So Close, Yet So Far Away

I am Frustrated, with a capital F.

I picked up my new computer today, got it home (with some help) and put it together. Then I realized that they guy who assembled my computer, who put in 4 GB of RAM and a 400 shekel video card, forgot to give me a power cord. By the time I finished waffling I was pretty sure I couldn't make it back to the store on time to get a new one for tonight.

So I have a fancy pants computer and a free and clear evening, which I had planned to use to set up all the little thingamajigs that make a comfortable computer experience, and I can't even turn it on.

No way am I letting this ruin my mood, though. I've been in such a good mood almost all week. In fact I've been downright cheerful. This is not what one might call a common experience for me. I was head of all my schoolwork, I was on top of almost all my chores, and I was supposed to have a brand new computer waaaah and the weather is turning up. And the rest of the semester should be relatively breezy.

And there are holidays coming up, and a Friday the 13th that I want to do something about.

Everything is fine. I'm just frustrated.
