Computer Woes

Apparently, my computer problems are not over. On Saturday, my computer cord began emitting puffs of smoke and not charging the computer anymore. Naturally, when the smoke began, I shut the computer down and have not used it since. I called HP in an attempt to get a new cord (since my computer is still under warranty) and this took an unnaturally long amount of time. First, they were closed on Saturday, Sunday AND Monday (dang holidays), so I was unable to actually SPEAK to a person until yesterday. The second issue was that I was describing my problem as, "smoke was coming from the area where I plug the cord into the computer". This translated to them as, "OMG HER COMPUTER IS ON FIRE!" So, they wanted me to send the computer to them. I do NOT want to do this as I will a) be without a computer in this dismal, dismal town and b) there is a possibility to "fix" my problem, they have to erase my entire hard drive. So, I talked the guy out of it. The third issue is that they will send me a new adapter, but when the HP guy went to order it - oops! - the ordering system was down. So now, they have to call me back today so that I can put my order through. Also, they probably only work on business days and this part will most likely not make it to me until next week. So, I will have to drive home for a night and get it, since I am having it sent home as I do not know my address in Lansing.

But at least it's free. The replacement that I already bought from Best Buy was 90.00 and I am NOT opening it so that I can get all that money back.

In other news, I had to spend an entire day cleaning my room. I found boxes of crap from years at Aquinas. I did, however, find a really awesome bed time story someone once wrote for me that I will be sharing as soon as I can get it all scanned. It has to be seen to be believed.
