Dear February 12th: I hated you, and then i kind of liked you a little bit, and then you were the worst, but now i think you really aren't so bad.

9:00 AM
Karly wakes up and turns on her computer.


She is greeted by the above screen, which is normal.
Screen stays on gray spinning wheel of death for about 3,000 minutes. This is NOT NORMAL.
Karly hates life and instead of dealing with the problem, goes back to sleep.


11:15 AM
Karly wakes up (again).
The problem, shockingly, has not resolved itself.
Karly turns computer on and off about 8 times, just to make sure life isn't really as terrible as it seems.
Verdict: life is pretty terrible.

12:00 PM
Roommate Drew observes Karly trying to fix the problem herself, which looks a little bit like Karly laying on her bed and making faces that are frowny and helpless.
Roommate Drew takes steps to fix the problem.
Roommate Drew lures Karly to the mall with promises of energy drinks, Olga's, and back massages.
Roommate Drew makes the day way more awesome than it was looking out to be.

3:00 PM
Karly is in a good mood.
Karly arrives at work.

3:00:01 PM
Everything is just the worst.
Karly is not so much in a good mood anymore.
Karly spends the entire time at work trying not to cry directly into people's lattes.

9:49 PM
Karly is free!
Karly speeds home.
(Not really. She drove the speed limit. But maybe she was texting and driving a little bit.)
Karly opens her computer.
This is the screen that she sees:


...This is actually normal. It's been the background on her computer for a couple months. She thought it was funny.

(Guess what Karly doesn't think is funny anymore?

1. Flagrant system errors
2. Computers being "over"
3. Viruses that equal "very yes")

Karly is ecstatic because for one, her computer is no longer broken, and for two, she can actually listen to Smashmouth. She's been looking forward to it all night!
Happy Karly=very yes.

10:00 PM
Karly goes for a run.
Snow defies laws of physics and blows in her face even when she changes direction.
Karly is still happy that it's "warm" enough to run and that her computer isn't "over."


12:36 PM
Karly blogs.
And eats saltines.
And watches 30 Rock.
And it's awesome because they make fun of Canadians.
And maybe, if she's smart, will go to bed within the next 20 min.
