Musings on my neverending quest for sugar

I HATE MY COMPUTER

So, the motherboard is STILL attached to the case, and I've stripped the screw on the inside AND outside. Not that the outside hex shape would have helped much - it was like 5.5 mm and good luck finding a socket that size...I've already gone to Home Depot twice today. I've even tried taking everything out of case - now my computer is in pieces all over the floor.

And while I was trying to get it out, my hand slipped and a piece of the motherboard took off a chunk of my fingertip. I'm so pissed it doesn't even hurt. On my second trip to Home Depot, I drove basically one-handed while holding a tissue to my damaged finger, and walked around holding a bloody tissue. Didn't care what people thought. At least I can still type - hopefully that means I'll be able to have my piano lesson on Wednesday.

I think the only option now is drilling it out, and by this point I'm only too glad to do it. (DIE, COMPUTER, DIE!!!!) If I have to buy a new case, so be it, if the motherboard is fairly intact and MSI is still willing to replace it.
