what a rubbish day
I have had a great day today and I would like to share it with you all - My eyes are red and sore due to crappy pollen - I'm tired as hell and the heat aint helping - I get into work this morning and what do I find - a computer that boots up gets to just before windows bluescreens and re-starts - nice!
So I can't read any mails or do anything really - OK I think - I will fix it then - try to repair windows - it doesn't even know windows is there - have to reformat and re-install - sweet... and then it still doesn't work properly - so I think OK back up the data - so I go to take the hard drive out of the machine and rip my finger open on the edge of the PSU when the power cable comes out - this hurts like hell and I'm left swearing in the middle of the office - of course I am now holding a hard drive in my hand which happens to be unusually hot - partially because it hasn't been turned off for ages partially because it's knackered half way through my swearing fit I notice a burning sensation and notice that my right thumb is now roasting quite nicely - more pain as I drop the hard disk and swear some more... the flippin' machine still barely works - I think I'm going to claim devine retribution and hit it with a sledge hammer... but I'll probably miss and hurt myself if I try that - I hate today. |

What like explaining to my boss why there are bits of silicon all over my desk and my computer has mysteriously dissapeared - I'm looking forward to that one....
oh well it works well enough to get on PCMech so things are suddenly looking up! |

You can always overclock it and wait for the smoke to come up.
