Desktop Monitor Failed, No Desktop For A Week
2 years ago
General
For those most close to me know that this last Tuesday/Wednesday (Hellday/Newspaper job) was an absolute cluster fuck of shit going wrong. From being yelled at by my boss, yelled at by a customer over a phone call I really shouldn't have taken, fuck ups from several people in the office that added extra work, leaving the office at 3 a.m. and returning by 11 a.m., and then an end of day 1 1/2 extra work, I was completely defeated by the end of the day. Honestly, if I wasn't in the complicated situation of my boss being the co-signer on my mortgage for my building, I would have 100% quit right there, no question.
Then to top it all off, I got home to find the turn on button on my desktop monitor was broken and won't turn on anymore. After about 13 years of service or so it finally went kaput. I'm pretty sure I've had this thing since the very first desktop I ever built back around 2009-2010.
I have a new one ordered but even with Amazon prime it won't be here until next Wednesday. I was surprised to learn my credit card had points of something I could use on Amazon and that it cut the cost in half. (I didn't know points was a thing for Amazon) The power of paying for everything on a credit card and paying it off each month!
In the mean time I have set up my old laptop and hooked up and installed my scanner. That is about the most essential thing I needed my Desktop for.
Bless this old laptop, I can hear its tired fans spinning from the other side of the house on its Windows 7 OS, with specs too low to handle Windows 10.
Fun fact, this old laptop I still have around because this was the device I did all audio recording from my Pokemon Y in Amie so I could have sounds for my Minecraft modification. I keep it with the intent of still doing recording so that sounds could be consistent.
Artwork won't be too interrupted as I can do all essential work on my laptop. But I can't stream in the mean time.
Hope you all are doing well! I know I'm feeling better today after a good night's rest.

Thanks! @.@ I hope so too. Today is definitely better. Way better. A decent night's sleep helps a lot.

Thanks! Thankfully I am feeling better now, but the day after I caught a fever and had a bad night. But a good night's sleep fixed it. >w>
RIP the old monitor. Also, sorry your job is being horrible to you.

Thanks .///. Sometimes I wish calling it "Hellday" was just being over dramatic but it lives up to the name too well. @.@

Year of the Rabbit my ass! This is the year of the Repairman! My rig is in a very degraded state right now and I am looking at a new gpu, cpu, motherbord and battery.

Oh ouch, sorry to hear. x-x I'm trying to work on getting a new computer near the end of the year so I can avoid the potential of any of that happening.

I don't really have much choice in the matter. I move just enough with just enough data in tow to need a laptop with a large drive count, so it is this discontinued model or make my own.

Ooof, that doesn't sound too ideal @.@
