We are x0Kiss0fDeath, but we're really quite far from where you live.

I do absolutely love scotland...but the commute on a regular basis might be a tad far! haha

So apparently IT has been trying to fix a broken laptop for the past week.  It sounds like a delivery truck with it's reverse beep on.  And they've been at it ALL DAY.  WTF?  Just put the thing in a dumpster and call it a day.  NOT WORTH SAVING!!!!!

Wow. Yeah that's beyond repair! I'm surprised they don't have a room of their own for doing noisy repairs in. The amount the company spent on them trying to fix it is probably the same as new equipment at this point!

Those beeps are error codes, telling them what is wrong with the laptop.

Shouldn't take them all day to fix it if they're from POST. Those are pretty straight forward!

Not if POST is OK and it is the hardware. The beeps are usually the error codes from the relevant make of motherboard to say what hardware has the fault, or on a laptop, it can be dirt stuck in the keys. A loose graphics card can beep too, on a desktop at least.

I was at the hairdresser on Sunday.  It is now Thursday and NO ONE has mentioned the change of colour, and change of style.  I take this to mean it looks awful/stupid/ridiculous/etc and people are choosing to ignore it, rather than to acknowledge it.  Now I feel like I want to dig a hole and let the earth swallow me up.

I imagine that's not the case at all! I bet they are either unobservant or observant enough to know something has changed and they *think* it's your hair but they're afraid to ask in case they're wrong.

Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic.  But I do feel embarrassed.  :-[

The only hair anyone should be embarrassed about is if they are copying Trump's hairstyle.  If you don't have an orange/white comb-over, I suspect there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Can we actually even call that "hair"? Do you think it's even made with real human hair?
