. It's MINE, I shelled out the $700 for it, and she whines if I don't let her use it.)

 

I am password protecting my laptop, it is MINE, and no one else is using it.

I'm right behind you on that, Warrior.

I don't let anybody touch my lappy. His name is Brainbiter, and he's MINE. I figure I paid for it, I make the rules, if you don't like it, f**k off. Laptops are expensive, delicate pieces of machinery and most people don't get that because it's not theirs.

I recently had a really bad argument with my lady about it. I make no exceptions. Not even my children are allowed to touch it! My whole family think I'm a computer scrooge, but I could give a damn. We've got a perfectly good desktop, use that, I tell them.

Just don't touch my lappy, we'll get along fine, is my motto.

Still jealous of you, though.
