Daily battles with fear

As they say: "Scared as an egg"

Something scares me nearly every day. A little or a lot, either way I get frightened easily. For instance! There was a customer that bought a P.C. from me yesterday. Software included, it was a hefty sale. He was happy, we were happy, he left. Early this morning he came in and asked if he could swap his desktop for a laptop. WHY!? Because his wife wanted him to purchase something "mobile"... Leaving aside the fact that he didn't consult his handler prior to buying a heftily-priced P.C., this scared me because I wasn't even sure what to do :1 I told him I'd need to consult the Great and Mighty Boss-lady on the matter.

I know it's a situation that is not riddled with despair or suffering, in the worst case scenario I just have to receive the desktop and book out a laptop. I get scared anyway! Stoopid worrisome brain. I bet I'm just scared of the trouble it'll cause me, thanks to my extreme laziness. Good news is the guy came back, after consulting his handler, and all is well. The solution lay with all their existing mobile devices (e.g. her laptop, their phones and tablets... They'll be fine). He took a WiFi dongle to avoid cluttered LAN cables on the walls and left us as a Happy Chappie. Yay! I narrowly avoided a mildly irritating situation. Smooth B)

To keep some form of consistency for the week, I shall write more on the subject of fear in my next post!

More of a hobby, to be accurate

A sustainable schedule!

You will have to wait for that next post!!! From today onwards I shall aim to update 3 times weekly! Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Why? Because I wanna. Firstly, it's tricky to get a post out every day. Secondly, I need to actually do stuff to blog about! So I'm taking the weekends off too, I get laziest on those 2 days :P

If you have a problem, take it up with life. Life is unfair though... Don't expect to get a friendly response. Life can also be a little b***h at times, so don't take it personally!

Yours truly in the written word,
Benjamin- HOORAH!

A cockroach burning!

Random, I know...

To give you an almost-accurate idea
as to how we spent our Saturday

On Saturday we burnt cockroaches. My colleague, one of the technicians where I work, found the root cause of a Lenovo Laptop's psychological issues - he/she/it was being walked all over by wretched roaches. They were burrowing through its brain, so to speak, wreaking havoc on the poor guys'/girls'/things' state of mind. So the motherboard was completely destroyed. In a desperate and slightly sadistic attempt to protect our workplace from an infestation, we put the critters on a metal plate and in a pool of alcohol. And lit those suckers up!

I just hope we got all of them...

On another note, that same colleague is now sick! On his second day off in a row (100% longer than I've ever seen him away from his desk) and by the sounds of it he's no closer to recovery. I'm wishing you the best Carlos, get well soon! The sooner the better, because I can't take a day off until you're fully healed ;)

Seriously though, please don't die!

ANOTHER!

...Note - Another note. I brought a new keyboard! Specifically for gaming! What the hell was I thinking!? I don't have time to game! Foolish dream world I got sucked into. It looks really nice though! The Armageddon AK-300, with dazzling yellow gaming keys. Then I saw them in red... Dammit! I want red! IT'S NOT FAIR! (throws toys out of cot)

This is not a picture of my exact keyboard, just a pic from the inter-webs.
I haven't photographed my keyboard and probably won't.

I'm just kidding, I don't have a cot. (throws toys off bed, feeling anger and loss upon realising that I have no cot)

Oh boy, I can't wait to play a game - any game - with my new keyboard! Although, rather frustratingly, I can't figure out how to detach the black keys so that I can fit my yellow keys into place. If all else fails and I accidentally smash it into 1000 tiny, broken and incinerated pieces in a fit of rage then I could always just replace it with the same model that has red keys :D

And then find out how to change them properly.

Seyonara foolish humans!

P.S. If you are not in fact foolish, please disregard my farewell and have a lovely day. You are a special being that is loved and your existence has great meaning in this world.

Farewell blessed beings!
