You were absolutely no help at all and honestly, fairly rude. I wish unemployment upon your head in this receding economy. In fact, I wish job loss upon your whole family. I have many other harsh and extremely insensitive things that I can say, but I have been making a concerted effort to lose my bitter qualities. Unfortunately I'm having late night confrontations with low wage tech support jerks, complete with hard-to-understand accents, just after the laptop- that I was writing a very important (and may I add interesting) narrative on- crashed completely leaving me in midtown Tucson, dead in the water during a study session at Mat's and that doesn't help me reach those goals. In fact, now I find myself piling curses on the heads of strangers and their families and realizing that I don't like it. You know, they could have made all of this simple and fixable if they had just included A DISK COPY OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM ALONG WITH MY COMPUTER! Then I wouldn't have to re-format my hard drive and lose all of my updates, software programs, and PAPERS FOR SCHOOL. Hey, while I'm ranting and raving this much I may as well add that I have to be up in just over 5 hours to face a day of teacher's dirty looks for not having my papers done. Super. Oh, and just to make me even more upset...Tripod has added a SECOND banner pop-up that says something to the effect of, "Hate lots of banner ads? Switch to Tripod Plus and you can get rid of them." IT'S ABUSE. Anyone want to host me? I can't promise that I won't bring proverbial bad luck to your server (technology and I don't seem to get along currently) but I will promise to write a whole lot more in this silly diary. link it up | | 2:00 AM AZ archive | email	Brandtson Dial In Sounds John Coltrane Giant Steps In The Country Of Last Things by Paul Auster Liars Academy No News Is Good News Various Matt's XMas Gift Fifteen Minutes Fast the Demo Matt (Rocker's Life) Darren (party!)
