Writer's Diary

Saturday, June 11, 2005

I have had the world's stupidest day. OK, most irritating day. First, I goofed around and cleaned a closet. Then when I was finally going to get some work done, my desktop computer seems to have died on me. I had to reinstall the OS. Well now it wants the product key, which I no longer have. Tip: 24 hour MS support is a lie. So instead of being like a normal person and working off the laptop, which I am now, I have spent the last I won't even say how many hours looking for the Product Key. I found many, many things, most of them useless (I threw them away) none of them the product key. I will deal with this tomorrow, but I'm --censored word -- gosh darned upset. Sigh.. Some days are better off skipped, you know?

At first glance I thought you were saying 24 hour manuscript support. And I was, like, where the hell do I sign up? Hope things have improved!!

Hah! My mistake. I should have typed 2h hour M$ support (for Microsoft). 24 hour MS support. Nirvanah. There otta be a hotline for desperate authors.

"Hello? My middle is sagging, my hero is a wimp and there are too many adverbs."

[24 hour MS supportitian aside: "Got a live one!" To desperate author: "Deep breaths. Calm down. Thaaat' right. I'm gonna talk you down..."

"I've been on hold for 20 minutes! In the meantime, a supporting character has completely run off with my plot. What do I do?"
