As you might have noticed this weeks post is a couple of days late. Part of that is due to computer issues I have been having this weekend. I tracked it down to a failed memory stick. I don't think that is the only thing wrong though as my keyboard connection also failed vie the PS/2 adaptor I was using. Now I have the keyboard attached through the USB port. That might not sound like much but added to the memory failure and the graphics card that was smoking in the wrong way in the summer and it all looks like a new motherboard is needed. I will also need to replace the memory. Luckily my son said he was getting me a new motherboard for Xmas though I will have to pay for new memory.
These woes were the icing on the cake for bad weeks. My load of unpaid overtime has increased as Christmas approaches. Not to surprising you might say but getting up for work at around half five in the morning and not see home until after six at night is very wearying to the soul. It truly makes you wonder how people managed when they worked sixteen hours or more a day. Of course that still happens in some parts of the world. If only those that ruled would find a way to end such hardships for the poor. Of course that may affect their business interest. Which in turn might mean they can't have that third holiday next year and we can't have that now can we? Hehehe.
Anyways I will need to wait to replace the memory till after the festive season I think. And then there is the tumble drier that stopped working. I already replace the washer using credit. Both those also decided they had had their day last weekend. They do say these things come in threes. Well with me it would be fours if you include the ASIC. Maybe that is a sign that things are going to get better. I hope.
