I'm usually a compulsive saver, but I kept getting distracted and forgot to save :/

So my graphics card just died.

It's a couple of years old now and it's been run pretty hard, so that doesn't surprise me, what does surprise me is how instantly and totally dead it is.
Everything was running perfectly fine, no strange noises, no artifacts on the screen, wasn't even running hot and BAM. DEAD.
Not even a BSOD.

I actually thought my power supply had died, took me forever to track down the problem.

It's SO dead that the machine refuses to even power on if it's installed, gives me absolutely nothing, no fans, no lights, no beeps. Dead.

(before anyone asks, yes, I've tested everything, I'm actually running on exactly the same hardware but with an older graphics card right now.)

I love it when people tell me to do things and I find out it's not even possible to do it.

Oh hey, put these photos on a xD card.
Ok
*tries to do it, xD card doesn't even register on the computer*
what the fuck.

The power just went out for a second from the bad storm... O_O

Was just informed I'll be working tomorrow, which is the last day of summer.

Or well by work I mean non profitally having to drive several hours to somewhere I don't know after I've been riding over twenty hours during this half-baked vacation. Fuck.

uh oh

um
the system isnt letting me pay for and finalize my classes
semester starts tomorrow

HUGE PROBLEM

edit- like, seriously, this is REALLY FUCKING TERRIBLE
i have no idea what to even do right now
the enrollment office doesn't open until school opens tomorrow, but i work tomorrow and was supposed to have class after work, at which time the enrollment office closes
i can't call out of work because i literally just got back from a 3 day vacation, plus the whole new york trip a week ago

if i go to work, then i can't get into school
if i try to go into school to see if i can get into classes (which will be a gamble either way), i'll lose my job

this is really really bad unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh

Sometimes I'm legitimately concerned i have some form of bipolar or depression or something. and then i become concerned i'm a hypochondriac.

edit: no scratch that I hate everyone

in other words, i have to find a[nother] job as fast as humanly possible or i'm completely fucked

Ask them about it.

Vipes, call your manager. I mean they should be understanding about something as important as this.

I want to get on with this puppet
but I need my dad's cutting mat, and he's not about so I can't find it
WEH.

Life's been pretty much pure, unadulterated shit since my 21st birthday.
