piploverI think I must have pissed off some kind of tech God. I had to redo my computer's operating system on Wednesday, because it only gave me the black screen of death when I turned it on, and today my cable box started smoking before totally dying.

Doh!
I got it unhooked and turned everything off, but my place smells of burnt bacon and I can't watch my cable. Also, I hadn't yet watched the new Supernatural, and I'm pretty sure it's lost now. Grrrrr.
The tech is supposed to come out tomorrow, hopefully to fix my box (HA!) or give me a new one. Until then, I guess I'll just have to make do with watching Granada's Sherlock Holmes and perhaps reading a book tonight. Oh, the horror! (Snicker)
Still... Kind of miffed about losing all the shows I had saved. Not to mention it's going to cost about 100$ to get the computer diagnosed and fixed. Since I've missed so much work to being sick, my paycheck has been pathetically small, so it may be a few weeks before I can take it to get all the bugs out. Sigh. It always comes down to money.
Oh, well. I hope you all are faring better than I. Take care, and have a safe and happy weekend!
