bedlamsbardMy fucking computer is fucking fired. FIRED, I SAY, THAT MOTHERFUCKER. Like, I don't know what I did in a past life to be cursed with this shit, BUT GOD DAMN IT WHY DO COMPUTERS HATE ME, WHY, WHY, WHY.
And to think, previously my day had been...well, not great. But not awful. And then this shit. Like, I was mostly pretty emotionally stable until THIS SHIT. At the moment I am trying to calm down enough to type without swearing and also to stop worrying about knocking my full mug of tea over with my wild gesticulations, because that would really be all I need.
Okay, okay, in case anyone has any advice besides "get thee to a computer repair shop stat", here is what is going on:
I unplugged my headphones earlier at some point because I was trying to skype with my parents (which is not going particularly swimmingly because I still couldn't hear anything from their end, though they could hear me). So I finished up with them (me talking, them IMing), plugged my headphones in, and...my headphones aren't working. Sound is only coming out through the computer speakers. And the headphones are definitely plugged in all the way -- I've taken them out and put them back in a couple of times, and I've also tried it with a different set of headphones, so it has to do with the computer. Of course I've only got one headphone jack on this computer, unfortunately.
This happened a couple of days ago -- maybe a week? And I managed to fix it somehow, I don't remember how. For all I know I just unplugged and replugged in the headphones a couple of times. I think that might also have been right after I tried skyping my parents, and I know I keep screwing around with the settings there, so it might be related, but I can't for the love of anything remember what I did, and I don't think that I've unplugged my headphones since then. Normally I just listen to everything on headphones, so this is really upsetting to me. (Shh, I don't want my flatmates to know that I just listened to the same Ke$ha song on repeat for three hours straight, for one.)
Any advice, anyone? (I think my computer is still on warranty...in another country, obviously. Ugh, everything awful.)
Now I am very tired, my wrist hurts again (what I was originally going to write this post on before my computer decided to hate on me), and I have class tomorrow. Also I'm back to hating everything, and I'm unsatisfied with my hair today.
ETA: Reboot fixed it. *slinks away* Probably should have tried that first.
