I am upset.
Permalink  

If any of you have been wondering where I have been. I have been trying to fix my laptop computers installation of windows (stupid thing is in an activation loop and won't let me log on, several repairs and reinstallations haven't helped, and I don't think Microsoft tech support has a clue how to help me), and I am trying to get my computer to work again so I can show off some of my work when I apply for another job. I am still trying to get over quiting from my last job, and feelings that I can't handle anything.

Mostly though I think it has been the politics recently. I have tried not to let it bother me, but I think all of this big media hoopla over the primaries has gotten to me. Romney gets blasted for being 'negative' against Huckabee and McCain, when I think it is well deserved. Huckabee winning Iowa, and McCain winning NH. My favorite talk show host is openly supporting McCain, and defending Huckabee (saying that his win in Iowa didn't have anything to do with Evangelical voters). And yet at the same time I am very disappointed with the way Romney has done things, and having thoughts that maybe I don't want him as the nominee, just so this whole anti mormon sentiment (that people keep on saying isn't there) would go away.

I almost feel like my head is going to explode.

P.S.
Without a computer or a job with a computer I haven't been here much. I have tried to catch up in the past 15 minutes. Oh well.

This whole election has been disheartening to me, as well. I don't know who to root for. . . who to vote for. . . I just watch and wonder what's going to happen. Hopefully by the time I'm in the poll booth I'll have a clue.

Sorry about the computer problems. That's always a headache.

Hope things get better soon. I hope your computer gets fixed and your job challenges work out and you find the best fit place. It is hard when real life isn't as easy as a math problem!! ( I don't mean that to sound condescending but just as a vote of approval for you since you are a math person).

Here is a talk that was linked in yesterday's LDS "Nugget" it is a talk by Elder Scott about Finding Joy in Life. Timely for me for many reasons. I strive to be happy and do things right but the last little bit of life has been a point where I've sometimes felt like giving up hope in some areas of life. Also it can be hard for me to avoid feeling overcome by all I need to do as well as what I want to do. I hope you will find this talk useful, words in it were helpful to me.

And it is ok to be upset!! Right now I am annoyed and sort of hurt by something someone (albeit probably unknowingly) did. I feel I could have been treated w/a tad more human kindness. Anyway, for whatever it is worth to you at this time:

For all you Romney supporters, it was mentioned on a local radio talk show yesterday that Mitt is actually winning in the delegate count even though he has come in second both times. The host said that that is the number you should really be looking at because even the 2 guys that have come in first at each primary are trailing Mitt in the numbers end of it.

I am still very undecided and our state primary is Tues, Jan 15.

PT: I'm annoyed with that favorite talk-show host too. He's really let me down this season. The only other time I've felt so frustrated at Medved was immediately after 9-11 when he would belittle people who thought we as a nation should be less materialistic and that we should be humbled by the terrorist experience.

That said, I'm all for Mitt. I've been impressed at how "nonnegative" he's been about the people in the race, focusing on the issues rather than the low-hanging paranoia of the American people... in the last debate he even stood up for the evil drug companies... :)

Whoohoo, I got my computer fixed.

Reformatting it again, and convincing Microsoft Tech support to give me a new Product key seemed to do the trick. Now I am on to installing drivers and the programs I want (At this moment I am installing Visual C++ & Visual C#, so I can get back to my hobby of programming games).

As to the politics, I have taken a break from most of it. It's just the daily newspaper, and the e-mails I get when I manage to have the internet.

I am not that upset anymore. biggrin

I hope you are using the Deseret News and not the Salt Lake "Gen-tile" Tribune.

I know they are both owned by the same company but the Trib really does cater to the non-LDS crowd.

Glad the computer is up and running.

The Deseret News is what I get at my house. When I was still going to the university I would usually read both. I know what you mean.
