exnay on the flicking-ay...

i have since learnt that flicking through the manual is not sufficient and reading is actually required. once i got over the initial inconvenience i discovered that that mini cd like thingy is actually the program i need to install in my computer which in turn allows me to download music onto device thingy. brilliant! all sorted out.... you'd think. slept on it and then this morning my brother was annoying his girlfriend and i as we watched queer eye so i suggested he go install the program for me so that i didn't ruin the computer configuration (or whatever it was i came up with at the time). he took the 'suggestion' hook, line and sinker and toddled off to be my hero. 5 mins later he comes back stating we don't have a USB port on our computer (unfortunately a requirement to insert plug thingy in order to download music onto device thingy) and once again i was deflated. however, i fully intent to look at the computer tower myself and locate USB port. i just know it'll be one of those things that EVERY computer has... well mine will anyway cos i want it to! you here me computer? you better have that port thingy *shaking fist*. when i can be bothered looking i will.

one week from this very moment, i will be unemployed. i'm looking forward to that more than the trip i think. i should have just quit my job and become a bum at home, or at least somewhere in australia. it would have cost me less.
