Thursday Thirteen: Things That Went Wrong This Week

I tell you, if it wasn’t one thing, it was another.

You may have noticed this post doesn’t have my usual amenities; no banner, no photos, no Mr. Linky. There’s a reason for that.

1. The laptop stopped giving me “battery not found” error messages. I would count this a good thing if it hadn’t gone straight to the Blue Screen of Doom instead.

2. The replacement battery I ordered didn’t fix it.

3. The repair shop has yet to call to let me know what’s wrong with it.

4. I left the desktop running while I went out to run errands. When I came home, it had a virus. I know it was a virus because it kept offering to sell me a firewall.

5. Bresnan lied. They said they would provide firewall and virus protection. Yeah, right.

6. I tried to email myself some files as txt files to get around the virus, and ended up with the blue screen of doom.

7. I lost my passwords.

8. Without the passwords I can’t get into Photobucket.

9. Without the passwords I can’t get into Romance Divas

10. Without the passwords I can’t get into Mr. Linky.

11. Without my special spreadsheet I can’t easily generate HTML code.

12. I did backup the book I just wrote, but now I’m afraid to open the file because it was on the virus computer and was in a Word file instead of txt.

13. I’m about to unplug the wireless network in order to take the desktop in for repairs. Wish me luck!
