technical difficulties...

so i am sure i have mentioned before that some electronic appliance or another seemed to be malfunctioning...constantly...but i don't know if i ever explained the whole thing properly. this comes up because the computer is officially dead. i broke down and made dave call the tech support guys for me...they kept making me do destructive recoveries of the system ie everything goes bye bye and you have to reinstall everything :( and i was sick of it and after talking to the guy for about 20 minutes the guy decides that its the computer, not the owner thats broken. i've been trying to tell them this since september (i got the computer in august) but they never believe me. so anyway its being sent to the magic computer house in the sky where it will be given a new soul. and i'm sad because i have to use the ones on campus or at dave's like i am right now. which i'm surprised he's letting me use it as he i am sure believes i am cursed with all things electronic. see i can't keep a cell phone alive for longer than a few months. very odd things start happening around me. i can't really wear a watch, they don't keep the right time, and i can rarely get anything to work right on the computer. even if i'm doing what i'm supposed to software will not install properly for me. simple tasks become impossible because i have bizarre error messages frequently. its quite a pain in the ass. but i'm used to it. i js twanted to share and let you know that i may be out of the loop until they send my baby back :(
**edit**
one thing i forgot to mention...when my computer died it took all the music on my ipod with it. all my audio books everything. all of it. i want to cry. its going back on slowly slowly. i have about 10 cds back on so far and i'm workin gon getting some of my favorite authors books back on there...sigh...just had to share
**edit 2**
so i also have had issues getting my template arranged the way i like and i think its finally fixed :)

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
