welcome home

Because the perfect way for the universe to say HOLIDAY'S OVER is for my iMac to die. MACS ARE WONDERFUL, they said. MACS NEVER HAVE PROBLEMS.

Uh huh.

Thankfully, I can get by academically by using my laptop, but it does mean I can't access any of my previous notes or documents, and I can't use the internet in my room. Because the campus wireless doesn't extend to the Maples building.

As you may imagine, I am in a rather shitty mood right now.

...hahaha OH I AM A GENIUS. I'm so used to only using wireless on my laptop that the idea of unwiring my Mac and hooking the EeePC up instead simply didn't occur to me.

I am just SO PISSED OFF that I bought a brand-new Mac and it's already decided to chuck a hissy fit requiring me to lug it to be repaired. Lug! In my arms! In its enormous box! Won't that be fun.

PISSED OFF is fair enough!

*elects not to get a mac* At least a PC you can open up and take the bits out.

I like my Mac! In general! And most other Mac owners I know are ecstatically happy with their computers. I guess Macs don't like ME.

Some consolation: the handful of fics I am currently actively working on are on my laptop, safe. I suppose EPIC DATA WIPING is one way to solve the epic-backlog-of-WIPs problem? Please don't be wiped, data. Pleeeeease.
