GRRRR, When It Rains, it Frickin' Pours
Advertisements [?]
First, on Friday, my brakes on my car (rear right in particular) die. The freakin calipers freeze which destroys the pads and rotors, so I have to get that fixed on Monday (will cost $700 minimum). THEN, I get home that night thinking I'll be able to get some work done that I couldn't during the day, but NOOOOOOOO, my computer at home dies (and no, it's not a problem with Windows, so keep your BS Linux/Mac/anything else recommendations, I don't need 'em and they won't help here). The motherboard has died and taken the CPU with it somehow, sooooo, I need to order another motherboard and processor on Monday too, so there goes another $300 minimum.

That's leaving out the hours I put in yesterday tryin to resurrect the dead PC by swapping in spare parts and stuff I have, but to no avail.

What a wasted weekend, and a thousand bucks or more down the tubes in just a few days. (Or really, one day, since it all started on Friday).

SHIT.
