Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

I just had to get a new power cable for my 12″ Powerbook that I purchased in February. Wonder if Apple will reimburse me?

I’ve been fighting with Excel for just about 24 hours. I couldn’t find a weight loss spreadsheet I liked, so I decided to teach myself how to make my own. Apparently there’s something I’m putting in it that makes it unable to open. I’ve made the damn thing 3 times now to no avail. This time I’m saving a copy on each step so I know where it’s going wrong. At least I know what to do now so it’s not taking the 3 hours that the first one did.

To tie this in with the previous post, I’ve had bad experiences with both an Apple and a Microsoft product in the past 24 hours. What a headache.

The liberal vs. conservative war is so Mac vs. PC. It’s lame, it’s passe, it’s boring.

In case anyone’s interested, here are my responses to the afore-mentioned quiz.

Interesting. Following a link from Cogicophony, I took the Presidential candidate selection quiz to see who my perfect candidate is. Short answer? I don’t have one. If there were a true Libertarian candidate out there, that’s who I would agree most closely with – on the par of 100% agreement. Here are my top ten:

1. Libertarian Candidate   (100%)
2. Buchanan, Patrick J. – Reform/Republican   (64%)
3. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT – Democrat   (56%)
4. Bush, George W. – US President   (53%) 
5. Phillips, Howard – Constitution   (53%)
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC – Democrat   (52%)
7. Sharpton, Reverend Al – Democrat   (46%)
8. Biden, Senator Joe, DE – Democrat   (43%) 
9. Feingold, Senator Russ, WI – Democrat   (41%) 
10. Kerry, Senator John, MA – Democrat   (41%)

No wonder I hate all politicians. None of them agree with me. Which of course means that none of them are reasonable.
