It`s been a month since I lost my computer.
To say I`m pissed doesn`t even begin to cover it. The fucking thing was only two years old, and is now totally useless. It took all of a second for me to lose contact with my family and friends, to lose my ability to find out things I need to know, and one second to lose my hobbies.
I spent a month contacting a bunch of different people to see about getting it fixed. I`ve spent much of the time just waiting for people to fucking get back to me, and that`s beyond frustrating.
HP said they could fix it, but they`d have to pick it up from an address in the U.S., and after spending weeks trying to arrange sending it to someone, I find out laptops can`t be mailed overseas, as they`re considered dangerous goods.
I sat outside the post office and cried for half an hour that night.
Then I finally got in touch with someone in Tokyo who said they could fix it. They opened it up and said the motherboard was fried and would have to be replaced.
Today I left work with a phone message simply saying to give them a call, which I`ll have to do later, since they were closed by then.
And, ya know, I wouldn`t be at all surprised if they said they couldn`t fix it after all.
And then what? Do I buy a new computer? But it`s not that easy. Do I buy a Japanese computer, or an American one? If I get an American system, and it needs to fucking be fixed in two years, then what? Do I have to then buy another brand new computer? If I have problems, am I just going to again be told nobody around here can help with foreign systems?
If I buy a Japanese one, will I be able to get my programs on it? Because I am not buying a Japanese version of Photoshop, but I only have a copy of the English version.
Hopefully, my laptop will be alright. I don`t want to lose what`s on it. Mostly the programs, but also all the stuff. I have some 2,000 doll pictures alone on that thing, not to mention all the fanart, music, and videos. Pictures of my family, pictures of Kurama, stuff I can never get back if it`s lost.
All I can do is sit and wait, and I HATE IT SO MUCH.
I`ve been so depressed.
On a side note, if anyone is curious as to what I`ve been doing in the past month... I bought a [pink] PS2, and have been playing a lot of `Smash Hit 2`, where I learned Tachibana`s greatest joy is hitting Atobe in the face with tennis balls, while Renji`s shots seem to gravitate to Tezuka`s chest. Let`s just say, team TAT came out of those matches very, very bruised.
