YAY - EPEEN2 has arrived in New England as of 6:49 am. (Damn I love package tracking!)
BOO - No one's gonna be around to sign for her today. Right, looks like they'll be trying again tomorrow.
no real news... somewhat amused by the OMGWTFANNANICOLE explosion across LJ... *shakes head* ya know... thousands of people die every day in fucked up circumstances with nary a blip and one B-list celebrity kicks off and suddenly the switchboards light up and the traffic breaks the internet. (seriously. This story broke CNN, Wikipedia and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ohnotheydidnt repeatedly since yesterday.)
Still I feel sorry for her. She's gotten shat on from day one, and now leaves behind a five month old little girl. Course I can't help thinking, where are Madonna and Angelina Jolie when you need them, and then I remember oh hai, this kid's pale, they aren't interested. ;)
K, I'd better stop now before I descend thoroughly into snarky madness. I'm also desperately praying that I don't get called in tonight. I really don't want to have had gotten up at 6:45 only to have to close concession until 11:30. Yeesh.

Nothing like waking up, poking around what remained a deaf and dumb computer after the 2 hour chat with dell CSR, having it crash, then restarting it and discovering, painfully, that your system AND your speakers are turned up all the way. Yikes. Nothing like jumping out of your skin at 7AM either. That'll wake a girl up. The windows startup noise really is the stuff on nightmares.
Currently back online with Dell, cancelling the exchange order. Yah, they were going to send me a whole new tower! O_o I think the CSR got tired, and I don't blame her. But she said I'd have no problem cancelling it, and I'm glad I asked, considering I figured I could fix it if I poked it hard enough. Ah, there we go. All set. :)
One thing Dell did with these XPS cases that's pretty cool is the toolless entry. They have all these interesting little hinges and catches that hold all the cards in place rather than screws. It's a pretty neat system. We'll have to see how it holds up over time, but the idea is cool.
I'm going to have to book it home tonight and pray I can install WoW quickly (quickly meaning in under 3 hours including patches).Grr. It's always annoying when you get something working right before work, cause you want to sit and play with it rather than, you know, putting your pants on and catching a bus...
