So my laptop is partly disassembled. I came home Saturday afternoon after a long trip helping Sterno move to Chicago. I was ready to finish a house plan for a client that I have been working with since July. I had already done one complete set for this client but they returned to make radical revisions after speaking with builders and finding out that they were way out of their budget. So Saturday, I get home and head to the lazy-boy with laptop in hand. I sit down and the push power button. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Nothing. Some jiggling. Nothing. Check the battery, power connection, idiot stuff. Still nothing.
I determine it is the power button. Cause all signs are a go for startup, but shit is happening.
I, being the industrious one fearing the rath of the geek sqaud at the big blue store, bust out my tools and start removing screws. I removed every screw I could get my hands on, but my effort barely opened the front layer. Pissed off, I give up on it for the night.
Sunday, a new day, a new man, still same ol’ shit. I rule out trying to buy a kit to hook my laptop HD to my current computer. By time I would buy the parts necessary and get everything downloaded and working, I could have redrawn the whole house. So that’s what I did Sunday. I did the whole house over again. Took me about 2 hours plus another hour to make revisions. Luckily, I had print outs of the blue prints before the laptop crapped out.
Laptop still sits 15′ away from me in an organized mess.
Where am I going with this? Ohh, I got to go back to the office tonight (cheers of joy) and finish the stuff up.
I hate you laptop!
Shoo, I love your computer geek-i-ness. Just for the record, it’s super hot.
Go ‘Stros.
Nattie, I love your state worker-i-ness. It makes me tingle.
