For the past couple of weeks I have been fighting a worsening problem with my PC DC power supply. As it heats up, it is apparently going into thermal breakdown and shuts off at the most inopportune moments with increasing frequency and shortening duration of uptime. I have tried to work around it but after rewriting the same 10 pages of my nanowrimo story about 5 times, I have to throw in the towel. The other galling fact that my warranty was up 3 months ago only adds salt to the wound. So I will be breaking it down and taking it in for repair. I'm hoping that, as an HP system, replacement parts are readily available but I could be down for anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
So you'll all have to get along without my ugly mug for sometime between a few days and two weeks.
As the assembled Sumsimmers break out in spontaneous song:
I talked to your Mother and I talked to your Dad.
They say they tried but it's all in vain.
I begged and I pleaded, I even got mad.
Now we must face it. You give me a pain.
Chorus
How can I miss you when you won't go away.
I keep telling you day after day.
But you don't listen, you only stay and stay.
How can I miss you when you won't go away.
Your never-ending presence really cramps my style.
I dream that it won't always be the same.
At first I was flattered, but after a while,
Have you ever heard of the hard-to-get game?
Chorus
Out of Six billion people, why must it be me?
Why, oh why can't you turn me loose?
Do me a favor and listen to my plea.
I'm not the onlt chicken on the roost.
Chorus
I talked to your Mama and I talked to your Dad.
They say they tried but it's all in vain.
I've begged and I pleaded. I even got mad.
Now we must face it, you give me a pain.
