Did ya every
have one of those days where the word "frustrating" just doesn't cover it... for
those of you who don't know yesterday afternoon while I was at a shoot my
youngest daughter threw a teething fit in my husbands arm and knocked our only
computer (a laptop) to the ground -- shattering the screen!
I called my mom
to see what she could do to help my situation and she pointed out that my old
laptop was still at her house in its case. SCORE! I thought. Not quite. This
laptop is from 1998.
Has no web cam
built in, no microphone, and only ONE USB hub, but I figured "Hey, something is
better than nothing"
So I took the
dinosaur home.
Do you know
what else I found? It doesn't recognize wifi, doesn't know what a thumb drive is
and the only way it can hook up to the internet is dial-up... yea, there's NO
Ethernet cord! I feel old. This is the laptop I used in High School HOW THE
FUCK!
This stuff cant
be that new.... or so I thought, then I realized that my 10 year reunion... not
that far away >.< Holy crap! Just added to my frustration and need to cry. But I
held it together "Illi, BREATHE!"
I pretty much
wasted almost all of my day trying to figure out a way to upgrade the OS. FAIL!
I tried to plug
my phone in to use its internet (figured I could go to Microsoft's website and
get all the updates) but that didn't even work. Plugging my phone in just
confused the poor computer even more!
After
I spent all morning installing and downloading and waiting... Nothing good!
I ended up just
STOMPING my feet on tumblr!
Which was the
most productive thing I did because one of my awesome fans saw it, went to my
Amazon wish list and bought me the laptop that got smashed!
