I give up on trying not to be frustrated

Post Reply New Topic

Why is it that every single freaking time I try to do something to reduce my stress, I end up with significantly more stress than if I hadn't tried to reduce it.

Now rather than try to concentrate and write quality analysis while music is blaring and conversations are being shouted out overtop of me I thought I'd fork over some money for a rental of the software I need. This way i can work at home.

Well I should have just needed to purchase a renewel license, but nope my email address has changed so I have to get the whole dang software pack instead
Which wouldn't be so bad, but for some inane reason vista has decided that "rewrite all files without asking" means "do not rewrite any files." And i no for a fact i didn't accidentally click the wrong thing because i went through this process 6 times already with the same results

So after searching my harddrive quite thoroughly to ensure the files were not only not rewritten but not duplicated elsewhere I decided to see what i could do for help on the site I bought the software on. My computer has kindly signed me out of that site and since they give you the password I don't know it. The passwords in my yahoo account by yahoo email also chose this moment to stop working - i can't open any emails.


Gaaah, and this was all done so i could have a nice relaxing day without getting frustrating. i don't even know why i bother trying to do anythign

Vista is just awful, isn't it? I hope that tomorrow you find the answer to all of these problems, and can have the quiet workplace that you desire!

Well i finally got into yahoo so I'm going to try the three hour download again - I uninstalled the program which I really didn't want to given all the unnecessary problems that usually occur when you do that, but it doesn't seem like i have much choice

I'm too frustrated to work right now and i told the professor i'd have this down for her tomorrow. I hadn't worked on it earlier in the week because my seizures were knocking me out then i spent most of yesterday at the doctors office listening to some crazy people demand special treatment. Theres no way I'm going to be relaxed enough to get this done in time now even if vista decides to work right the second time around


I'm worried I'm going to be out the $50 I didn't have to spend on this software. Because SPSS accepted the validation code but my software didn't accept their validation because of the files not being rewritten

For bleeping sake. I put the files in the recycle bin and emptied the dang bin before I redid the download.

You think that would be a pretty big clue for vista to use the files I'm now downloading rather than ones I had on my computer before right?

Nope, the downloaded files are datestamped with january 2 - the date i initially downloaded this software.

What the f is the computer doing for 3 hours if its not recording any of the fiiles i'm downloading?

I am changing this post because it was seemingly pointless, and mean.

I'm trying not to use any disorder as an excuse for being mean, becuase i know God dislikes it when i am mean and say rotten things. I went to church and read my bible for the first time in long time, so i am refreshed as to simply treating people as i want to be treated.

I am truly sorry about your day, and I hope that you are blessed to have everything well again.

You think its nothing, huh? I can't drive, I can't work, can't go any place. Missed out on having my own work publicized and redoing this data analysis is the only chance I have of getting a co-publication - pretty much a necessity if I'm ever to get into doctoral school. And pretty much the only thing I can do at all in life right now given the circumstances. I'm struggling to pay bills being as I've no income, 17,000 in medifcal debt and denied medicaid, and forked over $50 I didn't have just so I'd have a decent shot at the future and this is what i encounter

perhaps having a future and being able to to more than cash a disability check and watch tv is nothing to you, but i actually intend to make something out of my life. I don't intend to set at home and be a wastelss welfare blob who has so little of value in their life they need to go into safe forums and attack people for their kicks

I'd love to be able to sit around and whine about something that has no impact whatsoever on life, like a silly childhood dance, but unfortunately I don't have that luxury. I've real world concerns like this one that will have a significant impact on my future

If you have nothing supportive to say, then don't post here.

You call Triangular_Trees issues nothing?

How about you acutally READ what was written and stop acting like a brat

Sorry about your day Triangular, hopefully things will get better. Sometimes you just wanna beat the C**p out of Vista
