I'm sorry but I can't bear to be sunshiney polyanna when:
a. Fursey's combo-drive can't eject a !#$% dvd when I need to preview a ton of student projects for grading. I've done every friggin trick in all the Mac/ Apple forums and nothing seems to work. Which means I need to bring him to a Mac repair shop.
b. They aren't calling!!! It's mid September and my life is on hold! I need to know if I can afford to not take on an academic load this coming sem, or if I'm gonna get a decent salary by October (because if not, I need to find all freelance jobs I can do and fast)
c. The amount of money I'm spending with Declan's schooling, the post-prod for the gov't .project, and research for the soap are all eating up into my pre-prod fund for my film. And I can't help it, money isn't coming in and I can't afford not to spend. Today, I'm friggin gonna have to pay for Declan's tuition... I guess the laptop repair is out of the question for the next 2 months. Aarrgh!
d. My usb is virus ridden and can't open any of the folders stored on it. And these folders have important files in them! Files I need for work!!!

Happy thoughts... Happy thoughts..Happy thoughts.. I need to clear my head for Friday when my class will be observed for PAASCU accreditation day, when I present my research for the soap, when I meet my staff for the first time (and make sure they don't back out after that meeting).

my combo drive conked out on me a year ago. i guess may certain lifespan talaga ang mga combo drive ng iBook. hay.
i've resorted to using an external reader/burner. nagpaquote din ako, 32,000 daw to replace sa Powermac. hibang sila.
waahh!! i'm dying ging!! do i still need 32K to get the damn dvd out? argh!
may nakita ako sa philmug, 5k lang daw dun to replace the drive.
ayun na nga, i use an external thingy na lang. pag nasa office, sinasabi kong wala akong optical drive haha
you know what happened, one night when i was ready to hit the sack after surfing, Fursey magically spat out the dvd. I checked in system profiler and Fursey was recognizing its disc drive! And its been working fine since then... weird! But I'm not complaining. Machines are so unpredictable sometimes, their like some people ahehhe.
