The odds of one’s monitor and computer failing within 24 hours of each other are probably rather slim. Nevertheless, I managed to get beat over the head with those odds over the weekend. The monitor failed Sunday, so I went out the next day to buy a new one. After I brought it home, I discovered that my computer wouldn’t power on. That necessitated a trip to the local repair shop to get the power supply replaced. Of course, these events transpired after I had already spent a significant amount on upgrade parts that are due to arrive later this week. I may have to get a seasonal job as a department store elf just to pay off my credit card bill. I’m sure Santa could use a little diversity on his staff and perhaps I can help the kids explain away their past bad behavior when Santa makes his standard annual inquiry.
I guess I can take some consolation in the fact that my new monitor looks pretty spectacular. The fishnets practically leap off the screen.
I enjoy reading your blog because of your wit and humour. As for holiday spending, I’ve already charged a lot on my credit card as I try to compensate some more for my child’s physical limitations and most toys’ inaccessibility. Come visit our family blog. It may not be as witty and sophisticated as yours, but it sure will get you a chance to meet my terrific son!
