My MacBook Pro is in the shop getting it's heat censors replaced. The other night after doing a system update it decided it didn't want to turn on. So I plug it in thinking maybe its just the battery needs to be charged (didn't know why though, it had like 50% when i got home), so when I plug it in the little battery on the top usually shows that it's charging, but this time it said "Batter Unavailable" I pop off the power cord and my laptop turns off...yay fun. So I make an apple appointment for after I get off work. Go in for my appointment and the guy runs a test on it, it shows that the battery is dead (don't understand how, it's not even a year old) and the test also showed that the heat censors that say to kick the fans on weren't working properly. So I take it home, back it up and on Sunday when I go down to San Antonio for mom's birthday dinner I grab my old black MacBook to use. I take my laptop in yesterday during my lunch break to do a "quick" drop off and the guys are complete morons. Apparently they did a system update that morning and nobody knows how to use it to check my computer in to drop off for repair. So 30 minutes later(half of my lunch...no rush guys, I'm not starving or wanting to sit and relax) They say they are just going to take it to the back and check it in, why they didn't do this to begin with I have no idea, but the guy comes out and brings me the paperwork to sign saying "Yes please fix my computer" and tells me "Well, we're going to run some test to see what's wrong" and i tell him, the guy that helped me Saturday wrote all about it in the report thing when he ran the diagnostic test and that it just needed to be fixed, but apparently they think i'm completely ignorant when it comes to computers or they don't want to read, so now I'm waiting for a call today for them to tell me that my laptop again failed the heat censor test and that the will be replacing them *eyeroll* I'm hoping that it won't take that long. This poor little MacBook that I'm having to use is just not as fast as my Pro. I have to get used to the mouse on this one again too, it doesn't have the "click anywhere" feature that my pro has. But hey I used this little laptop for almost 4 years, i think I might be able to survive with it for up to a week or so =p
Had a good weekend other than my poor laptop, Friday went to get some beers with Chris, Heather and Patrick at
The Hideout for some good beer and catching up. Switched shifts on Saturday with someone so Ididn't have to close (which the store happened to be doing at 10pm...eww) went to
Franks with Heather, Chris, Patrick and Ben, had some good drinks and a seriously good and spicy hotdog. Sunday morning Harley and me met up with the gang at Bastrop State Park for a picnic, I highly recommend going there, the hiking trails have some amazingly beautiful views. Then headed back home to drop Harley off, she was completely tuckered out from the picnic and the sun, and headed down to San Antonio to celebrate my mom's birthday with my grandma. (She loved her blanket, which I went down and gave her on Tuesday her actual birthday) Met up with Katie and got the rest of my money and gave her her blanket. Got introduced to her boyfriend, can't really say if I like him or not, didn't really get to talk to him. He introduced himself and then said he didn't watch tennis when Katie was asking me how to spell my last name and I said it was like the tennis players. So I will wait to pass judgement on this one =p
I bought Harley's Halloween costume last night at Target, all their Halloween stuff it on clearance for 15% off!! Best $7 I've ever spent on Harley thus far. For this Halloween she will be a mounted moose head he he he. I find it completely entertaining and think Harley looks absolutely adorable, Harley however looks like a completely abused puppy with the "Mom I will kill you while you sleep" look on her face. But she puts up with it, I don't leave it on her for long, it's a little big on her so if i don't tighten the this just right it will fall over her eyes and she looks like she's just moping about. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get a chase ^_^
Well kiddos that's all for now. We get to dress up for halloween at work this weekend so I need to figure out an "appropriate" costume to wear.
XOXO
