So the WEIRDEST thing happened today. While I was getting some work done I noticed something crawling on the screen of my laptop. I figured I’ll just brush it off and kill it, no big deal. Little did I know, the fucker was IN the screen. I don’t know how it got there or where it came from but this little bug was just walking around the screen as though he owned it. It’s now a big red blot in my screen, which can be seen here. So now I’ve already got to send it back to HP to be serviced. I would have done it myself but I refuse to take the screen apart because then I’d have to deal with fucking up the warrenty, something I don’t want to do.
So FedEX will be dropping off a box for me to put my laptop in sometime over the next 48-hours and I’ll be shipping it back to HP soon after. It’s going to take about 7 days (in total) and then it’ll be back to me. I have to take my battery out and my hard drive too. It’s easy stuff so I’m not overly concerned about that. I’ll have to move myself back to my desktop for a little while but that’s ok because I have the same resources setup for both computers. It’s just the weirdest thing in the world that this actually happened. I’ve never once heard of a bug getting IN the SCREEN of a laptop. This is why I swear I’d enjoy being surrounded by cement for the rest of my life so it’s easy to kill the fuckers before they can get into anything.
So that’s the excitement for my night. I’m currently tuning into K-IRB listening to Radio X with John & Erica. The show just started so there isn’t much going on as of yet. I just hope it’s a fairly decent one because I’m having a sucky night.
: sigh :
Dang! That is strange! Sorry to hear you gotta ship your laptop back off, it seems like you just got it!
Chin up 🙂 Sucky nights usually aren’t as bad as they seem, and if they are, take a hot bath and drink some warm milk. Always does the trick for me!
I have never even heard of something like that happening before. That is so weird. I wonder how many people actually get their laptops serviced because of weird things like that.
Aparently not many because the support guy flat out told me that’s the first time he’s ever heard of ANYTHING like that happening before.
Wow…just…wow. How in the world is that possible? In any event that just sucks! I know how much you wanted the laptop and you had to ship it back. Damn.
Wow. I’ve heard of that happening to someone before – me. LOL I have a black dot on my old laptop from something that was inside the screen. It didn’t bother me and my warranty was already up when it happened – so I just ignored it.
LOL. It only happens to us, Krissy 🙂
Thats… weird…. How does a bug get on the inside of your monitor? Odd…
Weird. I blame cuniform. Things started to go downhill with the invention of writing.
lol. i’m sorry, but it is funny. the excerpt to this post made me laugh.
sorry you have to send it back pretty much right after you just got your laptop. at least it was now and not the day after your warranty expired. do you have to pay for the fedex, or do they cover that too?
HP is having FedEx send me a pre-paid box, so that’s all taken care of under the warrenty. Thank freaking god. It’s really standing out on the corner for me, and driving me bananas because of it. I like to keep a bright monitor, it makes it easier for me to work. So seeing a big red dot in the corner is not appealing to me at all.
thats insane. how the hell would something like that happen?! wow…
I’m wondering how that happened, too. Now I’m so afraid that the same thing is going to happen to mine.
well that’s pretty creepy and shitty all at the same time. that’d be my luck too. i hate bugs. they aren’t really cute and they aren’t purposeful so they should all die.
just…wow!!!
