Sick and no laptop

by Raymond

Caught a cold on Saturday night, as I slept in the living room (tout nu) with the windows open. Still trying to get well, but my “dear” colleagues switch the aircon on in the afternoon since the SH weather is heavy, humid and very hot. It has been raining a lot over the last 10days or so (except the last 2 days), but the air is still stifling. I hope I get well by tomorrow.

Yesterday the electrician came AGAIN, because there was a socket that was not working in my room. He came slightly before 7pm, and left around 9.20pm! All the while I couldn’t prepare dinner. Darn. Anyway, my guest room now only has ONE socket that works. The other 2 has been condemned because the original current circuit was no longer working properly. What else will break down in the last 6mths contract I still have? I wonder.

My laptop was starting to crash last week, and I finally gave up and sent it for repairs on Tuesday. Still haven’t heard any news about it, although the first indications are that it’s the Graphics card that’s fucked up. And the laptop’s less than 1 year old. WTF?

It still has a warranty, but the cost to send the laptop to HK for repairs would far exceed doing it here in China. Oh well.
