Yes, it's Computer Annoyance Day Okay, I finally installed frippin' SP2; I couldn't avoid it anymore, and I wanted that stupid Windows Update icon to get out of my system tray. So I clicked it and let it do its thing; and, five reboots, four hours, three Blue Screens of Death, two error reports, and one Symantec LiveUpdate later, my computer's working about as well as it did before. I think. (I'm still having trouble with my Yahoo! e-mail account, but I don't think that's related.) Well, at least the time I spent waiting (and waiting and waiting) for SP2 to install gave me a chance to rearrange the office supply cabinet (I was tired of not being able to reach anything on the top shelf), clean my desk (sort of; I got some of the finished projects off it, anyway), and pay my bills. I also passed some time with my Tiny Universal Waite Tarot deck, which lives in an Altoids tin in my purse; the first three cards I drew, just as the SP2 installation was initializing, were the Fool, the Devil, and the Magician. Hm...Microsoft is foolish, evil, and tricky? Hey, the cards said it, I didn't. (That is, of course, not an actual reading of the cards; they're much more subtle than their titles suggest. But those three titles really were amusingly apropos.) [ at 4:44 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
