One of Those Days, Ya Know?

*WARNING...MILDMANOURED RANT AHEAD!*
Today, I woke up at the crack of stupid to review and print my bioanth report due in for noon. This was all going according to plan, however "why be dull" thought my computer. When ever some one asks me about A.I. (artificial intelligence) I always reply "computers KNOW when you need them to work, cause they don't!!!" Well, my poor little lap top decided to be "intelligent" this morning, because he wan't playing nice. *grumble grumble grumble* It was all down hill from there...I will explain:
1. While waiting for the lap top to boot up (which took forever), I got ready to fly out of the house gathering all my stuff.
2. I set the printer working, and continued gathering
3. I came upstairs to see that my lap top shut off (it has a bad habit of this) and had cancelled the printing.
4. Ed came to help me (Thank you, Sweety!!!) though the lap top still was not cooperating (petulant child).
5. When trying to start the computer (again), it shut off straight away...then finally booted up.
6. When Word Perfect was up, and the file opened, the printer command cause the programme to freeze not one, or twice, nor thrice...but four times *expletive deleted* Plus, there was a message on the screen saying something like: 'you're computer crashed during a backup, and did not log off properly, therefore some files may be lost' I didn't realized they usually log off before crashing?!
7. Ed to the rescue (this 10 minutes before it's due, by the way) he saved the file onto his mp3, and with tears down my face, I pelted out to Tom's (house mates) car, cause he gave me lift (Thanks Dude!).
8. Then for the next 30 minutes, I ran between Marlowe (anth building) and the Lib trying to print this *expletive deleted* report off.
9. During which, I encountered 5 obstacles: It was suggested I go and try to print it off in the Lib, instead of just handing in the mp3; then the mp3 wouldn't fit in the usb ports on the computers in the Lib!; I went to get a "usb extention cable" (you learn something new everyday) which then worked in the Lib computers; but the Corel file wouldn't open in this version of word *quite explitive deleted (it was a lib after all)*; so I emailed the file to myself, the lady I was handing it into, and my professor; which we then realized that both she, and my prof couldn't open it *polite expletive deleted (I was in the presence of teachers!)* The conclusion I have come to today is that things come in 3 cubed!
Two good things that have come about today is that I had a great coffee/chat with Kayleigh; and the (usually) mean vending machines in the lib cafe gave me two mint aero bars ("the bubbles!"), for the price of one! :)
I 'm going to have a stern discussion with my lap top tonight to make him understand concequences of his actions!
Moral of the story...hand write everything!!!
