Geek on Two Wheels

All work and no biking makes Yang a sad geek.

It’s just not a good time for me to have to think about and work on FroshWeek and everything else that’s going on in my life.

Lenovo has been called, and my replacement is on its way, so to speak. Gotta love IBM support: no hassle, no phone tag, no getting the run-around. The Indian folks on the techsupport line was a little bit of a challenge to deal with, as the phone multiplies the accent by about 5, but my interaction with them were either pleasant or very minimal.

The bad news, of course, is that I’ve managed to hit the September backorder yet again. My replacement won’t be arriving for another 3 to 4 weeks, but the machine I have now must be back in Lenovo’s posession before the end of the month.

On the house hunting side of things, despite my laziness (and Missy’s unwillingness) to actually call and inquire about accomodations, we did manage to arrive at a (very) short list of places we are going to investigate further. If you’re one of the people hoping to move into North Burnaby for the fall, and don’t mind sharing a space with a couple, a bunch of rodents, and a trio of bikes, let us know so that we can include larger places in our search.

As of today, as far as I’m concerned, the school semester is over aside from two finals, which are both too far away for me to start worrying about just yet.

Now, I can focus on dealing with the things that need more immediate attention, like getting this bloody laptop replaced with a non-defective one, find a place to live, make sure we’re ready for FroshWeek, and get a few more bike rides in before the summer’s over.
