Yes, Things Happen In Threes!

[debris4spike]

Yesterday I had work cancelled due to the fact there was no one to actually run the clinic ... pretty good reason I suppose!  Although it was annoying to lose the 3 hours pay, I decided that the time off would be good for me health wise.

I then decided that for some of that spare morning I would start to write some Christmas letters as there always seem to be no real time.  I have a few friends I just contact at Christmas, and have inherited some of Mum & Dad's friends as well.  So, great, my day had a plan!

I turned on the PC ... and, needn't have bothered!  Yes the intermittant problems had added together to leave me with a useless box of electronic bits!  Oh well, annoying, and expensive, but something I had been semi expecting!  So, I picked up the car keys to drive to the shop ... to find that the battery had gone in the car-key, so had no alarm/automatic locking.  So, #2

Anyway I spent yesterday beginning to set up the new pc, and continued this morning.  I wrote a letter to USA, and one to Australia ... only to find that my printer has also died!

#3

So, frustrating ... although, at least I have been off work so I can get the things repaired/replaced.  Although off work means no money, so thanks Mum & Dad for the new computer.

Oh well .. off printer shopping later.

Hope eveyone else is having a better day than me!

Oh good grief - so many tech woes! I'm glad you had time to sort them out, but what a nightmare! Hopefully that's your three things for this month ....

Mind you, I think I "hoped" it would be the printer or something easy ... otherwise the expenses would have been even worse!

Hopefully that's my 3 until at least next year ;)

Oh dear.

Mine is still iffy about charging, I worry about it just refusing totally.

Mine is a desktop and it had been getting worse for some time ... so guessedit was on it's way out.

Luckily I have Cloud storage so nothing was lost.

Eh ... I hope not (comes in three) but they mostly are.

Last week Friday my car died and I had to wait to get it fixed because it needed a new starter that had to be ordered from the manufacturer. And it all started because the car-key didn't function. This Thursday evening it was fixed.
Eh they forgot to change the key battery as I told them and now with a new battery it functions again! Does that count as two?
I really hope so. When I came home from shopping saturday the refrigerator had gone warmer again. So I'm defrosting it and hope it works again (it's a no frost unit but after one year it's full of ice).

If that makes three it's okay if nothing more bad happens. That was enough.
And there is enough around here that could stop working like my older phone....

Be glad you have already three even it it's annoying, isn't it?

Oh wow - we are a matched pair, aren't we? Hope that you managed to get everything sorted out, and that things are going better now

[cordykitten]

Yeah, we match *gg*
Looks good at the moment though, the stuff that acted up. Car is okay, the key works and I put the food back into the now cool refrigerator. First it got warmer again from the transported food but then it settled so YAY.

Hope that nothing else will go wrong. Enough for both of us for this year, huh? And hopefully the next year is better. *sigh*

Everything goes at once, doesn't it! I hope the last few days have been better.

I have "banned" everything else from breaking down!!
