Fuck my life.
Seriously.
I get home from work the other day, my compy won't turn on. Fuck. I look at the mobo lights - nada so I figure must be the PSU.
My friend drives me to Best Buy - I dont own a car - and I buy a brand new overpriced Tt 600W PSU.
Sweet.
I get home and plug that sucker in - works like a charm - everything is running great. Grind some League and then some SC 2v2 with my buddy and we're melting face. Decide to go to bed as I have work at 7 (half hour walk from the apt) and its currently 3 AM. Whatever - this is why I'm glad I work at Cup A Joe.
My boss starts pouring me espresso as soon as I get in and I slave my way through all 2 and a half hours of work I wasn't scheduled for but stupidly agreed to help out with. By the end of my half-shift I'm on 6 shots of espresso and some amount of coffee. I take a 3x Voltaire with me and finish it before I can walk around the block to my parents house (much closer than apt). When I arrive I plop down on the couch and start watching The Daily Show. Before I can shit my pants at the state of US politics I'm all zZzZz.
Wake up at 2 PM. My parents cat is hogging like half the couch. Shes real sweet and all, but she always eats my goddamn cheese. After a couple hours of persistence - I convince my little brother to drive me home in exchange for a Red Bull from the corner store. Sweet - time to play some vidya games.
Load up League and I win the first draft match. Support Lux with like 14 assist and 10 deaths. I dunno how we won, I was playing real shitty, but some good late game engagements help us out and we squeak out a win even tho my team is bm-ing each other like a barrel full of faeces-flinging monkeys. Whatever - I check FB and my friend isn't online so I load up League again and we're drafting champs when it happens.
Black Screen.
No Blue Screen. Just complete shut-down. Whatever, shit happens I thought.
Press the Power Button - I get LED flash and split second fan movement (maybe 1/8 rotation) and then nothing.
I troubleshoot the fuck out of this using my phone for internet but I cant get a boot, let alone a POST.
At this point I want to cry. I'm sleep-deprived, on edge with caffeine and I can't get my computer to start. My apt is a wreck from where I've spilled every mobo manual and computer spare parts box all over everything. My second job - mainly google docs spreadsheet work - is not going to be happy. Also, my computer won't start. I'm barely functional and contemplating suicide more realistically than when I was having Major Depressive Disorder.
At this point I'm pretty sure my mobo or CPU is fried, but I have no way to test either. Of course it could be the new power supply but the mobo lights are on - suggesting that it's receiving power - and I don't really have a way to test that either.
Now I'm at the third job contemplating how I'm going to go home at noon and... Well... I guess watch Netflix on my phone till I fall asleep.
I'm so boned.

This is the definition of first world problems.
Why are you contemplating suicide or are you being sarcastic.
Remember sarcasam is very hard to get through text.
|
Not actually contemplating suicide, but I'm really sad that I have nothing to do at all. Also I can't play SC. MY LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES!
|
just relax mang, fix the problems and get on with it, ive got 700 bux in driving fines, owe my dad 800 bux for a computer pres he chipped in for, got an exam tomorrow im heaps fucked for (worth 30%, its 230 am and exam is at 11 - not studying, of course), forgot to turn up to a team presentation for a different class today (got 0), and im fucking hungry.
but.. fuck mate life could be worse
|
Yeah, usually I can just - "Could be worse" things to the back of my mind. But my shitty little 2 room apt with no media entertainment is really bumming me out.
|
Hey, at least your liver isn't hurting, right?
|
Sounds more likely to be a MOBO issue than a CPU one, sucky day! I've had similar experiences, so I feel for you
|
I love your name  . Edit: Also, maybe now is the time to go to your local library and read a brand new book!! :D. Maybe even join a reading club, or some other club. There are all sorts of things to do out there
|
Yeah I was like, "OMG what am I going to read a book or something???"
|
If I ever lost my computer, it'd be instant /wrists

Dude, wtf this is just nonsense be happy for what you have atm i am in the chicago ghetto living off my mom who works 9 hour shifts off a factory assembly line just so i can get on with my life, on top of her supporting me my dads off with another family paying their mortgage and when he dies my step moms ex meth head kids get their 12 acre home. i have been struggling for years with what i have watching my friends have parents buy them xboxes while i sit on my moms windows 98 making bw campaigns... just recently i saved up for a nice 800 dollar rig to stream and i got fucked over by buying an amd phenom II 1050t 6 core only because my friend told me amd was outclassing intel and cores were better for gaming... -_- just recently my fucking 200 dollar ipod was taken from my pocket after i got jumped by a group of wannabe pussy poser thugs, and on top of all of that i am probably gonna get kicked out soon and work a blue collar life style to even support myself because i can't afford an education let alone getting a grant to pay off a loan for 20+ years!
I understand why you would think your life is miserable atm but then you got guys above who make a mockery out of people with 1st world country problems... some people do have it fucking hard my moms worked her ass of since she was 12 to support herself let alone others. just think of the bright side bro i wish i had fucking netflix and the only thing i get to look forward to is playing a couple of pc games with my mates on skype. just be appreciative for what you have because any moment shit could flip upside down and you would regret thinking you had it "as worse as it probably could get" earlier because now you gotta live in a homeless shelter or whatever.
America is fucked, people who are rich are fine sure. but people like me and my mom never think of suicide because its selfish and betraying to people who actually care for you, i am actually jealous of you right now because i wish i had a fucking job... ;_;
Not trying to downgrade you only give you motivation brother, theres more in life than just pc games look on the bright side for once!
|
Got a new PSU - No longer blue.
|
Also - I would like it to be known that I received a motivational kick in the ass from a flying toilet.

How is your parents' cat able to eat your cheese so frequently?
|
:D glad i could help you out bro, i kind of regretted pouring out like that because it always considered a pussy thing to do in my family... for starters i had a step brother who would always make his life out to be bad because his dad died of a heart attack, and whenever i would complain he would make his life out to be worse and would never consider any thing i had to say, it was kind of a depressing year for me man. I had to deal with my dad going loco trying to hang himself all over attention because i wanted to live with my mother.
And it was all because i was tired of the people down in kansas, i would work my ass off on their farm shoveling horse shit at least 4 days a week, and when the kids birthdays came around i was the only one who was literally forgotten... im not even shitting this they completely forgot i was 12 and they just shat on me i was expecting something nice like a little party or something because that's what my 15 year old step brother got was nice stuff. I cried to them a week later about it and was extremely upset and they lied to my face, saying they got me a cake and everything...
To this day whenever me and my dad get into a little argument on the phone i tell him i will never forget the shit he did to me, all the mental crap i went through when i didn't even know what suicide meant. I remember calling out the whole family on facebook to where all of those fucks could see what i wrote, and this was what my father responded with " my dad never left me nothing so why should i give you my house?"
I recently opened up to one of my friends because i never really told anybody this shit and got sympathy for it, my mom never really cared about what i had to say her life was like 10x worse than mine, but anyways it was good for you to do this, people saying that u don't need attention on the internet don't understand, others can never really open up because no one will listen except say a shrink. But i would assume that paying for a shrink is almost not worth it when u got friends like mine.
I am not trying to let u know my life story but its always better to get shit like this off your chest, because then you get the sympathy you deserve, and i am glad i could help you clear your mind.
No one deserves neglect in any form, its just inhumane...
