Ode to Bob, the BF of the Madre.

So our brand new lap top decided to stop working. So I take it in and the guy at best buy says he can fix it for $130. I say no this is brand new, its not a virus but its not working and its under warranty and the geek squad is supposed to fix all our problems. He says my warranty doesn't cover software only hardware. So I'm think ok, I'll throw it at his face and hopefully the screen will break and it will become a hardware problem. But he tells me how to restore the software and sends me home.

At home, my screen won't even turn on now so Lance comes home from work and takes it in and talks to the guy (angrily), and mister geek squad decides it is hardware and mails it in! Apparently the geek squad are big haters toward blondes with computer problems. Then when Lance comes in everything is better like he thought Lance was going to eat him or something. Anyway I'm just glad our computer is being fixed it will take 3 weeks since for some reason they have to send it to California, you know, because no one in utah can fix it.

Good news, I bring my Ipod with me on the second trip to best buy that day,
they look it up, and says my three year warranty expires next week. Well great cuz my ipod decided it couldn't handle my flashcard homework I downloaded on it. So he looks at my ipod and just starts LAUGHING! I was like, uh what now? He said that it was the brick of ipods and they don't make them anymore. So he said he would mail it in and after the nerds that recieved my ancient Ipod stopped laughing they would replace it with a brand spanking new one! YAAA! He asked if one of my arms was stronger then the other from wearing the heavy thing when I jogged. I really didn't think it was that old but apparently the geek squad has the right to make fun of you when you electronics aren't up to par.

Now, if your still with me, our old laptop (four years old, I bought the 1st year of college) got a virus and we decided to let it die and buy the new computer since lap tops are updated like every two months so having a four year old one is like holding an A - track. Anyway this guy my mom is dating said he could probably fix the old one, so we will have two lap tops and a brand new Ipod! I'm pretty happy at least something is going right eh? Anyway THANK YOU BOBRA for fixing my cute blue anciet lap top so I can to homework and lance can use the other one at the same time! livin large baby oh yeah.


For those that got offended by my geek squad and nerd talk, I'm sorry I'm just jealous that I'm not as smart as you, also my sister is an accountant so I feel the right to make fun of nerds, so its cool since she is the biggest one I know.

Oh you're just asking for a beating aren't you!

First of all accountant nerds are totally different from Geek Squad nerds. You can't even compare the two. The Geeks are way more nerdier than the Accountants hands down (or up or whatever that saying is.)

So while I feel you have the right to make fun of Geeks, it is not because your sister is an accountant nerd. You are aloud to make fun of Geeks because Geeks are GEEKY!
