(rant) So tired and annoyed
13 years ago
/start rant
Sorry most of my journals lately, the few that I post over all, have been "whaaaa me!" But ugh... Last 2 weeks have been just a marathon I was not prepared enough for. Getting ready for 4 cons, in 4 weeks, and trying to finish 5 plush commissions that were suppose to be done long before last month at the same time has me really stretching my time. And I've had one thing after another come up to delay me still on these commissions. Had to go to JoAnn twice today!
On top of that my computer keeps having one issue after another. Before it was a bad ram stick that I have to replace still, but thank you Lord that the random restarts have subsided, for now. But then my primary storage drive showed signs of drastically dying and I had to back up all my files onto my my storage one and run all photoshop files and scratch disks on that one. I run 3 harddrives in my comp. One that is my C drive that's around 150gigs that's just for windows and programs. Then my D drive which is 250gigs and is all my docks and all my videogames and saves. Then my 3ed ones which is a terabyte that has music and all my D drive back ups. I don't want to use the terabyte all that much, but now, seeing as the D drive is dead, and to get a new one close to that size or larger is running $70 easy. I might as well spend $90 to get a second Terebyte, but they run much slower :P
All of which I'll worry about in July after my cons and bills.
But with that all said, cause my videogames were installed on the D drive, I have not had any way to escape the stress for now other then drawing some art for myself, or just listen to music while on the net for close to 2 months now.
Now for TODAY. The WHOLE DAY my speaker system has been on the fritz for no reason. It is acting like some 3 year old found the volume nob and keeps turning it up and down rapidly. I had this a hand full of times before where I thought my computer might have been doing some auto volume thing, but that was not the case, and it was NEVER this bad and was WAY more subtle. Now, it will drop half volume randomly, and I might get 1 minuet of strait single level at a time, to be followed with more flux. It was so annoying and hard to enjoy anything that I had it off completely for a few hours in the day. I've tried playing with cords, unplugging everything, plunging it in, checking to see if it's the desktop controls... *sighs* Next thing to try is using headphones and see if it's my built in soundcard, or my awesome stereo system.
Just really annoyed right now, cause I started music up again, in these later hours to chill to, and it started, and it can get LOUD. And with a house of teachers and baby... not a good thing...
I have almost no extra sensory escape right now other then my DS and I try to use that when I'm laying in bed. And after wearing headphones and earbuds every day for 3 years at my warehouse job, it hurts really bad to use them now... And I mean ear infection bad.
*sighs*

I was really wanting to make new prints, but now I'm left going if I should... it's a lot of money to invest and I have not sold a whole lot of prints. I MIGHT have made back my over all investment to date, and still have lots, but with time and money against me, I just don't know for Fanime or or CaliFur... :T
