Well… I guess today wasn’t so bad… it started off that way, but it go better…

I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I kept waking up… I didn’t seem to accomplish anything at work… I didn’t eat enough today…

well anyway, I went to lab today… not too bad… I did manage to make sure of ip route-caching…. load balancing…

anywho… I got a call just before class from my friend’s dad saying he was having a problem with password recovery of a user on a computer… so I left class early (absolute shock I know), and I went to his house… when I got there he had a computer, laptop… and asked if the way he created an account was correct… and it was… he told me how he obtained the laptop (it was legally), and he said
“well I got it for you”
I’m like… “you’re joking”
“nope”
“really?”
“yes”
I was speechless…. it’s not the fastest laptop in the world… but it works… it’s a p4 1.2 with 256MB of ram… it’ll do somestuff… I will upgrade the ram… there’s no wireless… at the moment… but I don’t have a wireless network… now I have a reason to buy a wireless router….

anyway, I was there for like 10 minutes… I was shocked… so I called Erin while I was driving home… I told her the story… so she asked me to bring it over… so I did… she started playing with it… now she’s jealous….

anyway, that’s been my day… very strange… but now I have a laptop…
