Slight glitch

So as I continue this journey, new experiences are bound to happen and always welcomed... at least if they are not technological complications, which I experienced as recent as last week. Thursday, I left work a little early, came home and did a little more work before leaving out for a women's small group (more to come on that, but it was from a church I visited) I joined and attended for the first time. When I returned home from the small group, which turned out to be a large group, I wanted to work on some homework. Surprisingly, when I opened the laptop (work laptop), the left side of the montior was somehow detached from the base of the computer (the keyboard). Still not sure how that happened, but it was quite strange and the laptop still worked. Of course, I had to take it in to IT on Friday---by the way, I do not go into the office on Fridays (or Mondays, or when it's not so good weather, but I digress). The IT guy was very understanding, nice, and willing to replace it, but he had to wait for someone else first. My obejctive was a repair, rather than a replacement. The guy he later sent to my office was condescending and rude, but to his surprise he was not able to just speak to me in any manner he wanted because I (gracefully and professionally, of course) was assertive (using my psychology) and stuck to the truth. The audacity and arrogance of him to say "I do not believe you." While he tried to laugh it off, it did not work because he was very serious and rude, and the only one laughing too. My response: that's fine, but it's the truth. After he fixed and returned the laptop, he told me not to break it (OMG, the nerve!). My response: I didn't break it before. Never understood why people try to mistreat others... Anyways, I'm glad I was not on trial or something.

A little while later, I left the office to go home to a beautiful warm and sunny October(?) weekend. While waiting for a bus, a friend called and we had a spontaneous lunch/early dinner date...it was so needed! We were both hungry and just wanted to hang out, so we ate and then did a little shopping at MAC and Ulta.
