as inaction.

 

And it's easier, to boot! 

 

Before I forget:

Right, so last night, I have this guy, right, in spencerport. So he tells me how to get to his place. He says "lyell st. Don't confuse it with lyell ave." He says this twice, because I have it written down twice. Google maps seems to suggest the same path, so I leave at 9:30 to go there. I turn onto "lyell ave" before realizing, "oh, right,  he warned me about that, I'll keep going." Three miles later and I begin to wonder where this mythical street is, exactly. It's way the freak off someplace, but close enough that, okay, maybe something odd is going on, I'll make my way over there. He gave me some other street names- mile street, glen haven drive, I can find neither of these streets, or Hickory Street (my ultimate destination), on my map. I don't have his phone number written down so that's out. I think about calling mom to look up where the heck I am, but decide against it. So I head off to Lyell St, thinking maybe there's a huge new development over there not on the map. I go from one end of this street to the other. No Hickory lane. I stop and consult the map again. I have now been driving for 40 minutes. I figure, what the heck, I'll go down Lyell Ave just for kicks before I blow all of spencerport into atoms and claim it was Perfect Cell. (though honestly I always blame him, and people are starting to get a little suspicious that's I'm the sole survivor of so many Cell attacks) Oh look, there's the freaking street I want! Thanks for making me almost an hour late by telling me, twice, the wrong street to go down, you clown. (little rhyme there) So I do whatever\whatever over there, and just make it to my 12:30. 

 

More nonsense. He's got the USB cable plugged into the ethernet port of his printer. Brilliant! Well done! But oddly it won't scan? I take the software off because who knows what he's done, and it wants to reboot, Windows favorite activity. Too bad he's now left, isn't answering his phone, and his account is password protected.  So I wait around fifteen minutes, no call back, thanks a bunch. 

 

But at least, at LEAST, the weather was nice, right?

 

Off to number three. He insists on using superantispyware even though it slows his machine down, he has to pay for it, and I have no idea how good it is. But it won't update. So for an hour and a half I try to beat it into submission. I think it's the crappy Norton product he also insists on keeping around somehow blocking it. But after that long I say, forget it, and show him how to manually update it. He wants to use it, fine, he can feel the pain. So I explain what to do (open firefox, go to bookmark, hit link, etc) and he sits down. He ignores all this and opens s.a.s again and hits update. I'm like, were you listening at all? But bizarrely, it works now? HUH? I just roll my eyes and offer up a small prayer to please let this day be over. So as I can't say if it's fixed or not, because for the last hour and a half it didn't, or what the problem is, I didn't change him. 

 

So basically, a totally worthless day! Yay!

 

Went home and worked on that system that got dropped off. They just came a minute ago and got it, so hopefully it'll be fine for them. So I at least accomplished that much.

 

Made some phone calls, booked most of tomorrow. Am I going to Sean's? I'm not even sure, truthfully. I think I know I'm going Saturday, maybe?  But we spoke of doing more world hopper friday, but then said discussion went noplace. Guess I might call him, or something, maybe?

 

I'll probably get ready for tomorrow now, then ??? and step 3: PROFIT! I just have to write a bestselling book about a young wizard who goes to a boarding school and- what do you mean it's already been done???
