    Today my best friend went to the lab where he works and spilled the most dangerous chemical they had all down the front of himself because he was really too tired to be handling anything.

    The rave is that he is completely unhurt and didn't get fired.
    Relevant webcomic. 10 pages in, but the setup is good.

    By "relevant" I mean "this is nightmare fuel but False Positive is awesome and this is the best/only opportunity I've had to link it".

    My friend's laptop display went crazy, so I opened it up and poked everything... just poked it. Put all back together and it worked! and there was only one missing screw.
  • After a good number of years with a broken numpad, I give it another go and it actually works! Been using for the past few days without it dying again, it makes combat so much nicer.
    For the record I have this keyboard and it has been doused in at least five cups of coffee over the years.

    Just... all the raves. Maybe ten sentences, was it?

    Smart, helpful people. All the raves.

    Always nice when things randomly decide to work. Part of that rave is that I'm a little stunned that that laptop is still working after all the rummaging around I've done in its innards. I've taken apart the LCD panel twice to replace the backlight bulb. After the second time, it started getting lines of dead pixels, and I replaced the display entirely. Turned out the replacement had a short or something that blew a fuse on the motherboard, so this adventure involved completely disassembling it, finding the relevant tiny fuse, and shorting it. I'm sure one of these days my cavalier attitude toward computer repair is going to bite me in the ass, but apparently today is not that day.

    I never have any screws left over when I repair computers or laptops. I use Dixie Cups and label each one because it was drilled into my head in college.

    When I can I lay the screws out in the pattern that I remove them. Takes up a bit of room but makes sure that the screws always match up.

    My boss's brother arrived today. He's going to be here for a few weeks. I got hugs. :x

    I used to do that up until I went to college and coupled with moving to a house without a large area to work in, it just caught on because I could stack the cups when I finished pulling screws. It's like a high-rise hotel for screws.

    Also rave: my direct deposit came through finally, even if it is too late for the auctions.

    I can't believe T-bird is losing.  More for me!  The only way this could be cooler would be if it were Teevil.

    One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
