Shit Buckets and Snow Internet.
That's right!
Update time!
A shitty day was, the yesterday. There's no doubt about that.
I got through it though, like a champ. The champion of shitty days!
I did it so nice the world must have thought, "Hey! Why not? Let's make him do it twice!"
"Yeah! Great idea!"
Update
Time to close the laptop.
I finally hit the hay at about 5:05 a.m. today.
I noticed the time for the final but not last time I'd see the time today when I was asked if I'd like to:
So many options, but I already knew what to do.
Then I noticed something odd. Not odd in a strange way though. More like odd in an unusually peculiar way.
I wrote the word update several times in my previous post. I was becoming quite accumstomed to seeing the word update because it was written so, so very many times.
My eyebrows lifted when I went to shut down the PC and noticed the word update is once again staring me straight in the face. I wasn't expecting to see that word again so soon.
"Update and shut down," said the screenshot I never got a chance to take.
I thought to myself, sure! Why not?
Convenient, right! A large update, taking place, as I sleep. This 2018 future stuff sure is fancy!
So I smashed that button and went to bed.
Woke up quick, at about noon. Just thought I had to be on my laptop soon.
(Slipped in an Eazy-E reference right there. I was actually up at nine.)
I opened the laptop after supplying a few needs with their desires. As in, I took a piss and grabbed a coffee.
Still Updating
It said, "This might take several minutes."
So with all of my might; I did my best to just deal with it, drink my coffee, look out the window, walk to another window, look out that window, walk to the laptop, observe. Still updating.
But I have shit I need to be doing, Mr. Update.
Shit that never ends, Mr. Update.
Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit, Mr. Update!
Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit!
(Slipped in a Mighty Ducks reference right there. It should 'quack' instead of shit though.)
Another Day Without Internet
When the update finally finished, the PC crashed.
After all that waiting and bird watching, I was greeted by the most hideous sight any member of the PC Master Race will ever have to face in their entire lifetime.
Yup.
The Blue Screen of Death.
Then, nothing.
Several reboots later; still nothing.
Luckily for me, as well as you, because you like reading this shit; I knew just what to do.
Rather than calling that guy on the phone who pretends to be busy and puts people on hold for thirty minutes just so he can recommend unplugging the damn machine after he's finished jacking off, I got straight to work.
Ain't nothing to it but to do it.
I didn't really want to do it though. I knew the entire process of resetting would be the easiest but also take a long time. The thing is, the only time I run out of patience is when I run out of time. I'm on a strict schedule here.
Piss - coffee - laptop.
Needless to say, I saw a lot of birds today.
Sparrows, chickadees, crows, and a pigeon chasing a magpie.
"At least they get to have fun," I said, to myself, out loud for some reason.
I made it out alive.
Minor scrapes and bruises.
Sure, it took all day, but I'm back in business.
The birds never got a chance to peck my eyes to death so that's good.
The best part is; it smells like a new car in my laptop now! Purrs like a kitten. Works like a charm.
Isn't that exciting!
So That's Two Days In a Row
What are the odds?
Two days in a row and I'm swinging at curve balls while life decides to take a shit down my throat.
Speaking of balls. I wonder if the world has enough balls to throw shit at me for three days in a row?
Hey world!
I'm up two!
Are we making this a best of seven?
I hope not. This is getting old and moldy.
Then, quite suddenly and for no apparent reason, this Dickhead Clown with Eyes popped up out of the water that didn't even exist until now.
