My computer lives!
Ok so apparently all I had to do was blow on the contacts between the battery and the computer and volia my computer lives.
I can't remember blow by blow what happened the last 5 days since I've updated but I haven't done a whole lot outside of work. I've done some laundry (it started pooring rain in the middle of that), and Steve gave me a ride to the SALSA sale on Thursday because it was the pin day (got a few pins I wanted and two grab bags with nothing exciting). Outside of that I spent 4 days on a Turkey Leg cart and one on a Hot Dog cart.
The only real eventful thing that occoured for me at work was on Friday, as it was probably my worst day of work. I almost got heat stroke from standing outside in the sun all day, and it was 6.5 hours before I got my break. I also had to close the Turkey leg cart by myself, which required a lot of cleaning, along with the usual work of bringing back stock for counting, as well as sorting my cash. I ended up calling for help and still putting in an extra hour of work. Thankfully on Saturday when I worked the same shift the girl who was with me offered to extend which kept me from closing myself, I also bought a neck cooler which also seemed to help.
Oh and Hot Dogs was an extra magic hours night so I was booked until 12:30 AM... thankfully I got out just before midnight. When I got home from that shift it was then I discovered that my computer wouldn't turn on. Since there wasn't much I could do after midnight I had to wait until Friday night to call Tech Support, and their oh so helpful solution was to send me a new power cord. When I got home from work on Saturday Josh took off my battery, blew on the contacts and volia it worked. I got 5 more strait days of work ahead of me, then 3 days off in a row. Apparently my "accepted" request for the 24th off for the Yellowcard concert at the House of Blues didn't really go through as I'm working late that night, we'll see if I can get that fixed today. Some of these shifts should be interesting (or have the potential to) as they're support shifts meaning I won't know what I'm doing until I show up. I could be covering breaks, stocking carts, running pretzels/turkey legs from teh kitchen, or just covering for someone who called in sick. In fact 7/10 of my next shifts are support (with one shift that starts support and ends on Ice Cream... joy) so I potentially have a lot to talk about.
Still no new pictures for my pictures site (jordenclarke.smugmug.com) but I do have a few random mishmash of pictures from the past week or so to put up at some point, I'm just waiting to be e-mailed a few that were taken with Jei's camera before I put those up.
