And The Weekend Is Half Over Already?!

Well, calling today interesting would be an understatement. Well, sorta. More like, really weird. As far as I can recall, there were only 4 actual events that took place today. I went with my dad to rent a ceramic tile saw, used said saw to cut tiles and put them in place in the kitchen (as a backsplash above the counters), ate dinner with the grandparents, and spent 2 and a half hours trying to fix my computer. 3 out of those 4 events are very closely related, in fact, each one of the three would not have taken place if the one previous to it hadn’t. The only exception to this is dinner with the grandparents. That would have happened anyway. But the first 2 events lead to the tragic failing of my computer. And you may ask yourself, how? I shall tell you.

After renting the equipment, my dad and I got to work tileing up the backsplash in the kitchen. We needed the saw to cut tile to fit around electrical outlets.
-Rule number one of electrical outlets: shut the breaker off before working around them
-Rule number one of breaker boxes: Label what breaker turns off what.
Bet you see were this is going. Anyway, so my dad was down there flippin all kinds of switches before he got the one for the outlets in the kitchen. Apparently one of those was the breaker to my room.
Unfortunately, my computer was on at the time, and when the power was cut suddenly, it couldn’t remember anything about the monitor, and so it was trying to broadcast some crazy signal and the poor screen was like “WTF are you trying to make me project, I don’t understand!!!” and so, 2 and a half frustrating hours of trying to fix my computer without being able to see anything (damn that’s hard) I was finally able to do it. THANK GOD! And now it’s like an hour later than I wanted to be up, but I need decompression time to let all the bad thoughts and frustration out. Pictures will be posted soon of the new kitchen tile. In the mean time, you must settle for the above pic strategically placed to make this post look shorter.
