so beautiful

Today I've signed in to msn more times than I care to admit. I've also been logged out more times than I can count. It's a bit annoying because it means that the past nine hours I've been working have been incredibly slow. On a good note though - it's just 57 more minutes to go. Hooray!

Have I told you about when my stationary computer had a nervous breakdown? No? Okay, here comes a quick recap then. I bought it in 2006 and in late 2007 it broke down so then I bought a laptop. (I know, it's just sad what people with money can do.) In 2008 it got fixed by replacing the motherboard and the ram-memory and worked like charm. Until January this year when it broke down again. It started rebooting itself and forgot settings and at the end it never came past the bios-page. After having checked the internet for solutions I decided to just leave it be until I had the time and money to make a proper effort. Time passed and when I started working again I spoke to my co-worker about it and he told me different things it could be. "Listen to beeps and see what's wrong." So this Sunday I decided to check if it was the keyboard or the mouse that fucked it up. It wasn't. Then I wondered if changing back to my old ram-memory would make a difference. So I tried changing the ram. It made a difference. It made one hell of a difference. A laptop vs. a stationary computer is like walking around with sunglasses. Sure, you can see everything properly, but once you remove them you realise how beautiful the world is without them.
Of course, fixing said computer also means I made a wishlist for when I get my salary. I feel like such a geek. It feels amazing. If I was alone here I'd flex.
