My computer was having deep issues so I enlisted the help of my dad to fix it. After a week of not truly believing me that I had problems, he sat down to use my computer and was absolutely shocked that it crashed! So, this is the course of action that he took:
FRIDAY: he promises to get me the software needed for ‘maximum virus protection’.
FRIDAY NIGHT: he comes home from work (a computer company) with a dramatic story about how he was driving along and a nail got stuck into one of the car’s tires. He would get it fixed on Saturday.
SATURDAY: he leaves at dusk to get the tire fixed and to get me my software (from his friend’s company I assume). He returns home with a great story about how he stopped at a gardening shop and decided that we should buy tonnes of like, sand and shit, and re-model. My mother called him crazy saying she’s not about to spend her time in the garden digging when she doesn’t really even want to.
SUNDAY: before I went to work I finally asked if he got the software and whether he would be fixing my computer whilst I was gone. He said tersly “Well, I didn’t go out yesterday did I?”
MONDAY NIGHT: at almost midnight, he sits down to fix the computer because he said that the program is actually downloadable online so there shouldn’t be an out of date issue (which was the problem to begin with). It was ever so frustrating that I just sat down and did it myself considering that the software was available all along!
Now, I’m not playing the blame game, but I feel that the tire of our car has a lot to answer for.
