Not funny

Well, I think I'm meant to be stuck at the job I'm at. Last night while looking into ways to clean up my credit (one of which is getting a copy of my credit report) I saw that TransUnion had a careers section of their web site. What the heck. Checked and found a pretty fitting job located in Chicago. Not a commute I would look forward to, but if it paid well what the heck.

Half way through my computer crashed. Like as in won't boot again. It's the same problem I had months ago. I just need to get a boot disk to make it run scan disk. Problem is, even Posi doesn't have a disk. I don't remember how we managed it last night.

I'm only partially concerned. I really don't have money for another machine. Most of the none replaceable stuff is actually on a different hard drive right now, so that's cool. I'd lose a bunch of saved games. Woohoo.

Ah well. I'll save freaking out to when we can't get it to boot at all.

Oh, did I mention my resume is also on my machine?

Neah, if it boots as far as it does, the data's still there. It's just windows that's confused. If worse comes to worse I can pull your harddrive hook it up to my computer, run checkdisk from there, and put it back in.

What he said. If it's just Windows that's a mess, you can always hook it up to another machine, save the (pr0n) stuff (pr0n) you want to save, and repave over the whole bloody thing. I'm sure y'all have a fresh copy of XP somewhere, but if you don't I might be able to help out.

Actually I only have 2K at home. Never got an XP Pro CD with the computer. I'd be happy to stick 2K on the machine, but Data might object.

No, you can not put 2k on my machine. If I remember correctly that's the disk you used to force it into scan disk last time. I don't know, I wasn't there when you got it to work.

No worries, the pr0n is actually on the external 160g hard drive I just got. As well as all my mp3's. Tho I realized my updated palm date book is on there too (I haven't recently updated my palm).

And we don't have any xp disks.

Unfourtntly, babe, if the computer didn't do it your credit probally would have. As they are the "holders of all credit" they only hire people with good credit. And because it is part of their business it is legal. Sucks huh?

BTW, I can't wait to see you next weekend.

Well, it doesn't hurt to try. Depends on how they look at it. Do they look to see that you have bad credit, or if you are a risk. It's not like I thouhgt I'd get the job, but it looked good and I figured I'd try.

I can't wait either. *snug*
