So... let's see... today I woke up with the bum knee still.
Had to call around for tires - no one had any in stock. even the MINI dealer didn't, so I went with a local place and won't be able to get my tires fixed until friday.
Then drove on the donut down to toms river to pick up a transport wheelchair for gigglemom -- we're heading to Peddler's Village in PA tomorrow. She can't walk around that well, thus, the chair.
On the way home, I stopped by giggledad's house and saw him and my stepmom. They gave me tomatoes, which were lovely.
When I got home, I tried to work on my desktop upstairs... it kept crashing. said something about the BSOD being caused by a WIN32K.SYS file
so I did a little googling on how to fix it.
found a page that said "just replace the extension .sys with .old and it will generate a new, fresh, uncorrupted version of WIN32K.SYS"
so i did it.
no problem. did 20 minutes of work that i needed to do and i went downstairs.
Then one of my clients needed me to do something at around 11:30pm --- I went upstairs and this is the message that greeted me...
Stop: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0×00000000 0×00000000).
The system has been shut down.
what the HELL!!!??
okay, so i rebooted. it crashed and gave the same message to me again.
it did this 12 times.
i did the F2 key thing and tried to futz. i did the F12 key thing and tried to futz
nothing. the same message.
the machine is dead.
luckily, i DO have 2 external hard drives - that i basically work off of and none of my files are actually ON my desktop... although, all of my programs are.
i had a backup of my adobe cs3 on the external HD though. and hooked up the ExHD to my laptop downstairs and installed Dreamweaver and was able to do the work...
BUT... my desktop - granted, the one that i've had since 2003 - is dead... I'm sure there's a fix.
Although, I'm thinking that it might be time to invest in a new desktop... yes, it's a PC. yes, i also have the Mac. I work on both. my billion dollar programs are on my pc though. i am not a fan of the mac any longer really... well, except for the non-dying... although in the past i HAVE had that effed up "unhappy mac" face that I've wanted to bitch slap.
(please don't start lecturing me about how great the mac is. i really don't care. i know it's lovely. i'm not buying another.)
i don't have the system install CD for the PC... let me clarify that... i MIGHT have it, but, if so, i have absolutely NO idea where the hell it'd be in this house. yeah. yeah. i know. one WOULD think that the disk would be NEAR the computer.
let me just tell you there's a LOT of stuff near that thing... there's also a lot of stuff NOT near it.
in any event... i only set up DW on my laptop for now.
I need to install photoshop on here... and all of my beautiful fonts... *sigh* my fonts...
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
i am going to need to get a new cpu at least. my monitor is kick arse.
it's just that in july, i had 2 tires blow and need to be replaced and then I had the laptop die and need a new HD installed and that was an arm and a leg... and then gigglemom's effing prescriptions are "caught in the Donut Hole" --- which means once you hit a certain amount of $ with your Rx, medicare waits a month or two to pay for things and so, some of her meds range from $200 to $1000
I'm just bellyaching because this week, EVERYTHING HAPPENED.
2 NEW tires are effed.
the OTHER computer is dead.
my KNEE is screwy
the donut hole is in effect
waaaahhhh waaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
yeah i know. could be worse.
could be worse.
gotta thank my lucky stars...
but, man alive... it'd be nice to have a break from the kooky raincloud that's been hovering lately.
Welcome to the YapFest (15 yapped)
Why do bad things always happen in clusters? If we didn't have bad things happen we wouldn't know when we had it good I guess...good luck...the stars will change for you eventually...
I feel for you. I have had my mishaps, too. Driving during last winter, hit 3 potholes in a row, the third being the deepest, and blew out my tire and rim. $200. Lost my job in July and am still looking (computer operators are scarce and the jobs are even rarer - everything is outsourced or packaged). Lost my DSL for about 2 1/2 months - couldn't contact anyone. Now, looking for a job is looking like crap unless I take less money and learn to something else, which I'm sure the companies that are hiring are NOT looking for....I'm at a loss as how to turn 30+ years of mainframe computer operations into slapping burgers on a grill for what I was making before....Hang in there - maybe the good Lord is testing us.....Keep your paryers going out -- maybe one day we'll be heard.......Bummed1
Sry - it's prayers.....it's 6.30 am and i've been up all night....soon to get to sleep.....sooooo, as you might expect, some typos even tho I try to get everything right before I post......
I am soooo sorry! It always seems like when it rains, it POURS!
you need to take some salt and throw it over your left shoulder! heck do the right side too, it might help?
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
biting my 'mac is better' tongue.....but i get why the PC would be a better solution for you based on your work.
hope things improve soon doll!
If you marry me, your luck would change!!! Of course now you just need to figure out whether that would be for the better ... or worse. [wink]
Sorry to hear about your recent run of grief & angst, but I'm certain that it will all turn around soon. Big hugs ...
why does it seem like bad stuff seems to happen all at the same time, kinda like death. We've had at least 3 people that we know (some relatives, other acquaintances) that have passed away recently. I guess it's a test of what we can handle.
Hope that it gets better soon for you.
