Siiigh.
“My CD-ROM doesn’t work. It must be Dell’s fault.” This isn’t looking entirely too pretty. … I could be here a while. Edit: Well, I may not be here all night at least. CD-ROM isn’t the problem. And her media card reader’s probably fine, too. Computer illiterate people who order … Read the rest

Things one should not do on one’s lunch hour.
