Shame on you lot for posting and not admitting to have achieved the obvious!! At very least you have achieved getting up and out of bed which IMO is a bloomin good start because some days, even that is a struggle!
Today for me:
-I actually got up and went to work (despite having been awake to 4am in agony and reading terrifying book to distract myself from pain)
-I managed to work and act normal and no one noticed i was off my face on codeine because i couldnt deal with the pain all day.
-errm.... I managed to drive the hour it takes to get home without falling asleep! I guess thats an achievement!! LOL
Might count my third achievement as having done some coursework if i can get up and go do it now... *ponders*
EDIT: Anti Anxiety meds make you feel horrible and its no fun when you still feel anxious in your head but not your body because your body has been zombified by the medication! Bleurgh. Though for a plus point... valium is fun, made me hallucinate flying cats... though.. im still convinced they were real LOL
Ah yes, I did state that achievement. Well, minus getting out of bed.
But... I have achieved winning 14 bucks today. For doing something that other people would probably ask for $30+...
So I had this client for a PC fixing job...
Had to install OS (XP SP3 is all that could be installed on that thing anyway), install all drivers (sound, video, camera) set up internet (username and password connection had to be created), downloading Winamp, VLC and Zion++ (client doesn't know how to use BitLord), create a secondary partition on C: for movies etc (client stated that it was an 80 GB HDD, but something did seem odd as initial partition had 81 GB. After formatting, I find out that in addition to those 80 GB, there were 110GB more of free space... so... not really an 80 GB)
Now, the problems with those:
1 - the HDD kept crashing. I blame a faulty SATA cable, as every time the PC was moved around there was a write error popping up and then everything crashed. The guy "fixed" those problems by ramming the pc.
Told him to buy a new cable and if that doesn't work, last resort is buying a new HDD.
2 - his internet works rather weird. It's not as convenient as my internet which has this tiny program that you put the username and pass and it just connects you to the server. His required creating the connection yourself and then putting in username and pass. Only that the client forgot his password... Cue calling his daughter to find the password, in addition to how to activate the internet for the modem.
I hate modems.
3 - Did I mention I hate modems? The time it took for me to download all the stuff off the internet that he needed (browser, internet security, .NET framework, Zion++)!!!
4 - Client was so sure his sound jack was put correctly. My dad had to point out that the speakers were placed in the microphone socket. I was wondering why the sound drivers had no effect on the pc. Well, in the end, there was music.
Well... At least I got the money, but my dad will start trying to blackmail me into giving him the money again...
