When Computer Monitors Go Down...

I have been thinking and observing this weird PC breakdown for a while now. First time I encountered this problem was in the office. A colleague reported a PC breakdown and sending this message to us all. After reading his e-mail, I just can't believe that this is a sudden machine breakdown since my experiences with troubleshooting PCs tells me it is NOT. Well, anyway I turned the reported PC on and yup, I got nothing on the screen. Monitor light is amber but I'm hearing beeps from its CPU so no problem on its main brain. I started dismantling the wires at the back and I happen to take the ethernet cable out of its PC port. After that I turned the PC on and to my surprise, I finally got some output.


I was really puzzled... but if this happens to you, you just needed to take out your ethernet cable and turn your PC on. I think there's some conflict with the NIC and the video card and this TS really works. No clear reason as to why this troubleshooting step works but as long as it fixes your computer, to hell with the reason.

I managed to use this troubleshooting step again yesterday when a neighbor experienced the same problem and my discovered troubleshooting step above works geniusly. I got the PC monitor back up and normal...

Updates... updates... updates... and updates...

As usual... I can't spell out my mood again right now. I don't know if I am being confused of my feelings for someone but I'm sure it's not what you think or maybe I'm just denying the fact that I can feel and I know it's a total bummer. I hate the fact knowing that I can feel something romantic because I am used to being alone and I have already accepted that I will never ever have a boyfriend in my entire fucking life.

Anyway, someone phoned me the other day and it's from Korea. An APEC representative is inviting me to attend a meeting which will be held at Philippine World Trade on November 18, 2008. She sounds cute. Well her accent is kinda funny but it's cute... Funny in a cute way like me sometimes... LOL Well I am pretty much sure I will attend the meeting and the thing is my mom wants to attend as well, not sure if it's possible though...

On the other hand, I decided not to come to work today and I have already asked permission to one of my supervisors which is sooo.. sooo.. lenient and you know what happened next. It's my dad's day today so I needed to come home. The mere fact that my housemates tolerated me to pursue my plan is very convincing. I just laughed it all out and sent a message to my superior which happens to be a good idea rather than just not showing at all. After my shift, my other girl-housemate and I went home and slept a little and then after that by ten she left for home. I continued my nap which is literally a nap since the boys woked me up. We were watching some movie and there, they adviced me that since it was my dad's birthday today I should go home and relax and be non-productive which I happen to get a little anxious at first. I was about to prepare and pack my things but they kept me in the house until the food is done so that we can eat together. That's so sweet, my tear almost fell-off my cheeks.

Moreover, I got home by 5 in the afternoon and still a little anxious about my decision. I just hope this will not cause any problem in the office...
