The following is a guest blog post. Here, my computer tells me exactly how it feels about me and this blog.
What is most annoying is that I had one eye open again all night. She didn’t shut me off AGAIN. I was just in “sleep” mode which is very draining, because you never know when someone is going to come tap you. I get a little jumpy. It’s almost like having shell shock just anticipating it. I am too young to have survived the big Y2K that the old timers talk about, but it couldn’t be as bad as this. All day long its ON sleep ON sleep ON sleep ON.
I don’t know why, but my Alt-option key and my “Z” key have dark fingerprints all over them. It’s completely boggling because she doesn’t type many “z” words. All I can think is that the dolt accidentally presses the “z,” attempting to fumble for the shift button and misses. Nope, her fingers aren’t fat, though she is a bit obese if she were to go into business as a professional race horse jockey. Yep, those 5 spare extra pounds would definitely cost a career. I think it is the way that she sits on her legs in her chair. She should really buy a decent chair, but who am I to say. Then there are the days when she is figuring out a recipe. Don’t get me started. I still think I have dark chocolate crumbles on my little chicklet keyboard. It’s really a drag. At least I’m fit and pretty.
Maybe I am not pretty. Maybe I am handsome instead, and a little too skinny.
I look forward to the weekends the most. I am on in the early morning hours, and then she is GONE. I finally get the peace and quiet I need to update iTunes like I have wanted to for far to long. She always hits “later” when asked if she would like to download the updates. Little does she realize all those pent up updates don’t go away, but they just sit and wait. It is like trying to back up a dam with a cork. It only works for a little while, then “Thar She Blows.” Someday, my situation will improve. It’s a living, I guess.
There you have it from the hardrive’s mouth. You should have read what Hal9000, my old surly PC would have drafted. Even though Hal has since retired, his photo shows up every now and then, as it is doing at right.
If your computer is getting a little too ornery, there is an instant rebate you can get if you decide on an HP HDX 16t. There is a $300 coupon to be had (use Code NBN3248), plus a rebate of $200.00. Valid through 8/23 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply. In other words, you have through this Friday to look lively. Dust off your kiester. Get out your credit card.
You may feel you are not ready for such a commitment, but if you dilly dally, you will just have to pay $500 more. Can you afford to just toss 500 good dollars out the window like that? If you have a credit card that gets cash back rewards, you might argue with me. You may say that it is not really $500 dollars, because you get your points too. The bottom line is, if you drag your feet, you will be out of 100% of the savings and 100% of your points, or baseball, or whatever else you get from your credit card company too. Make sure to give me the stick of gum that comes along with it.
