Well here I am, sat at work on another boring as hell 12 hour security shift with nothing to do other than wander outside whenever the dog starts barking at someone/thing, and I turn on my Acer Aspire One A150 to watch some movies/tv shows or SOMETHING and..... nothing....
Well almost nothing - the power light comes on, the battery charge light comes on - the fan(s) start up - but nothing else.
This post, I'm writing on my almost brand-new Acer Aspire 6930 16" HD laptop - which has a faulty bass woofer speaker - and I'm working so many hours/sleeping after nightshifts pretty much whenever the warranty line is open....
Oh, and the DVD drive on my Xbox360 finally gave up the ghost last week after a couple months of the occasional mis-read and the odd click sound.
Aaaaand the car I just bought turns out to have a few more (relatively expensive) problems than I first thought it had.
Oh did I mention I lost one of my 3 jobs a couple weeks ago....
Two of the four tuners in my media centre have recently decided to stop recording - they playback ok, but won't record....
The roof in my house has a leak - which has managed to destroy my son's bed and the carpet in the hallway (although my landlord says he'll sort that out with his insurance - fingers crossed)
My Quad core Q6700 based pc with 8GB of ram doesn't appear to be powerful enough to PLAY AN MP3 smoothly ....
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok - back to human now - just needed a quick vent lol.... I can fix pretty much all of this - but it's a little annoying that they keep going wrong faster than I can keep up with the repairs....
