So I get to work and my boss tells me 'Come see this cool set of data!' I go over there and he has an old gateway computer on his desk. There's some sort of confidential information on it that we've been given access to, but cannot remove from the computer. Catch, battery is completely dead and they didn't leave a cord. We have 2 hours until they come pick up the laptop and we can't even turn it on. Did I mention that the laptop is an old gateway? We call RadioShack, they don't have any adapters that are 19 Volts. My boss keeps calling different electronic stores, my idea is to call User Services on campus. I call them, they don't find my request at all strange. They call back in 10 minutes and say they found one. I went and picked it up, and weee! The laptop worked! Then I spent the next 2.5 hours making sure numbers matched. I am SO tired of watching numbers. But I'm proud of my way of figuring out the solution to a problem.
Oh, and the toilet is broken. It just keeps running. Thankfully the drain is working fine, but the thing that tells it to stop dumping water in is even more broken. And I've TOLD my roommate to call. He swears he has... and that was a month ago. It's getting worse. Thankfully we don't pay for water. I'm not sure if my roommate has called or not, but I might end up calling tomorrow if I can get the number from him. This is getting silly. They are bad at fixing broken things, but this is getting stupid.
Oh, and the sun came out after work today. Now there aren't any clouds. Where did they go?
