A less crazy title about how I was frustrated that day

A less crazy title about how I was frustrated that day

So, my wife and I both take college courses online, because we can't imagine trying to schedule courses at a campus between our jobs and children.

This is what happened to me today. I spilled a rock N rye on my good laptop, the one that is capable of playing modern games on it and is mine personally.  No biog deal normally, so I turn it off unplug it, remove the battery etc.. I clean the keyboard off and let it rest a while..  It will not turn back on now.. it doesn't even try.. pushing the button does nothing.

I'm freaking out I like computer games and the 1,000 dollars I spent on it isn't exactly cheap for me.  We still have my wife's computer.  So I go to do my homework on that, and it appears that somethime between last night and now SOMEONE HAS STEPPED ON IT AND RUINED THE SCREEN!

That's both our computers taken out in the same day.. We aren't wealthy we can't afford to replace anything on such short notice, not to mention two expensive things like these.

and it always happens this way.  Whenever I'm working towards improving my life something shitty happens.  In High School when i was finally applying myself and earning good grades, my father *a teacher at the school* dies from an aneurysm at 34m playing a game of basketball.  then afterword I have to go to the place he worked every day and the place he died.  Needless to say I skipped a lot.

Why do these things happen to me?

Quoting KellenDunk, reply 21I gave up and sent it in, it turns out I was eligible for an accidental damage warranty on it.  Replaced the screen on my wife's machine myself. My machine is currently on a fedEx truck on it's way home.


amazing the way things work out.  after all the frustration and worry and pain, you have to admit that there is a hand at work in our lives that is beyond our control.

I totally believe that, and am constantly frustrated and relieved to consider the implications of it.

If you want to bring God into it

there is your answer

God is just a bored kid with a magnifying glass. Thats the reason shit happens.
