Did I say I was ready to pull my hair out in my last post ? What I really meant to say was pull my eye balls out, reach in and yank my brain out through my eye sockets! All while banging my head up against the wall. How’s that for frustration ?

After days of working on Allison’s iBook, we finally had it working perfect for her. I was so excited, I was ready to download and install the parental program last night to keep her safe online and then she could play all the Webkinz her little heart desired. Well, guess what? The iBook she has is only capable of using 800 x 600 screen resolution and that doesn’t work with Webkinz! I can’t even tell you how mad I was to find this out! I was online for over three hours last night reading up on how to change this. I spent most of that time on Apple support sites looking for help. They all say it can not be done with out spending more money on replacing major parts. I surfed the net and downloaded a program that claimed to change any screen resolution but of course had no luck.

Between these two iBooks at home and my infected computer in the office, which is still not fixed, I have been eating, sleeping and showering with computer issues on mind nonstop for over a week now, I have even been dreaming about it all.
Something has to give. The Clamshell is going back on Ebay tonight.

That is what my Monday has been, nothing but problems.
I spent most of my day fighting with my computer at work. Even though we had an IT guy come out and it seemed better when he was done, it was even worse then before by the time I left. So tomorrow should be just as fun for me as today was. After playing around with the two stupid Mac laptops all week and then fighting with the computer at work all day today I am ready to pull my hair out.

This computer was finally delivered yesterday and we have the same issue! We can’t get either Mac to work online with our wireless internet password on. My husband has spent hours on this and is still stumped, it’s really frustrating. Why do these things have to be so difficult ?

So far, this Mac has turned out to be a big headache. It’s working online through an Ethernet in to the cable modem but it moves slower then the dial up we had years ago. As for Allison’s the Clamshell iBook still wont work with the wireless password and our modem is in the basement, where she will not be plugging in and hanging out.
So.. so far neither Mac is getting any use. As of right now, I am wishing I would have just bought the girls PC laptops. 

For a quick minute I thought I was feeling better. I felt so rested and energized this morning when I first got to work. I did get a lot of sleep last night thanks to doctor Nyquil and nurse Sudafed. Then an hour later BAM, nope, not better, still sick. In fact I am even more stuffy and my ears are even more plugged than yesterday. At least I am not sleepy today. It’s still going to be a long Friday.

My ears are now plugged and they keep ringing. Oh, and my nose is red and it’s sore. I hate being sick and I feel the need to whine a little. I know I am such a baby.
Good thing my husband is so patient and he loves me.

Thats all. Time for more meds. No more whining. 

I woke up still sick and as I drove to work this morning I am feeling even worse. Damn, I hate being sick. I am taking Sudafed and spraying a prescription Flonase up my nose every four hours. Just an FYI, don’t mess up in the middle of the night and get Flonase in your eye, my eye still hurts five hours later. I hate being sick, have I said that ?

Now I know why I was so moody and cranky yesterday. I woke up this morning not being able to breathe, my ears plugged and it feels like some kicked me the head. Damn it, I don’t want to be sick.

Even though the last few days have been great I am moodier then heck today. I am not sure if it is my sugar, hormones, or if it’s stress but I am one mean moody chick right now. I think I hear a tall glass of red wine calling my name when I get home. I just need to get through the next hour and a half here in the office and then my forty minute drive home first.

In light of my last post and freaking out I decided to stop in a local pizza place that had been advertising for part time help on their flyer’s to see if they would hire me for a couple evenings a week. The lady pretty much laughed at me. Said she mainly hires mouthy teenage boys that I would have to deal with and pointed out it gets easily over a hundred degrees in there in the summer time. I told her I could handle the heat and the boys with out a problem but when I said I have mostly just office experience, I could see the look on her face. It was like yeah, right! She said she would keep me in mind but I doubt I’ll hear from her. I am pretty bummed because it’s literally a couple blocks from my house.

I just read that gas prices are expected to hit $5.00 a gallon in my area over the next month or two. WTF? I drive forty minutes each way to work and it’s killing me at $4.09 a gallon already. The cost of gas is effecting everything. I see it when I go to the grocery store big time. With no sign of relief or pay raises in sight it’s really freaking me out. How much more can it cost to just live? 

I am not digging it !
