I have two words for you all (I Never asked for this Edition)

Fuck Solitaire

This shitty old computer only lasts in short bursts because it's motherboard has some cracked component that's leaking very slowly, and as luck would have it, this is the only one that survived the surges that knocked out half the shit in my fucking restaurant and home.

And fuck me sideways the more I get into shit the more problems I find. The surges didn't just knock out our modem, they fried a fuck ton of wires and connections which I'm going to have to filter through and test one by one. And to top all this fucking shit off, the new modem the lovely internet overlords of my province have sent me is fucking defunct.

So, all I can do is play fucking solitaire. And I really don't dig fucking luck based games.

To be half assed productive, talk about your experiences with the shit computers and tech stuff throws at you, and your experiences treading through the minefield of tech support supplied via your wonderous internet overlords.

Update 2:

MFW I go downstairs and find out our fucking sandvich board just died. I spent the last two hours scrambling to empty something roughly the size of a freezer into every available fridge we have. Here's the kicker. It's the compressor on the back that's something wrong. Got the price check on how much it would be to replace the whole thing if it's burnt out. 1200 bucks.

sorry to hear

Fucking hell.
I feel for you.

I already replaced the majority of the broken shit, the lights and their ballasts completely, got all our computers up and running, but the last mess is this fucking modem and the mess of wires. There are five fucking computer based objects downstairs, all spread around the place. I have to go through every surge bar, every wire, every adapter, every single fucking link and cable that runs to all corner of the building through haphazard holes drilled through walls in the worst god damn places.

And over the past two days I've been going through the minefield of tech support trying to get a hand from them, and there's no dice. So a techie is going to come up from one of the larger cities in a few days, and fuck knows what that'll cost.

Seriously, fuck solitaire.

Man your life is depressing.

Not depressing, certainly not. But it's like rock climbing a mountain at a 90 degree angle some days.

I'm just waiting for the third strike on what happens today.

Fuck solitaire? FUCK YOU TOO BUDDY!

Yeah, Solitare sucks. The game is pre-determined, and you're just there to watch it unfold. Speaking of which, lemme try a few games.

If you can't beat a game of solitare in 2 minutes then that's just sad.

Get a PSU with surge protection.

Solitaire will stop working too.

No, I think Solitaire has something to do with it. I played five games earlier and beat them.

Solitaire being nice to me and not announcing that I have no more moves after two turns on the day that I have to tread through technical support minefields set up by my glorious Sasktel overlords and now shuffle like a madman to fit shit into fridges that won't fit.

Coincidence? I think not!

Get a PSU with surge protection.

See here's the thing. That didn't stop that from happening.

Get a surge resistant motherboard? Spend more money!

Too many dents in the bank accounts this year. Need to save up as much as we can. Winter's going to come in and smash everything up with a sledgehammer and a sack of frozen puppies.

Plus, it doesn't help that the business programs on the computers are non transferable without paying a ridiculous fee.

I beat solitaire in 1 minute 19 seconds (I think) this one time, see if you can beat it.

It's not your hard drive that's damaged yet.
