I am depressed

Forever Empress E
My fairly new monitor isn't working. Replaced it with another, old one laying around the house so I'm back on line but now the speakers aren't working. I just bought this set up back the first of June. I knew better than to buy it from Best Buy. Should have never done it, sorry every time I get something from them.

The little stereo in my bedroom is only a few months old too, and it stopped working the other night.

The TV in my living room keeps turning on by itself too.

And, last night, it sounded like somebody came out of one of the closets in my room, then shut the door behind them. The cat and I both jumped out of the bed, but, when I turned on the lights, no one was in the room or the closet.

I don't necessarily believe in ghosts and spooky things, even if it is close to Halloween.

On the list of "next man must have these attributes:"
Be able to fix electrical appliances
Be able to fix computer and stereo equipment
Must check out the unexplained noises and be able to explain them

Yes, I am a sexist piggie.
 
I don't think you're sexist.

I can't fix anything electrical or anything that deals with computers. The other day, GTC had to take apart my laptop for me and tighten a loose screw that was fucking up my disc drive. Had he not known what to do, I would have been screwed.

And yet, I can do lots of things that he can't.

It's all about the balance, really :)

It's really shitty about all the things going wrong. If the computer's that new, can't you take it back to Best Buy or call Geek Squad (or whatever it's called) and have them come look at it? If you threaten to tell all of your acquaintances not to shop there and you threaten to write letters to their headquarters, they might send someone out free of charge. I remember my mom got that to work years ago with Dodge/Chrysler.

I would be freaked out about the noise, though. Especially if that cat jumped, animals are sometimes more in tune to things like that than we are.
 
I never have problems with monitor. I have even spilled beer inside them and they still work.

Here in the computer room I have 6 monitors, a spare for each box. If I get a new computer soon that will make 7. Too many damn monitors.
 
Yeah, I'll have to take the monitor in for service. It is like it went to sleep and refuses to wake up. After my experience with Best Buy over a number of appliances I bought from them when I bought my house, I don't have high expectations. After almost a year of trying to deal with them, I finally gave in and bought new stuff from someone else. More than likely, I will fuss over this for a little bit, make another "I hate Best Buy" horror story website, then buy another monitor elsewhere.

The little stereo in my bedroom only cost $30 new so I'll probably just replace it too.

The cats are probably turning on the TV. I've caught them in there watching porn in the middle of the night several times. Cats are like that - clever and devious and into porn.

I fix or replace stuff all the time. I'm just tired of messing with stuff. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone around who would just take care of things.

The noise didn't freak me out at first. I thought maybe I was imagining it - being half asleep. But, the cat freaked out and then I got scared. The dogs sleep outside my bedroom door in the hall. If there had been anyone in the house, they'd have been barking and knocking down my door. If it was a ghostie, well, I could sleep through that.
 
Your cats watch porn...??

Let me guess, they're male cats, right? :D

My family had an experience with Sears like you've had with Best Buy. I don't remember it, but I still refuse to shop there. If you raise enough of a stink, they might do it right this time.

I'm actually a fan of Best Buy, they have some good, cheap movies occasionally. I've never gotten anything expensive from there, though, and that might be why I haven't had any problems.

It seems that often when I cut off the TV it is on a channel that turns into porn late/late night or early morn. The animals just like the sound and motion coming from the TV. They are as enraptured by the bouncing notice to "press select" to actually see the screen after the satellite dish has uploaded new programming. They haven't figured out the remote yet.

After work, had four new tires put on the car - Michelin Symmetries - my car feels much better, like it is wearing shoes that fit. While I was waiting for the tires to be put on the car, went shopping and picked up a new monitor, speakers and a little stereo to replace the messed up stuff. Everything is plugged up and working now so I'm pleased again. Tomorrow, baby car is getting a good washing and cleaning out. Saturday - I've got an appointment with Saturn to get a front end alignment and an oil change. After the car is inspected, I'm off on a weekend road trip with the kid to literally look at roses, lions and tigers, Oh My!

On top of that, the weather is promising to be cool with plenty of sunshine this weekend, excellent for being outdoors.

It is all going to be okay.

Thanks for hanging with me during this little episode.
 
Regarding the original post, have you considered having an exorcism conducted?

I'm available for such things and would be willing to trade my services for a nice bottle of Scotch. With enough Scotch I can even do it telepathically.
