Funny computer noise: 'Twas brillig and the slithy...

[icarus]

If your hard drive "burbles" and sounds a bit like a top that's off-kilter (a soft wobbling sound), that's bad, isn't it?

Any advice?

I have none of my software backed up (unable to upload to my webspace and no CD-burning capability), it all came with the computer, though my fics are safe. wildernessguru and I are buying an external drive this weekend with money we don't have.

I'm hoping this is not the end of my computer since that would screw up every level of work, school, writing, a lot of my social life -- I'd say everything but my sexlife revolves around this little box.

Darn.

This really sucks. I don't have two hundred bucks (brace yourself for whining) and I'm currently a student and I'm working part time but that doesn't cover... [fill in blank].

*heavy sigh*

I need wildernessguru to at least get back to temp work. Having a house-wife is nice but I'm sick of carrying a full load of classes and working, and watching him fuck-off.

Even if he does wait on me hand and foot and cater to my every whim. And does all the laundry. And does the dishes. And the cat litter. And takes care of the car. And the cooking, let's not forget his excellent cooking. And cleans the house. Then there's the plants. Hmm. Actually, it's a pretty sweet deal, save when we need real live green money.

I understand completly. I go to school and work part time. I'm underpaid and underworked. I dont get enough hours ($45/week right now). My boyfriend is going to school too. He's part time with IBM. They contract him out on temp jobs. He just finished the last one about 2 weeks ago. Right now hes the one buying everything and I feel bad. :/
