Tomorrow, tomorrow!
To borrow a line from Annie, “Tomorrow is a day away.”
I have a new, non-broken Mac. I am having a hell of a lot of problems changing over from a PC. Where is the home key? The end key? Why is there no shortcut for a page break? Why is everything so small in word? Ack.
I also gave up my few afternoon plans in order to figure out a ride back to Best Buy (where they were *gasp* nice and polite and helpful, unlike Apple lady who made me want to hate the whole company).
BUT
I now have computer. I have been working on my curriculum for hours.
I am all packed to fly back to Philly tomorrow.
I have not been in contact with Jared, my insurance guy, but will call him from Dallas/Fort Worth about towing.
I 95% sure have a ride home from the airport.
Dacia and Wendy were kind enough to offer me their old phones!!!! Yayyy phone!!!
I still need to figure out how to work my remote desktop from this Mac (is that even possible?), how to get through security at the airport with 2 laptops (juggle?), and how to make my suitcase weigh less than 50 pounds, since I took a TON of books out of my messenger bag in order to fit the second laptop in. I also need to figure out my rental, whether I’ll be able to make the Sanger Symposium on Friday and Saturday, what to do about residual shoulder/neck/back pain, if I’ll ever feel like masturbating/having sex again, how to get to the office Friday, and dot dot dot etc.
In the meantime, I’m going to bed. My sister is pissed about the glow from the computer screen.
I thank every one of you for your kind words, wishful thoughts, etc. I really appreciate it, and hopefully will get back to my regularly schedule sexuality programing in the next few days.

Buying a Mac is like buying jeans from the gap: You’re paying for the name, the reputation, the image. You’re paying for the privilege of membership in an exclusive club. *yawn*
I bought my dual Core Intel 17″ laptop with all the bells and whistles from *GASP!* – MDG, and the thing is fantastic. I love it, it works great. Fortunately, I can maintain it myself, be a hard drive crapping out or a memory upgrade.. Can’t say the same for Mac tho. And what’s with the macbook Air? it’s stripped right down to nothing. Of course it’s thin! My Jeep would be lightweight too if it came with the windows, doors, tires and what have you stripped out of it. There’s something to brag about! It’s light as hell! Because anything I might need has been stripped and tossed!
Pfft.
anyways… I read back a few weeks. Discovered your blog via a random Google image search on “fetish photography”.
Sorry about your run of bad luck. I won’t say it’ll get better, but hey, if it gets worse, it’ll eventually SEEM better by comparison, right?
*virtual hug* Buck up. At least you’ll have lots of lemonade to get you through the summer. ;)
Oh, and you’re officially bookmarked. I’ll be back. ;)

Don’t worry, you’ll learn to love your mac. I got one a year or so ago because I needed to be able to know my way around OSX in order to get more jobs. After about a month I barely ever booted my PC anymore. Once you get used to it, you’ll see what the hype is about.
A glimmer of light. That’s progress. Fingers crossed for you. Good luck! :)
okey. first, congrats on switching.
