Diary of a PC
Feb. 15
Today I got ordered! Finally. After getting refurbished, I’ll have a new home—and what a wonderful home it will be!
Feb. 19
I’ve arrived! There’s a scary cat and it’s a little cramped, but I think I’ll fit in quite nicely here.
Feb. 20
I don’t work. My owner is not happy. She took me apart and tried to fix me but only made things worse. Sounds like I’m headed back to the mother ship for repairs.
Feb. 29
Sorry it’s been a few days. My super nice and patient owner had to wait for special packaging before she could send me back. But now I’m fixed and on my way back to NY.
March 2
My owner wasn’t home so the FedEx man left a note on the door. Gee, I wonder where she could be? Could it be that they should’ve shipped me to the same place they shipped me the first time?
March 3
Hmmm...she’s still not home. I’m really starting to think this isn’t where I’m supposed to be delivered. Maybe she tried calling FedEx but they wouldn’t let her re-route me. I hope she’s able to call HP in time.
March 4
Still not home. Poor lady. I’m sure she tried to reroute me but things are so complicated...it takes awhile for HP to tell FedEx to reroute me.
March 5
Oh no! They’re sending me back to Texas! And it sounds like there’s no way to stop me.
March 25
I have no idea where I’ve been for the last few weeks, but I’m finally back with my new owner. Boy, that was a long journey.
March 26
Bad, bad day. I don’t work again. It’s something different this time but my owner doesn’t care...she’s done with me. I’m sad.
March 27
Well, it looks like I’m headed back to Texas again. All this traveling is really wearing me out. I hope my owner..er, ex-owner, has better luck with my replacement. She really doesn’t need this stress in her life. She has enough to worry about what with the cat pissing on the bath mat while she’s on the phone with HP, the cat mauling her neck while trying to take her to the vet, a new position at work that is more demanding and challenging, a bee hive being romoved from her front door, a flood in the basement that’s affecting the furnace and blocking the washing machine, a landlord that doesn’t understand the urgency of the situation, oh, and she’s trying to buy a house. It’s a wonder she hasn’t cracked!!
