augies' realm :: Thursday, January 27 ::
I was giving my husband the heck last night. He somehow broke my computer and now it's not working but now I am suspecting that KVM (keyboard, mouse and monitor switch - where you can use 2 CPUs with one monitor, one mouse, one keyboard) blew my power supply and now my CPU fan won't spin at all. I was really upset last night because I had some files on that hard drive and I haven't connected it yet and my husband went and connected it last night. A big mistake on his part. You don't mess with a technician's computer and it doesn't help that both of us are computer experts. I told him that I won't touch his computer because he will kill me and i will kill anyone if anyone tries to mess with my computer. So basically he got a lot of heat from me. Now we are going to try to connect the computer directly to mouse, keyboard and monitor instead of KVM and see if it works. Jason went out last night and bought a new heatsink and fan which I don't think I need it. See what I have to put up with. I know Jason is trying to get it set up and ready for me to come home and be happy about it but I guess he learned to not mess with my technical things because I am very fussy about those things and I like them set the way that I set them. That's why I wanted my computer back and I hate Jason's computer and the way he set it up. He installed some games on it and it is making it VERY slow and it's driving me nuts when I try to use his computer. I hope connecting directly would work! :: posted by topazfae :: 10:57 AM :: 2 comments :: :: Tuesday, January 18 ::

Well, it actually happens. My dog ate my Rx paper that I need for my ultrasound appointment on Tuesday. My husband paged me and asked me if i have the information on my pager about the ultrasound because our beloved dog decided to have Rx paper as his meal. I was like, I need that paper to get ultrasound, I can't get it without that paper, so I called my gyn and have them to issue me another one.
Now my husband has to go and pick it up between 1:30 and 5. My car is killing me, this morning, my car decided that it doesn't like rain and doesn't want to go anywhere so it stalled on me three times. We had some floodings in the area and there are some puddles of water on the road which I had to drive over. Now I know what is the problem and will explain the the mechanic the situation so he can pinpoint the problem. I tried to explain before when I took my car in for oil change but I didn't know what cause it to do that. Now I know what is the cause and will be able to explain the cause. I hope by then, he will figure how to fix it so I can drive my car in the rain! While I was stuck in Maryland at a house that I was house sitting, I had to wait for Jason who was just finishing work in Alexandria, VA and he got stuck in the traffic due to floodings, and a lot lot lot lot lot lot of accidents along on the way. He finally got to DC at around 10:15 (he got out at 8 am) and let our beloved dog (who loves to destroy things) out so he can do his business, then Jason went and got me at around 11 am and I finally got to work at 11:30. Thanks to my beloved car. *jeez* What a week for me. Enough of my complainings. Things are going very good for me, I finally moved on with my life after the traumatic experience on New Year's eve. Jason and I decided to buy a condo - we were saving for a house but with the baby coming and we thought we can start with a condo now and in 5 years, we can move to a house in time for the baby to go to school. We are going to the bank tomorrow to get some paperwork going and get things ready for us to look around and making bids. Will add some more pictures (I know i have been promising some, but I will put some pictures this weekend - I PROMISE!) :: posted by topazfae :: 1:19 PM :: 0 comments :: :: Monday, January 3 ::
Life sucks... I'm back to work now, and I felt that it's not worth it. My job should be 11 month position instead of 12 because I felt that I'm wasting my time in December doing nothing. We always are busy during in the summer. Saw in the newspaper that most government workers will get 3.71% increase in their paychecks for New Year. Not fair. :( As I said before, life sucks. :: posted by topazfae :: 11:06 AM :: 3 comments :: :: Saturday, January 1 ::
Sigh, we had an experience on New Year's Eve. We went to Giant (on Brentwood Road near Rhode Island Metro Station) to get some food because we just got back from Canada and we had nothing in the fridge. At around 6 pm, we were done shopping and were coming out of the store. Since I'm pregnant so I walk slower than Jason, Jason was a few feet ahead with the shopping cart, and I was still at the curb where you load the grocery onto your car. I was looking at the guy who was standing by a red SUV talking to two women about the leather jacket that he got it (he showed the jacket to the women. He was maybe 3 feet away me, I was at the end of the SUV and he was standing in the rear passengar door. As I looked away to follow Jason and sudden I heard 3 loud pops (3 or 4) and at first, I thought it was backfires because I had heard backfires before and thought it was the same. However as I looked around and noticed that people were trying to take covers. Jason was taking cover behind the shopping cart and was trying to tell me to get down. By then, I finally realized that it was not backfires so I took cover behind the SUV which was a big mistake because the guy who was standing by the rear passengar fell down and had wounds on his face. Jason left the shopping cart and ran back into grocery and yelled at me to run in the store so we did. At first, I was like, our 150 dollars worth of food are sitting in the middle of street. Then it finally hit me and I was in the path of the shooter and I just got very upset and shaken up mainly because I didn't know where the noises were coming from and I had a hard time decising which to take cover. Jason told me it was coming from my right and the guy was on my right. If the shooter had missed the guy, he would have gotten to me. He told me when he first heard the first shot, he just took the cover while I didn't realize until after the shooting happened. I felt like I'm a deer in headlight and standing up and didn't know what I'm doing. The guy who was shot is dead. Apparently there was an off duty police in the grocery so he took after the suspect but I don't know if they have caught the suspect. I just told Jason that I just wanted to be home for New Year's eve. We were supposed to go to Pentagon Row to skate for New Year's eve, by then I was having cramps and I knew it was stress related so I decided to stay home. There were a lot of people who was doing last minute shopping, and even a little boy of 12 years old was there when the shooting happened. There must be about 20 people outside when it happened. I found this article in the news, not much information but at least there are some information. :: posted by topazfae :: 10:12 AM :: 2 comments ::
