Green Room - Week 10 - Day 1

Good morning and welcome back to the game!

Yes, I'll go ahead and confirm the obvious that the new topic will be out later today!

I haven't had a "break" in the game before, so I'm hoping that people convince me that it's a good idea by all coming back!*G*

So how was everyone's extended weekend? How are you planning on getting by this week?*G*

by going out shopping. :d For Christmas gifts and other things.

The phoenix proke several comp rules last night and had coffee over by her comp. She thought she had her leak proof coffee cup sealed...

But not so much. So now the keyboard on her laptop is "royally fucked."

... Um... :d I actually thought it was going to be worse; when I first fired up the laptop it wasn't doing shit. Wouldn't turn on, wouldn't do *anything*. Needless to say I was not pleased; my nano is on there and I hadn't yet had a chance to back it all up to lj and the hard drive. I did get it to fire later on that day and managed to save the stuff I wanted to. I'm going in today to have the Geek Squad take a look at it among other things. I have a few other questions for them as well, and I'm hoping that it'll be productive. :d

Needless to say I was whigging out just a bit yesterday (not now; on a dexktop which I can't totally use at the moment because it doesn't have a full running version of office 03 and I don't want 07) and I think it showed in a phone convo I was having with someone.

Oh and due to these issues I did *not* get to turn in my word count for nano, so according to the site I am not a winner this year. In other ways, though I feel like I am. I managed to get a substantial amount of words written around a crazy batshit insane November, I reached 30K which was my actual goal for the month, so I'm proud of me.

I believe you are a winner if you reach YOUR goal.

And I am proud of you too!

I spilled Sprite on my laptop keyboard a few years ago. I turned it on its side where I had spilled so that it could drain, but it was still sticky for quite some time.

*hopes that your compie can be fixed!*

No such luck. Best Buy only services the comps that have been purchased from there. They would've had to send it away to get it fixed. I suppose I could use a USB keyboard with it, but ya know...


and it's screwed. I turned it upside down, and when I pres the keys now they don't do what they're supposed to. It *does* work with a USB, though.
