So. My computer's dead, and I'm not happy. Well, maybe not dead, just resting. ;) But seriously, I can't get it to boot up. *sigh* It was happily on and working for awhile, albeit very slow, when suddenly a bunch of error messages popped up then it went to a Blue Screen of Death that had some sort of error messages on it. I've tried starting it multiple times, includingi n safe mode, with no luck. I don't really know what the errors are... I'm on Mom's computer going through Dell's troubleshooting for blue screen problems (it was the first problem listed, lol. This shit is way too common.) so maybe once I've done that I'll know. Something about some files being missed or corrupted or I dunno. If the troubleshooting doesn't work, then I'll take it to the computer place on the island if they're open.

Okay, wait.. am restarting it again for the troubleshooting, and it brings up an error saying "delayed write failed" and "windows was unable to save your data from something something" shit it disappeared before I could transcribe it, now it's on the blue screen. "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer" Lesse... it says to disable any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities (how the fuck can I do that if I can't get into my computer?). Then to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption. We tried to do that earlier, but although we almost were able to do that it crashed before the check would run. -__-

Okay, off to compare the screen to what the troubleshooter says. *sigh* Any ideas?

But in more cheerful news... (as I boredly watch my computer run a ton of tests) I might have a place to live on the island soon! Much though I'd like to eventually get a job and place in Vancouver, at least for a few monthes I'd like the security of a place and a job on the island. I was worried about where I was going to live come summer, when my parents will have to be in town 5 days a week for medical issues. o.o Anyway, the girl who I was briefly going to room with, but who found someone else, is again in need of a roommate because her friend pretty much screwed her over and now she's stuck. She's found a 3-bedroom house in the cove as well as a third person (a guy our age), for $1800 a month. That'd be $600 each, which while I'm still parttime is a bit steep for me, but if I can get fulltime over the summer... anyway, she's going to keep in touch with me and let me know how it's going. Might not be until April, but that's okay for me... long as I have a place in May-July. Not sure if I can get full time, though... we're trying to hire someone else, but my manager is trying to avoid doing that even though I've TOLD her that I may not be here this summer and I'll most likely be gone by September. I really do need to get her a straight answer, though... *sigh* If this place becomes definite, then I'll tell her that I found a place but need more hours to afford it. She can make up her damned mind then. I mean really, we had 4 of us full time for awhile, now she's skittish about 3 full time (inc. me) and one part time (new person, until I leave)? I don't really see why we can't hire a fulltime replacement for our supervisor who left. I know she wants to save money, but... *sigh*
