tiamatladySo a few computer things, brought to you by getting out of tonight's client a bit earlier than usual, and having the energy to blog when I got home:
- returned purchased cable modem. Have it on authority it won't be needed. Willing to put up with old modem until everything is settled. Teh Unit will be here next week, and I've charged her with assisting me in getting all bills into my name, and some stuff reduced. I want a DVR box, and I think we can reduce the cable. M and I need to make lists of the channels we can't live without (for me it's Cartoon Network, TNT, FX, Bravo, History (AKA Hitler) channel,the occasional Discovery Channel, and BBC America.) so I can eliminate the packages we don't need.
- returned wrong adapter dongle I was sold by some dumb store salesguy. His answer to me being dubious was "YOu can always return it" and so I did.
- managed to feel up to unburying the back of the monitor to check out the cordage, and will be procuring the right (read: cheaper) monitor cord to connect it to the dock. So that means I'm keeping the dock (which I got a gift card with because it was open box, and I might use THAT to buy the cord.) It might mean a trip to MicroCenter. Again. *sighs* Well I need a new jump drive in order to move my NEEDED (read: Doctor Who) files from the old drive/computer. Maybe might pop over to BJs tomorrow for that. It's Chinese food day in the office *grins*
So it was nice to be sure and return stuff, and I'm going to be careful with my returned cash. The next few weeks are going to be busy, and I need to cool it with the spending. I believe I have everything I need for now, and after the Season I start selling stuff, so I can earn what I need from that. I have a short amount of time to get enough together before I go on vacation. and I WILL be going on vacation, I'm just waiting for a confirm on when. Despite all my boss' jokes about Vegas. He's obviously never been - Vegas was WORK baby!
Anyway I know peeps wants stuff, but I'm going to bed. My back hurts. I've been hunching over the computer screen for days and it's starting to affect me.
