Where's a pitchfork when you need one?


I've been having the worst tech-month as far as I can remember. First, my home computer broke down, and isn't fixed yet, it doesn't boot from any windows CD. In a rare retail therapy, I plopped down an insane amount of money and bought a new Samsung LCD monitor, which looks cool. And that's all it does, until the computer is repaired, I suppose. My office computer also became paraplegic, but my efficient IT manager gave me a brand new PC with twice the memory, so I'm really happy right now.

Next, my DVD player has been extremely erratic. I had to eject the final episode of Nip/Tuck six times before I could watch the ending. I'll have to replace the head, or buy a new one.

My home ISP just came and took away the ethernet cables, because they thought I switched provider. I had to yell at them, and after couple of choice curse words later, they sneaked back and gave back my cable. Now only if the PC worked.

And finally, the devils at iTunes (whoever said "Mac... it just works" should be maimed and shot violently and fed to wild dogs, you know who you are) launched the f&*$ing version 7, which must be the worst software update of all time. It ate up all my songs from my Nano, and asks to get it reset to factory settings. So I have a cool looking black Nano which has no songs in it.

Somebody scream on my behalf. I don't think I can do it myself.
