The IRS wants $800 from me.
There's $400 needing paid on traffic tickets that I never received in the first place.
There's being oncall the last 1.5 weeks (not over the holiday thank god) and getting a call every damn day except for this morning.
And my computer just dropped dead.

If you were thinking of getting me something for christmas, $ towards the new computer will be helpful.

UPDATE:

Touched base with wurmfood on what's going on and he thinks it may well just be that the harddrive- which I'd been meaning to replace in this box at the very least anyways- got hosed by the power surge. I have another hard drive around the house, so I will check on that option when I get home.

I hope, I hope, I hope.

    We still have custody of your old hardware; will it be of assistance in the meantime?

    We're too poor to contribute moneys, but if having a geek run around and buy parts and put things together for you would be any help, Kai would be happy to Santa that part. Faster than mail-order, and saves you the couple hours of tedious hardware setup.

      wurmfood suggests my problem may just be a fried hard drive- I'm going to check that, first and foremost. If that's it, I'll stick it out with this box for another 6 months - yr.

    Just so you know, the IRS takes payment plans.

      It depends on the situation, but it's an option worth exploring.

        their letter mentions it, so I'm suspectin' that payment arrangements are a possibility.
        I just hate the idea because they'll probably throw usurious interest on top of it.

      yeah, and I figure that's the tactic to take. *sigh* just annoying that I have to.

      stay tuned to this space for further developments, actually- I'm gonna try swapping the HD, as the symptoms of dysfunction seem to indicate HD death.

      I get something of a discount on Dell hardware myself, actually, being an employee of the great satan, so. I'm not going Apple, but I may well be lazylazy and go Dell.

      Oh right! See, this is why I posted that, to remind myself there's $ that people owe me. *heh*

        Well, then, we gotta get this show on the road, sunshine. Besides, I want QT with my 'Daddy'. *giggle* *flashing back to a few certain wacky social events*
