tarotgalI'm turning into a giant squid of anger right before your eyes.
Okay, so a company I do web work on the side for just e-mailed me and told me to send the login info to the website to someone else because they didn't have that info. Here's what's wrong with that picture:
1- they TOTALLY have that information because it give it to them multiple times a year, even though they continue to ask and apparently don't understand about writing things like that down
2- I manage their site but they want me to give the info to someone else so they can manage it instead? Is this the most passive aggressive way of firing me possible?
3- They still owe me HUNDREDS of dollars for web work I've done for them this year and I've sent my timesheets in... and then resent them just in case.
And then, oh look, it's my parents again who are incapable of taking a video card out of their computer. (My dad is quasi-tech savy and he's done this kind of thing before, just not with this computer). See my previous post about how this is the last thing I want to do right now. In fact, the only other think I don't want to be doing now is cleaning and even THAT looks better than dealing with my family's computer problems. HOLY CRAP. NO, I WILL NOT FIX YOUR COMPUTER. I"M FRIGGIN EXHAUSTED AND HAVE NO MORE IDEA WHAT I'M DOING THAN YOU DO! So what did I do? *sigh* i went upstairs, pawed at it a little, tugged some pieces of plastic, and out it came in 60 seconds. It's just logical thinking, people. "Oh, this won't come out because this green thing is holding it in. Maybe I should move the green thing. Oh, there we go." Not rocket science. No, it's not always the most obvious thing, and there are plenty of people who know computers better than my parents. But, seriously, Friday night when all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry and sleep is NOT when you want me to look at your hardware issues. I hate hardware. This is why I am a computer scientist NOT a computer engineer. I like code. Code makes me happy. Code and software. But not hardware. No no no. I only just scraped through that fucking circuit board class in college and even then there were nights and nights of mental breakdowns. Man, I don't miss that at all.
Okay. Seriously. I've got to clean. What can I watch to make me happy now? Hmmmm.
Also, I need to get this Totoro song out of my head (yes, I know it's my own fault for buying it on iTunes earlier today)
But here's something from Hank Green of the Vlog brothers:
What's red and smells like blue paint?
Red paint.
YOU LAUGHED! When you're laughingyou burn 20% more calories than you do at a resting state. So make sure you laugh as often as possible.

Hahahaha! I love that!
