i really need to clean up my place.

About two weeks ago I started having problems with my computer so last Sunday I took my computer into the office max over on Gratiot and Masonic.
The problem that I was having was that when I would play a dvd or even run the Norton 360 scan the screen would almost scramble in the same sort of way when your tv screen would go fuzzy.
And then when that would happen the lights on the keyboard of my computer would stay on but the keyboard would not respond.
The only way that I could get my computer to work again would be to take the battery out of it.
My computer is an hp pavilion dv2000.
In other words it’s a laptop that is about two years old now, maybe a little older than that now.
The computer fixer at office max said that it was the ram or rom drive in my computer and he recommended having that replaced.
I think altogether the repair cost like $170 (u.s.) dollars.
They had to do a diagnostic scan which cost seventy dollars, which is how they found out that the ram or rom was bad.
The ram or rom cost like 70 dollars and then the maintenance that was required to put that part in my computer was another 30 dollars.
I don’t know if those are considered reasonable prices or not but my laptop is working properly now so I’m happy.
The cost of the fix didn’t hurt me too much so I’m not worried about the cost as long as I don’t start having the same problems again.
I got my computer back on Tuesday after work and then after I took my laptop home I immediately put it to use and I got the same problem again so I was going to bring the computer back this weekend to office max but then when I started watching videos online I think on Friday or Thursday I didn’t have any problems with it.
I watch movies on Netflix.com a lot and then I also rent dvd’s from Netflix as well.
Tomorrow I think I am suppose to go to the tigers game with my dad and brother but I don’t really want to go because I have been having problems with my digestive system.
Anyways, as far as my laptop goes I was really worried that the problem was that conficter virus that the media was saying was going to be coming out on April first and that they weren’t going to be able to fix my computer.
Well, like I said, I think they did fix it.
I really hope my dad doesn’t really give a hard time about not going to the tigers game with him.
On Tuesday at work pft is going to be starting.
Pft is a breathing test and like I think I mentioned before I work in the ct department at the office that I work at.
I can’t really tell you where I work but I can tell you that the ct department where I work is separated from the rest of the diagnostic department simply because they couldn’t fit the ct machine into the same office where they do ultrasounds and mammo-grams.
Anyways, the office buildings that the ct scan and the rest of the diagnostic department is located in is near a hospital and in the hospital we used to have the pft’s department.
On Friday they moved the pft stuff into my office.
And then on Tuesday pft will start seeing patients.
I’m not looking forward to this.
Thankfully crystal, who normally works in the other part of the diagnostic center will be working with me on Tuesday.
So maybe it won’t be too bad.
I have a feeling that its going to be a very difficult and stressful day on Tuesday.
I’m concerned because I think its going to be too much extra work for me and the ct part of the office is going to suffer because of it, and also the waiting room area of the office is already small and on almost everyday all the chairs become occupied.
So I know we’re going to run into this situation even more.
I’m not really looking forward to the coming week.
That is it for tonight.
Good night.
