Birthdays and Booms
by Wheelz on May.21, 2009, under Apple, Computers, Oh Crap!
So it was my birthday last month and it was a low key event. I’ve decided I’m getting too old to go out and make a fuss about it, so it was just myself and my girlfriend out for a meal; all the family was before hand (except my brother who only having 24 years to lean when my birthday is, forgot) and it was nice to have time to myself for a change. I was on holiday from work, sat in front of the TV watching snooker. What more could I ask for?
Well, i’ve wanted for longer than I can remember a remote control helicopter and it happened that most people gave me cold hard cash this year, so I put to and am now the proud owner of a helicopter. Its a lot harder than it looks to fly it let me tell you.
This was the last good thing to happen to me for a while. The following day my water cooler decided to heat rather than cool so I had to go buy a new one
Later that week the oven broke so I had to take that to bits and repair it. Then to really make sure that I had a crap couple of weeks, my girlfriend calls me into the bedroom one night and jumps up and down on the carpet to show it squelshing under foot – The emersion heater had decided to spring a leak. So all in all a crap couple of weeks.
We are pretty much sorted now though which is good. So now i’m sat here at my desk spending the next few hours installing all the software on my macbook pro i’ve just upgraded.
