I haven't written in a while because my laptop, affectionately referred to as 'my husband', was in the shop. Happily, I just picked him up the other day! Unhappily, they couldn't find the parts to fix it, and charged me $46 just to tell me what was wrong with it - which I told them when I brought it in. Just the fan and the hinge was broken. So they passed it back to me saying the fan and the hinge are broken and ca-ching! Rang it up on the register. Last time I take a computer to Staples to be fixed. And I bought a new laptop from Future Shop. Hah!
It feels almost like a death in the family, giving up this laptop. Hubby was a graduation gift and has been with me through thick and thin for the first three years of my degree. Probably I could stretch him out over the last year, but the fan-that-doth-sound-like-an-airplane-taking-off has roared & growled once too often. Still - it now growls at me in betrayal as I await the arrival of the new man.
DAYS LATER
He's here! He's here! And it just isn't the same. The separation from my former love is almost too much to bear. I mean... the new keyboard... the glossy, unscratched screen... it's just a little too girly if you know what I mean. I think this one will have to settle for being just friends. You know how it is. Once I start remembering where the enter key actually is, and once I finally find out where the volume is... THEN we'll see what happens.
