Toward Mid-April: Food, Chained CPI and Bogus HP Laptops

Good day! today is Weds April 10 and it was the hottest day this spring thus far. I stayed up too late watching "FAIL" videos. last night so I didn't go to the meeting. I went to work and I worked pretty hard and stayed late to clean up some paperwork I was behind on. I was behind because I was out on vacation AND there was a mass termination done by the job program called the Earn Center last week. After work, I Lebanese cuisine at Alyan's on 4th and South. Boy, that is some tasty food. I love sitting in the back when there is nobody there, such a mellow mood.  I then caught up to Patrick around 9:30 after he rescues someone with a busted bike.

In other computer news, HP has returned my Laptop. They only replaced the motherboard and did not JUST send a new one. The jerks. I generally find if a gadget like a computer is faulty, THE ENTIRE contraption tends to be faulty! Oh well, at least I did not pay for that repair BUT I will be paying the technician who has been working with HP to get my laptop fixed for the past month! GOD knows how much I owe him now. Here is the email I received about 21 hours ago:

Hello Mark
Got the computer in on Monday here and it good and they replace the motherboard inside so brand new works fine. Crash plan do you have the password for the program so I can re install the backups onto it.
If not I will request to reset and they well email you one at this email address mkrullrt55@gmail.com and then sent it to me so I can re install the backups.
I be here

We shall see by this weekend when I expect to pick up the computer from his home in New Jersey. He lives near the Riverline which will make it easier to pick up. Here is the video taken March 11th when I found the HP Laptop busted.
