Proxy: n. a person authorized to act for another
Post: n. a blog entry, like this.
My computer is on the fritz again, causing me shit fits – it’s a Windows boot issue, and though most of my data is backed up, the two files I’m presently working on are NOT and one I have to reconstruct by tomorrow. So….
I’m resorting to using a post sent to me by fengshuibyfishgirl
, a fellow WordPress blogger and feng shui practitioner. She is my proxy today while I hyperventilate and hurl dog turds and bad language at my computer.
She sends these definitions of PMS:
10 Things PMS Stands For:
1. Pass My Shotgun
2. Psychotic Mood Shift
3. Perpetual Munching Spree
4. Puffy Mid-Section
5. People Make me Sick
6. Provide Me Sweets
7. Pardon My Sobbing
8. Pimples May Surface
9. Pass My Sweatpants
10. Pitiful Mood Syndrome
I’ll take 2 aspirin and feel better in the morning. Grrrrrrr.
Good luck with the computer issue. There are definitely days when the time spent fixing them outweighs the time saved using them.
I highly recommend you get yourself a Mac Mini. They start at $599 and you can use your own monitor so that debunks the “macs are too expensive” theory. I don’t have any of the problems PC users have and I’ve been a Mac user forever.

Katy – Thanks for the great suggestion! The Mini just might be the perfect downsized machine for me… not a bad price either – and I like that I could use my existing peripherals.
I can’t believe I’m thinking about a Mac – I’ve been an under-the-hood PC user (have built and ungraded more machines than I can count) since the mid-80s and before that I had the amazing Vector Graphics – a CPM machine.
But life is too short and space gonna be too small to maintain my big honkin’ PC habit.

Hope you get the computer problem sorted – when they’re broken, makes one realise how much we depend on them.
