I'm in a relationship with Geek Squad

It's true.  We're totally on again/off again, but last night?  It was SO on.

I linked up with them to fix a Java issue on my laptop.  Both colleges I attend use Java as part of their blackboard ecampus system thing-a-ma-jig, but one school prefers Internet Explorer while the other prefers Firefox.  The only problem is, the latest version of Java isn't compatible with either one of them.  It should've been an easy fix, but have you met me?  Rarely do the "easy" fixes work. 

A problem that Geek Squad rep Brian D. said would only take an hour or two when he passed me off to Johnny T. ended up taking six hours.  S. I. X. It's a good thing I started this at 10:30 last night.

He called me and woke me up out of a dead sleep at 3:32 a.m. to ask me to put in my blackboard information so he could check Java.  And guess what.  It still didn't work.  He finally ended up getting it to work on one browser, but the other one?  "Um, maybe you should contact your university and tell them you're having an issue..."

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Needless to say, I totally overslept this morning, and that's okay because we had nothing planned at all.  As in, I literally sat around and read or caught up on episodes of "Who Do You Think You Are?" because, y'all? I love that show!  I cried right along with Lisa Kudrow when she found out that a relative her father thought had died years and years ago was actually alive and well.  Oh.  Spoiler alert.  Whoops!  Since the episode came out years ago, I doubt it's news, but it was precious hearing her tell her father that his relative was alive and watching the two old men Skype??  Waterworks!

I'm enjoying my last couple of days of "freedom" and reading for fun.  My textbooks for some of my classes should be here tomorrow, and then all the fun is sucked out of my life...at least until December.  Ha, right.  I'm so excited about school that I even find myself annoying.  The anticipation is always so much more fun than actuality.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to break the news to my maintenance man that we aren't exclusive.  Sure, he fixes my air conditioner, but I only use that for half of the year...I use my laptop WAY more often, so my heart will always be loyal to the Geek Squad.  Sometimes the truth hurts, but you know what?

Our failed relationship will make the maintenance man THAT much stronger...and we'll always stay friends.

As long as he keeps fixing my ac!
