Computer perversity

[rattfan]

This is a test post. My comp has been misbehaving for days and seeming sluggish. So I have organised professional help (for the comp, not me). Today, the day of the appointment, the comp is behaving, seemingly perfectly. I've done everything I usually do on LJ except post. If I hear in 20 minutes that there is nothing wrong with it, I am probably going to have words with this machine.

Weather's warmer. Not warm but not the single-figure freezing mornings it's been for awhile. This is day off so I will later go to the gym and do a bit of food shopping. The rats will snooze and digest breakfast. I will continue trying to decide what is the best way to make it to Swanbourne during the big rail shutdown, when the central Perth station is closed for them to finish digging a new tunnel. M has organised with sister-in-law, hereby designated JO, because my brother is already J, to meet up on the Sunday. She knew about the travel problems. Didn't seem to make any difference to them. Everything has to suit JO.

End of test transmission.

This is longer than 20 mins, but I only just logged in. Looks fine to me.

It's not LJ as such, it's my computer, which has now been defragged and had Stuff Done to it. I could use LJ fine if I did so on my tablet comp, it was the desk comp that had problems.

Hola.

Hey my Mum just more or less told me to throw my disc golf game in case I upset male players by my winning.

*spits*

I'd have thought your mum had better sense than that. Sheesh. Destroy them all and dance on the corpses is what I say.

Thank *you*! I'm sure they would have been insulted to hear her say that too. I mean geez we still have the vote don't we?

As far as I know....Geez, if anybody needs their ego bolstering, *I'll* play some time....!

You realise this is the equivalent of having your supervisor stand behind you when something doesnt work and hey presto it all works fine?

Nah, Liz (computer fixer) wasn't here by the time it finished its defrag :-) But yes, when she was inbound, the comp woke up and did the whole, "I'm fine, I'm fine, you've spent money on me for nothing!"

It was lying, though. I can remember working in offices where the photocopier would stuff up badly, the repairperson would come and everyone would rush in with their stuff while he was still on the premises. One even asked him to, "Please just stand there while I do this!"

I trust all will now be well with desktop comp too.
