You see last night, I decided to install the new version of AOL because it kept flashing up that stupid "NEW VERSION" pop-up, which is really annoying, so I thought fuck it, I'll just do it. So anyway towards the end of the installation, a window appeared that said it couldn't find the svr32.exe or something, and that I should go to Start, then Search for that item, which I did, clicked on it, but nothing happened, so I decided not to bother. Then after that everything started slowing down, like really slowing down, so I got irate and turned off the computer, bad mistake, as that was the last time I used it...ooops.
By the time Morpheus came home I was hysterical but tried to be calm, he looked, did cool stuff like he does, then at around midnight last night, called the Dell technical support department and talked to some woman for like 1.5 hours.
Of course Technical support only know so much in certain fields, so eventually, I figured, well by the way Morpheus was demonstrating the wanker sign down the phone, that she didn't really know how to help us. So now what do we do? well basically we needed to find the windows xp disks to re-boot the system, could we find them, could we fuck? So at 3 am this morning, Morpheus ran a Diagnostics scan and we both retired, praying to god that something could be retried.
NOTHING, it was still knackered this morning. So now we need to get new hard ware as clearly mine was fried, so I happened to instant message Darlene (from this lap top) and told her our miserable story, she came back with a reply and a heads up of a Russian gentlemen who was shit hot at sorting out fucked up computers (in fact he's here right now, just taken the back of my base, making me nervous to be honest) and that he was really reliable and very inexpensive (we'll see now won't we). So that's it, he's here, the chance of him retrieving ANY of my old files is doubtful, so that means I have to now go online and download ALL OF MY OLD CLIENTS FILES including my own, to build up my system again.
Of course I don't think this went down too well with Nicky as she had wanted her site to be re-designed, well not totally or I would of been very hurt, but you know changes to the color scheme and a few additional bags, but of course now, even though yes yesterday evening, just minutes before it crashed I had completed her amendments - it ain't gonna happen, well not unless this chap can perform miracles, so now Nicky is trying to re-colour manage the site herself, which yes is making me very nervous, but if she makes a mistake I can sort it out at her place as now she has all the software herself to make amendments, yeah I know nerve wracking.
So I hope y'all had a good Memorial weekend, mine was very quiet, I went out with Buddy Weiser on Friday night and got hammered in Dublin 6 which was fun, hanging out there with Buddy, and a chap called Mike and his lovely puppy dog. He plays tennis, so we may play a game together some time, not sure?
Then on Saturday night I worked at the club again, which to be honest I'm a tad worried about as after 4 hours standing at the door it really starts to affect the back of my thigh, from like the ass and then down 4/5 inches, in fact today it's hurting really bad, which is worrying considering it's now Tuesday and that was last Saturday??? So then on Sunday I rolled out of bed around 11:30 and found Morpheus upstairs working out very hard, I on the other hand was definitely doing a sunning by the pool day, which I did for like 5 hours, which is a really long time, and no I didn't burn, which is amazing for me and my lily white skin.
And then yesterday because it was totally pissing it down all day, aw I feel bad for the Hampton's people....NOT, I stayed in for most of the day and worked on Nicky's site, which is now really annoying to me because a lot of work went into that...damn, bugger, bollocks.
Oh yeah and also last night in between the computer panicking I had bought two pieces of already marinated tuna steaks in teriyaki sauce to eat with zucchini, squash and jasmine rice and guess what? the fucking steaks were off, I put a piece in my mouth and spat it out straight away. I should of realised they were off because they were so pongee in the kitchen and that's a big sign, if they're too fishy smelling, then there off. So then we just ate the fucking vegetables and rice, shit I felt like we were on friggin Survivor.
So yeah to say the least I had a very fitful night's sleep and woke up very stressed and pissed off this morning. Well it's just one thing on top of the other these days, starting to drag me down to be honest. Really need this short break to London at the weekend, can't wait to see everyone.
Right so keep your fingers crossed for me that this chap can retrieve some of my files, he's just re-installing now Windows Professional disks and then he can check to see if any of the old files can be retrieved???? AAARRGGGHHH, can't look, feel like I'm watching a suspense movie.
I was supposed to go to dinner tonight with Snoopy and Aphrodite but clearly I should stick around here and wait and see what happens with my computer, besides they're eating at like 6:30 which is a crazy early time to eat, damn I've only just had my lunch, what is this a Seinfeld sketch now?
Ok y'all hopefully I'll speak to you tomorrow on my usual, lovely computer, fully intact.
Pray for me people.....
SHIT - the Russian chap, Victor has just confirmed that my hard drive is completely fried, so that's it my friends, I will now be spending the next two days re-downloading all my old information and re-installing all my software, shit it's going to take forever, what a pain in my ass.
Sorry Nicky, we tried, well the Russian did anyway.
