Apparently there's something still on the hard drive. The official "C: format" has been tried thrice. To save us all the hassle of jargon and explanations no one will understand, it's not working. So hubby thinks there's still something on there preventing the operating system from installing properly. Grrr, grrr, and triple GRRRR!
I hate not having my own computer with all my things right where I know to find them.
Well, on to more interesting stuff...
DD and I watched the last four episodes of season two of Grey's Anatomy last night. Pretty powerful episodes all, bringing us both to tears several times. It's quite a feat for DD to tear up. She's usually pretty stoic.
I'm working on the 4th Harry Potter book again, HP and the Goblet of Fire. It's one of the longest books in the series.
In lieu of visiting my jail bird, who's not allowed visitors (along with the rest of her block) for 20 days, I went to Lowe's and bought another gallon of the paint I needed for my spare room. I didn't actually paint, mind you, but I'm ready for the weekend. Baby steps, baby steps. I am so ready to have this room finished. You'd think that would spur me on to work faster, but I have a limited amount of energy. Last week when I painted the lower half of the walls, my poor legs ached for two days. A good kind of ache, but still. :)
And so, back to work I go...

Frustrated
On Monday afternoon, I got a bad something on my PC. So bad we are having to format my PC today. *sobs* Oh, I hate the drama that ensues when trying to do this because our organizational skills are always brought into focus. We cast about trying to locate all software needed to rebuild my computer only to find this time, that my stuff is nowhere to be found. I used to have all my stuff in a bag and I knew where it was. I guarded it with my life. Now--pfftt!--I have no freaking clue what happened to it all. I have my operating system and I know where QuickBooks is. I have no clue where anything else, including my MS Word.
So I have been working using another PC in the office which doesn't have all the tools I need to do a certain part of my job...so I have to skip from PC to PC to do it. *grrr* And there will be more hand-wringing and more belly-aching as we go.
On top of that, I have to try to get downtown today to pay court fees and fines for my DD who's currently incarcerated. Yippee...
So since I've been down and can't do my normal stuff, I decided to do something productive and create a spreadsheet for hubby for our last season's fireworks sales. A day-by-day log of sales and inventory, etc. Tedious but important to have figures to watch sales trends and track popular items depending on the season (July vs. December). We've been in the store for 2 Decembers and 1 July and this is the first time we've gotten around to this. Decembers are not tooooo bad, but July's spreadsheet is going to be a nightmare. This coming July will be done on a daily basis.
Speaking of fireworks--the reason Dan decided to start selling them was because he bought so much of them and wanted to get better pricing. So now as we sell, people come in, plunk down $30, $50, $100, occasionally $300 for fireworks and are all set to have a rip-roaring good time. And you can, don't get me wrong. But hubby spent upwards of $5000 on fireworks for several years running, so I always have to chuckle when people make comments about how much they've spent. If they only knew!
