7 years. As of Tuesday, that's how long I'll have been working at FirstEnergy. Which means, that's 7 years I've been entrusted with at least one computer at work. I currently have three. That also means there's been 7 years I've had at least one soda while sitting in my cube pretending to work. (Er. I mean. Working. Yeah, that's right. I work.)
Yesterday I was working on Laptop#3, and I finally got my program working! Oh, how exciting it was to see all the data flowing smoothly between all the forms, what an accomplishment! I threw my hands up in glee... and watched my full bottle of soda splash all over laptop#2. *sigh* Of course, Laptop#2, being as it's older, is out of warranty. OH GOOD! I mean. Not that I have to pay for it. But. Still.
So, the laptop's pretty much screwed. Looks like they're going to have to take everything off my harddrive and slap it on a new laptop for me. I know this happens all the time. I know I'm not the first person to do it. But I still felt really stupid having to report it to the help desk so they could fix it. As of right now I just have a big sticky paperweight with letters and numbers on it sitting on my desk.
In other news, I'm THIS close to getting new windows for my house. While I have enough cash to just outright pay for it, the very, very big price tag is freaking me out a lot. Obviously the windows will pay for themselves in resale value of the house, a tax refund, and the savings in my heat and cooling bills. But. Still. eeesh. EEEESH, I say.
