the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Argh. You know you’re in the sticks when…all the damn mechanics for 50 miles are closed the day /after/ the holiday. Even the dealer! #
• Also, you know you’re in the sticks when the idea of driving 50 miles to the mechanic’s is not an unreasonable one. #
• @smokes70 Oh my God, THANK YOU. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. #
• @chowbok Haha, brilliant. Is it actually for real? I can’t tell, it’s so improbable yet, I mean, people are pretty dumb sometimes… #
• Still no SNP ticket. :( :( :( :( :( #
• I hate Comcast’s support site. It’s all so whizbang you can’t open pages in new tabs or use back/fwd buttons effectively. Web design jerks! #
• Also, Dear Windows Mail: “Error Number 0x800CCC92″ is not, personally, what I would consider a particularly useful message to the user. FYI. #
• Does anyone have a more Grandma-friendly email GUI client suggestion than Vista Windows Mail, which makes me regret being born? #
• VISTA WONT INSTALL HOTFIXES IT JUST TELLS ME ‘FAILED’ SERIOUSLY GOING TO START TAKING HOSTAGES ANY MINUTE NOW #
• @shadow Haven’t tried it actually… Might give it a shot. Can’t possibly be /worse/, can it? #
• And okay, seriously, in the annals of bad errors, “An unknown error has occurred” is right up there on the WORST EVER list. #
• @shadow THUNDERBIRD CAN SEND EMAIL OMG OMG OMG YAY! #
• Windows Firewall blocking Windows Updates which kept Windows Mail from working. Nice interdepartmental communications there, guys. #
• omg. Just cleared ice/slush/goo off 2/3 of a double-wide driveway. So tired now. Someone bring me coffee and a donut; I’m too weak to move. #
• @sanityknit I don’t know… check engine light came back on. Suspect they did not actually fix the problem last time. :( #
• @jacklund Their features make me stabby. Also their errors. And really, their software in general. #
• Also, next time someone mocks me for using a Mac I’m just going to say, “Unexpected error 8007002E.” #

• @mizmoose Delivery? #
• Made it to P-Town. Cat made it all the way to Bloomington before barfing… And he aimed for the rubber floormat, good kitty. #
• OMG. Vista constantly popping up “Did you really click…?” windows for the stupidest things. WHINIEST, MOST CODEPENDENT OS EVER. #
• Ugh. I now regret giving my grandmother a computer with such an awful, awful train wreck of an operating system. I long for XP. #
• Wishing i had something profound to say. Stupidly left knitting in car; consequently, BOOORED. #

• One of my KnitPicks Options circular needles died today!! The cord pulled out of the screwy bit. I am shocked and dismayed. #
• @chowbok I love cat snores! They’re the best. Better even than chasing yarn balls in their sleep. #
• Tiger gets to go back to P-Town for the first time in…12 years?? Bet he still loves the roadtripping! #
• And Citi attempts to screw me twice in the same calendar month. So long, guys. Your poor money management skills are /not/ my problem. #
• Bottle of catnip spray worth its price just for the first time Kiyoshi rolls ecstatically right off the side of the ‘nip-doused footstool. #

• Every so often, my smoke detector chirps a couple times a few seconds apart, then goes silent for hours. Dying battery, or random taunting? #
• Someone is shooting off a ton of fireworks in the south loop, obscured by the hateful new high-rise kitty corner from mine. Can’t see! Boo! #
• Argh. Xmas plans all up in the air now. Stress stress stress. Also, MOAR SNOW-SLEET-SLUSH-ICE? DO NOT WANT #
• Having a slapfight with @smokes70 over Fourth vs Fifth Doctor. But only because HE IS CLEARLY WRONG. #
• @mizmoose Hey, who knew, you are also COMPLETELY WRONG. #
• @mizmoose Well, yes, Nine is full of win. That is an acceptable compromise. #
• Throwing up my hands in the air as once more an unannounced network outage screws over the work I was trying to get done. #

• OMG. I actually came home from Hammond *up*. By, like, a lot. I mean, not a /lot/ a lot, but, like, almost twice what I put in. #
• @mizmoose You didn’t have to tell me that! I had no idea we were in for more of this stuff… blah. #
• Forgot my laptop today, hence am stuck in Windows hell all day. On the bright side, Chrome actually is kind of cool. #
• @robotviki Was it Vonderbob in disguise? #
• TOMORROW’S FORECAST SUCKS. #
• So much hate for today, and the position I’m stuck in. #
