For anyone that doesn't know of my computer record, the last time I broke this computer it just wouldn't get out of sleep mode. The techies in at the shop said the ram was apparantly missing, which is hard to believe since I don't think anyone was opening up the guts. And a whole lot of files were corrupted.
Well I've stuck again... apparently it is possible to half disconnect a mouse from a computer. As in the mouse and most of the mouse's cord it disconnected, but there's still a bit left in the sockeet. It doesn't look easily reparable. It's not good. It's a pain in the arse. I don't know how I'm going to break the news to my dad again. Perhaps deception is the best option, I'll buy another mouse to replace it. Although I still have to pry the bit stuck in the socket out of it...
It's not fair. I don't thiink of myself as a techno-gumby. It's only been this particular computer that does bad things when I look at it. Seriously. I know a lot of people that don't belive me, but it's true... I swear.
So now I'm sitting here on the floor, smelling like chlorine, wondering what the best course of action is... Bah.

Bent-nose pliers are often the best option.
And not just for getting broken bits of connector out of connector sockets... They aren't called bent-nose pliers for nothing...
Why did you smell like chlorine? Is there something you're not telling me?
Well...
I was wearing a bra that had recently found itself in a spa, so it was soaked fairly well in chlorine, and then it was probably made worse by a trip to the sauna afterwards... Turns out that our washing machine doesn't get chlorine out of clothing as well as could be hoped... Hence the chlorine smell.
