Dana, if you can wait until this evening I could do it then.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, Tom. If no one else pops up, I'll send it on to you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dana, I wouldn't be able to do it until evening either, so I'll let tommyrot do the honors, but I did want to suggest that you contact the person who sent it to you -- OpenOffice can export files in Word format, and anyone who uses it is probably used to having to do so.

Unless it's my mom. But yes, we will be having a talk about how to do that. I'm just trying to minimize the stress on her at the moment.

Yes -- for neworleanean moms there can be an exception.

If I only had a brain...
Apple Customer Service is teh BEST.
I went to the Apple store with my hyperclean iPod Mini and my sad story. The person agreed that it was probably beyond hope. I explained that my son really loved Minis, and now they were discontinued. She went into the back of the store, found a couple of open-box Minis (opened and returned), gave me the open-box discount, and then gave me the recycled iPod discount.
Rock on.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, my tale.
When I moved in in July, I set up the Internet. It worked. When my roommates moved in, I set up the wireless router (which one of them had), but it refused to let me set up a password system. I called my tech support. He said that the router was broken and a new one was needed. Roommate #1 said we should call her brother. We did. He had us set up a MAC address filter. Since then (and even then), the router gets pissy when you try to talk to it (the 192.168.1.1 stuff. Getting to the Internet is stable, unless you try to talk to it, or anyone else tries to get on.). It crashes. It also does not let anyone other than me and RM#1 on the wireless, even after I try to change the settings.
Now, the diag light is on solid, and it's not letting me on at all, wired or wireless.
Any ideas on how to fiix it or convince the roommates that, no, it wasn't working fine before?
