Damn

Max's power supply is fucked. But apparently, it's not just cuz of the usual reason* but because it has a factory damage. Instead of too little power, which I suspected, the thing gives out too much power causing the motherboard to shut down the booting process. The hell...?! Unfortunately, you need special equipment to find out about this. Which, of course, yamasagi has. Lucky. Actually, I'm luckyx2 since we found this out now and can (hopefully) still get it replaced. Now all that's gotta happen is mum finding the bill in the mess that is my former room. Fingers crossed, eh?

Also, the second battery Yama buolt for Kan-chan doesn't work. It keeps overheating and shutting down and we have no idea why. Ah, well. Those are still available on eBay so should I really need another one, I only need to invest about 45 Euros.
Actually, I much prefer the other option, which could be described as "Once I get a job, start saving some moolah to buy a shiny, new IBM laptop at some point later this year". Unfortunately, they're not the type of laptop starting at 600-something Euros. They're business machines after all so I guess twice the amount would be neccessary. But them being business machines also means they're hard-working and nearly indestructable (I know both of these traits from good, old Kan-chan. He's simply amazing even though he's about seven years old <3), service is good and they hardly have to be repaired. We just saw the results of c't's annual laptop service survey and IBM came first in all but one category (Dell came second).
Yeah. Can you tell how much I prefer IBM? I mean, look at those consumer brands. Bro's got an Acer. The touchpad died after a couple of months (!). Mum's got a Fujitsu-Siemens. You can't see it when it's turned on, but the glass of the screen is green, for god's sake :| (Companies these days love to save money by fitting cheap screens which reflect like hell and can hardly be looked at unless the room's nearly dark. Hello?!)
Anyway. For now, that's just a dream.

* A computer can either be on 24/7 or be powered off every night. Switching from one to the other two or three times kills the power supply. I could go into the technical details here, but I won't. Just let me tell you that it's a) true and b) a general problem of how power supplies are built. So no way of changing it.

Speaking of dream. "Yes! Precure 5" episode 5 just finished. I'mma watch that now, and then, it's time to do some stuff. There's lots and lots to do today so we'll have to see about Biffno *gulps*

*giggles*

Just got an email from mum. Among other things, it said this (rough translation):

Gotta search for that bill. Can't find it in that mess. Gotta call NCIS.

Can you tell what her favourite series is? :3
BTW, she'll get a new car in April (Of course, it's a new Cosa, that damned Opel fangirl XD At least it's black^_~). And her license plate is gonna start with "SI CN". Now read it backwards and facepalm *lol*

Also, they sold Kou-chan. For the same price we bought him at. Well, at least I got the money back. It'll stay on my other, sealed account as emergency supply. Whew *wipes forehead*

Biffno, day twelve

456.
Baaad, I know. But I've been out job hunting all day and right now, my feet are more blisters than feet =_=
It was a long and weird oddyssey that will best be forgotten. However, I have a test day tomorrow. At the grocery store that's just around the corner. Or, to be more precise, at the butcher's O_o
Good that it's so soon. This way, I hardly have time to think about it and maybe get scared. I know I tend to. So yeah, I'm just gonna plunge into this, head first. And maybe I can actually do it ;)
Self-earned money? Whee :3

Also, it looks like the deadline to register for the June CPE exam is tomorrow. Nobody told us and we expected to have until the middle of April to decide. Well, lucky the teacher just happened to check tonight *curses*
We'll still be able to register afterwards but it'll just get more expensive. So, hopefully, I'll somehow make it to the school tomorrow to apply. They have terrible opening hours and I have no idea when I'll get out of work, so wish me luck :|
Other than that, class was fun. I had to read my proposal and everyone clapped XD Also, when I admitted having some routine with writing, teacher said she'd noticed ^_^
Unfortunately, about two thirds of the class now look at me when they don't know a word.
We also have yet anohter new student. Who seems to be worse than everyone else.
A typical dialoge went like this:

Teacher enters, everyone starts speaking English
New girl: "Doesn't she know German?"
Desk neighbour: "No, not much"
New girl: "Oh, crap"

*headdesk*

Anyway.
'Nother busy day tomorrow.
Hooray!
*keels over and dies*
