I think I screwed something up.
My display doesn't look quite the same as before.
Weird.
I deleted a whole bunch of stuff in an effort to save my almost full C drive. I need to fetch my Quickbooks 2001 disk from the office, or double check the box, and then I can move that to another drive. Moving that and Office will open up more than enough room for updates. I suppose NEXt time I'll use a huge drive, but when I first got this I had one drive.

I've uninstalled and reloaded a couple of key programs and found MAJOR changes. Very disturbing. Everything just looks a hair off. It's annoying, and my eyes are having a hard time adjusting. I suppose I should reconsider reinstalling the software that came with the video card, but it's working, and it's just annoying not prohibitive. Things have rough edges tho and I know that's not right.

however, I do have room on my C Drive now. *shrugs*

I'm sure there's more but I'm processing a good chat I had tonight about my situation. It's made me less angry about the lack of support I'm getting. I just have to remember that not everyone sees it as I do. I don't see it as a waste, I'm trying to learn, and there's only one outcome that will be an issue (IE if I'm made to feel stupid. Like Really Stupid. Once a year is quite enough.) I have to make the right decision for me.

LJ Has been boring today, I'm very bummed, I hate being bored.
Off to finish scanning and I think I might have to run defrag tonight!

You bloated Micr0so$t Cow!

(heh - bet you thought I was talking about YOU eh? Get over yourself, you silly cow. The only one talking about YOU are former friends dealing in crap. Reason number 86 I want nothing to do with some people - they couldn't keep a secret to save their life. Reason number 87 - they're 2faced and will rat you out when they're through with you.)

ANYWAY.

So I'm having issues with Micr0Slut. The bloated cow eats TWO AND A HALF GIGS, it's never been my software it's been this bloated tick of an OS. And I have NO IDEA how to clean it up. I have a piece of freeware working, but I'll bet it does no good. (for the record, this is on my original hard drive, 4 gig. You'd THINK it would be enough to keep that bloated cow happy. I install programs onto my 40 gig, music and pictures on the 140 gig drive. I have temp internet files pointed to the 40gig, and anything else like that. Trillian Logs come to mind. Email is another.) This doesn't mean I'm going Mac - fact is I can't My business programs run on the Slut.

I've been effing with this for two days now. I don't know what to do - I know if I start deleting things that will be BAD. I already see a difference in the desktop - I lost my original font that deals with things, and I swear the thing is brighter, it's hard to look at email now. I feel like I draft in bold text, which is freaky.

Also, I am really getting to hate the CB's good taste. I've been telling him about my issues finding something for my bed that I like, and my subsequent Target search. To the pint of the ride I took on Sunday down to RI, where I found DAMN NOTHING. But he was in RI that day and I touched base with him briefly about it. So when I was very frustrated last night and emailed him about "What the hell do YOU like" he sent me two ideas, one I'd already seen, and one I didn't. Which I love.

For those who don't want to follow the links, the first one is FUBU brand, which I don't want to support, and only comes in twin. The second set, which is a gloriously lovely black and grey, is $300.

[livejournal.com profile] dancer if you want to buy me that one I won't object.

I mean when did HE get to be so fru fru high maintanence! OK I know you're supposed to pay for good quality, but I SO can't afford $300 for a damn blanket! I am considering spluring on some sheets thanks to [livejournal.com profile] dionysia for the Overstock suggestion. I wish I'd found a nice comforter. For the record, those sheets pretty much match my walls. Yum!

I haven't gotten anything done today, which is very sad. I'm not sure how it happened. I do have to do SOME work before bed, address some things from the two day client. My CPA is getting on my last nerve, since she HAD to have me change my schedule and now she needs me to change it back. I'm Wicked Pissed. I don't WANT to eff with my client, I'm trying to get into a schedule. I was complaining about the sleeping issue. CB seems to think I sleep 12 plus hours a day. Not True! I sleep 8. Depending on when I get to bed, I become lucid 8 hours later. I think I need to work with that during tax season - I just won't get anywhere before noon. That'll work as long as I have a client to let me work til midnight. Which I do. Maybe. I also didn't make any of my phone calls today.

Bah, I need to get some work done. Plus pick up my room some, and straighten out things. I might also work on getting some other items to my sales journal so I can pimp it tomorrow. I NEED the money. It's gotten to that point. I'm trying to be good but it's hard. I spent most of my remaining money today at BJ's, but I htink it's well spent since I NOW have food for about two weeks worth of dinner. I'm just getting demands from people re: money, and I don't even know what to say since I don't HAVE any. And this isn't even the people who SHOULD be asking me. I feel like I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul, and this has to stop, especially with XMas coming up. It looks like it'll be a small season again. I should do some shopping now, BJ's has a ton of stuff I can use.

OK, I should get going. I've done nothing but eat today (so I guess I did do something *lol*)
