stormdogI was going to do something useful tonight; I swear I was. And I guess I did; I finally put the new belt that came in the mail on Monday on the washing machine. The washing machine works now. We'll see if the belt breaks for a third time, this time with the manufacturere's part rather than something we picked up at a hardware store. If so, I'll have to assume there are problems with the transmission or something else, and we look at a new used washer. But for now, it works. This would be much cooler if the belt on the dryer hadn't broken on Wednesday when I tried to dry some stuff I washed at my parents' house. *sighs* I wonder if all the mechanical stuff around here will ever all work at the same time. I wonder if that's one of the signs of impending apocalypse.
So, yes, was going to do something useful. Then I fell asleep. I made a valiant effort to stay awake and exercise or clean up or something, but after a wonderful dinner of nachos from the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wooisme, I spent ten minutes sitting on the couch telling her I wasn't going to fall asleep and then promptly did. I was awoken about the same period of time ago by her coming home from a shopping trip and feeding the dog. I was really tired this morning too. I overslept and missed my ride to work with Evil Bob. I ended up getting there by myself about twenty minutes late. I got a note from my manager indicating that I should tell her when I'm going to be late; not just my team lead, who I called before running out the door. *sigh* I don't think well in the morning.
*shrugs* At least I'm awake now. I don't know why, but sitting in the dark and watching a movie as she is doing now is a little bit too much sensory input for me right now, so I'm going to work on the laptop I brought home from work instead. And maybe clean up my computer room while I do that. Yeah, that would be good. I should look around online for somewhere I can order this dryer belt too. This dryer is a monstrous old beast; I think it may take a little bit of luck for the part to still be available.
In the meantime, I'm VPNd in to my work network and installing all the tools that I'm going to need to replace my old Dell GX110 with this new HP NC6400. Yeah, I should probably do it at work rather than spend time poking at it over the weekend, but I don't ever seem to have time there, and the sooner I can get that big beige monster off my desk the better. Staring at a laptop screen in the dark and installing server admin tools. Woo-hoo; I just don't know if my heart can take this kind of whirlwind excitement.
