Selling parts and finding cockroaches

Monday, July 10th, 2006 | Helpful

Yeah, my day off…! I shall spend it watching endless tv~!

Wait, no can do. Somebody has emailed me saying he will buy my processor etc.. I have had this posted on Craigslist for like a month. I was meaning to turn around and sell it on ebay one of these days since it seemed that nobody was interested in it, but then poof… a buyer.

Of course, he lived in Tempe and only agreed to buy it if I installed it. Well whatever, that’s no big deal, it’s better than lowering my price (since I was still asking near retail price for a part that I openly listed as having been used before). So I drive out there and figured, put it in and a quick run out the door.

Damn was he crafty to get me to install that, because it was not just a simple part install. His motherboard didn’t support the chip right off the bat. I had to update his motherboard bios to get it to even support it. However he didn’t have internet access on that computer, and once I got online on a different computer and downloaded new firmware it was meant to be run from dos, which was another pain in the ass since he didn’t have a floppy to put it on and I did not have my memory stick formatted to be self-booting.

Blah, well anyways he got an hour and a half of work upgrading bios and installing amd drivers and teaching how to properly use both core’s of processor (opperating system shows it as 2 processors). He got all the install free because I was only there to sell him a part. I also can’t charge for computer service anymore unless it’s done for the company I work for. Of course they did agree when they hired me that I could still sell off the parts I had to sell, so that’s what I did.

Well, I get home only to discover a new insect in the bath tub. Not really a new type or anything, but so far the only bugs I have seen in the house have been crickets. Lots of crickets. Well this was not a cricket. It was a cockroach. Damn those fuckers are big. Apparantly Ken has also seen a cockroach which is why he has been bitching to instantly wash all the dishes. See we have a retarded dish washer where you need to wash the dishes before washing the dishes. I once made fun of somebody for doing that because I thought she was just being stupid (well this girl was). Turns out there really are dish washers that don’t have a place to actually send food particles through and just bounces them around. Yes, stupid, I agree.

Well, I personally don’t want to have cockroaches running around. I mean I am always bragging about not having any bugs down here. Of course I think cockroaches aren’t really bugs, more of some kind of small animal, but still they should just bugger off.
