Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

Can I turn them down? Cuz I use it at night to play music to sleep to...

[r00]

I dont know if it is integrated somehow now, but when I bought mine 4 years ago it had switches on the fan power cables with 3 settings.  But that meant opening the case to get to them.  That being said, I dont notice it overpowering the sound from movies/TV shows/music in my office.  I guess it just comes down to how sensitive you are to underlying white noise.

OH SHIT NEVER MIND IT COMES APART LIKE WIRH EASE NO HULK SMASHING NEEDED WOOOOOOOO. SO HAPPY I COULD CRY or something else! It works however need the windows CD. Which isn't a good sign. Even more so since I let roommate use it last cuz his laptop died. I found the disk in his laptop... The case with the key.   Ya he lost the shit out of that



Got the new psu. It is great except the cpu part. It has 8 plugs my cpu on the mobo has 4... I can plug half In. However I sure as fuck know I shouldn't turn it on like . that. Right? Like the psu has a 4 by 2 block and my mobo has a two by two block...



What the psu has.
XXXX

What the mobo has.

SO when I buy a new psu or return this one. How do I makes sure the cpu part is 4 pin instead of 8 pins? Do they make adaptors for it? Like I know they do for 4 pin to Sata... But what about the cpu pin connections things?

Ps I want to cry now...

What have you got for a motherboard? 

[Aaron]

Uh an older gigabyte mobo... Really don't remember the model number... I know supper unhelpful... Sorry

So I got it to work and turn on. It won't let me install windows. It shows one hdd (i have two in there) and it shows it empty. But it won't install it says I need to go into BIOS and change the disk to a different format or something... Its also not even showing the other hdd at all... So I kinda think the psu dying might have killed the hdds...

argh...  car died tonight.  My money is on the alternator.  Not looking forward to the cost of another Mini/BMW repair.  8(

[Aaron]

Sucky roo. Hope its a cheap fix or under warranty at lest.

[r00]

no warranties for a car at 140k miles.  8(    I am waiting on the diagnosis now.  I had it towed in.  If it is the alternator, I am looking at around $900 parts and labor.

[individualzero]

Holy shit, dude, that sucks.

Let's hope it's a quick and easy fix...

[r00]

Ok, so I am having the alternator replaced and since the serpentine belt was also in really bad shape, I am replacing that as well.  Grand total will be around $1100.  It's an ouch, but that;s why I have savings...  it helps the sting a little.  haha. 

At least MINI treats you nicely when they are bending you over with prices.  They gave me a new 2012 Cooper for free as a loaner until I get my car back.

I think SUV and pick-up drivers think 4 wheel drive means "hover-over-snow-and-ice" because all of their accidents this morning made my door to desk commute 2hr20min.  Thanks dicks.

[Aaron]

Hahah ya. When ever I would see pics of pile ups or anything around my town on the free way. Always trucks or 4 wheel drive things.


So the walmart hierarchy goes like this. Store manager who's boss is a market manager who's boss is a region mananger who's boss is a division mananger. Or something like that. I haven't ever really paid that much mind. Cuz I don't care... But the division mananger lady might might might be in our store today. Maybe... And while it doesn't ever really matter much to me. Cuz the region person is a huge fucking deal. I have never seen this level of management before. I do love seeing management freak the fuck out. And get ready to deep throat the company cock a bit more. I really hope she doesn't come. Or when I'm on lunch.

[r00]

Ugh, Mon/Tues was the sickest 24 hours I have had in at least 6 years.  Some stomach bug hit me like a ton of bricks and right when the vomiting stopped, the fever moved in to the tune of 102 F.  Fortunately it left as quickly as it set in, but goddamn.

So I started my new job in January working in a cubicle for a national mortgage company. This company does so much hiring that 60% of all of it is done through temp agencies, which is who I went though, and I'm eligible to be hired on by the company after 90 days. After being there 3 weeks my manager decided to give me 3 extra projects and put me in charge of training all new hires and anyone that wants to train in our department. I'm also expected to complete the same workload as everyone else on my team that doesn't have anything extra to do. I'm such a whore for my weekly check from the man that I keep smiling and saying yes until I'm actually hired on.

This having a grown up job thing is overrated.
