IT issues…and more on the wowowo progress

March 15, 2009 · 25 Comments

I think technology dislikes me….a great deal…and just like Mo I’ve decided I will start looking for a SO who is thoroughly into IT….and all the hardware that comes with it…from phones to printers! (*King..ahem..cough cough)

I hate printers! I’ve added them onto a list of things that I have a love-hate relationship with..(they come right after lamps!)..If I could find a way of reproducing documents bila using a printer I’d be set…If I could convince the school printers to actually print out documents…not just eat up my printing allowance without so much as coughing out ONE page, I’d be happy….Last week I had to go and sweet talk the Computer Service guy into printing out my work, coz the printers were refusing to print from my account..yet eating up my money…and yet the work printed out from his account…what is that? And was I offered a refund? Nope! Just told it happens to some people..and they would look into it…aarrggh!!

PDF files are the current bane of my existence…I open one…and try and save it..and I get all sorts of weird error messages sent to my inbox…so tomorrow guess where I’ll be?? Yep! On a hot date with the Computer Services guy…..just realised I don’t know his name…

On a completely different note…got over my issues with my wo-wo-wo…and put on a dress on Friday..and actually left the house…with it on..as in I didn’t take it back to the shop..(yes if you’re wondering why this is a big deal to me…search for all posts with “wo-wo-wo” and you’ll understand why)..Guess I’m finally fulfilling one of my Christmas Day Resolutions…acceptance of me…..seeing that “me” comes attached to a “wo-wo-wo“…guess I’d better love it too…

Oooh…question time: Why is it when you meet someone you haven’t seen in a long time, they go like “Wow you have gained weight! You must be in a relationship!” What do the two have to do with each other? (Edit: Question does not refer to me….so just answer it objectively if you can…..)

    Printer’s? That’s one of the greatest stuff in IT world, Am glad I over came my printer addiction…would buy randomly esp if it looked small, cute and cheap…At least you have a date which is a good thing coz you are on the way to gaining weight. All those fancy restaurants and eating you’ll enjoy
    Lol…..not an actual date you know..

    Lets just say am seriously Tech Savvy… and yeah, these things happen to some people he hee…
    Some help you are Zax!!

  • Erique // March 16, 2009 at 9:45 am | Reply

    A tech post? No Val. You aint cut out for this. Go back to lovy dovy stuff or I call for a strike.
    Now….I don’t always talk about love-dovey stuff Erique..get your facts straight.

    Now to answer your question:
    1. Of course it refers to you.
    If you insist..
    2. More sex means more weight for the chick. Apparently, our semen is loaded with lots of nutrients that feed the chick. So basically whores are supposed to pay us for our health services.

    But weight increment depends on what your dude is eating. A guy like me who is loyal to buggers, pizza and all the stuff Bill Gates eats would naturally make you big. So it’s perfectly healthy (and recommended) to have sex with me.
    Recommended huh? Nah, I’ll pass on that one.

    However, a guy like, say, your boyfriend, wouldn’t give you anything coz he’s the type that eats popcorn for lunch and potatoes for supper. He’s not a wise choice.

    Power to you on the dress!!
    Oohh..thanks for the encouragement hun xx

    On the ladies gaining weight when in a relationship, it’s a fact, especially when they eat together alot.

    It’s cos when eating together, you tend to take the similar servings of food, more often than not, the guys’ which is more than what the lady would ordinarily eat, hence the weight gain.
    Now this theory makes sense to me….but what I don’t get is why ASSUME weight gain is a RESULT of being all loved up? The person could be eating coz they are depressed??
    @Erique, On the whole theory of semen containing nutrients, kindly do explain how these get absorbed pls?

    the weight thing as erique says is all in the sex, i do not buy his “nutrients” bit though, he is just forwarding his agenda.
    lol…guess his next comment proves that..

    more sex equals minimum stress. more relaxes means slower metabolism. there you go, you may apply that to the “glowing” myth too. open clean pores from all that sweaty sex and what not expunging said fat onto the skin giving it a healthy sheen.
    “more relaxes means slower metabolism.” <——- Really??? Now I know..(running to Google this)

    i have left now.

    hai val. you good?
    I’m good 3….yourself?

    PS. Printers can also “eat” your printed papers.
    Hmm…this wasn’t the case with me..coz it was printing out other documents..but refusing to acknowledge others..

  • Erique // March 16, 2009 at 11:19 am | Reply

    3, My theory is right. Period. Yours works only to complement mine. The semen makes you relax too and that’s how your theory comes in. Val, have sex with me and see if it doesn’t work.
    Note: I don’t need to gain weight…so yeah…no thanks

    Pink, when you put something in your mouth it gets absorbed. Am I getting somewhere? If you want details, ask that question again and with Val’s permission I’ll explain EVERYTHING.

    I really do not like that comment. Trust me if i gain weight am the first to know and who says its such a bad thing or i have to have a man for that to happen?
    I also don’t get the connection..good to know I’m not the only one

    The dress thing, you and me both, is a whole new world.
    I know!! It may seem trivial to others..but it was def an issue for me.

    I am liking that debate by Enrique and Eleet. I have heard of such a thing I dont know how true it is. May be I need to put it into practice.
    Do and post your results..

    It happens with printers at times. Especially the deskjets. Lasers are my favourite. No much hustle.
    Well I don’t have much of a choice with school printers…

    PDF? Not bad. Lately I’ve been able to edit them.
    I was told today I need software to be able to do that…I have not the energy or inclination to acquire them..PDF can go hang!

  • King // March 16, 2009 at 6:16 pm | Reply

    Hahahaha!! Those printing issues happen to everyone. Yes, even me. But PDFs rule!

    Racking up points on our little exchange programme, no?
    Definitely!!

    No comment on the weight vs relationship issue, but… hi Val. I hear you’ve gained weight. LOL.
    Tsk..I rebuke you!

    In other news, what’s with the protected tweets?

  • DoomsDay // March 17, 2009 at 1:16 am | Reply

    Erique..I had to comment again to disagree, The doctor recommend sex as a weight loss gain for those who can’t diet. Thinking about it, have you seen a fat stripper/whore?
    Erique and 3…I think this one is for you..

  • Mr. Back2Basics... // March 17, 2009 at 5:57 am | Reply

    “acceptance of me”
    that sounds nice Val…

    and about the wo-wowo, hey, as long as you can stretch when reaching over for the remote control for the Tv and CVD player, and it hurts, then yes, the wo-wo needs help!!!
    Stretching I can do.,..no worries there.

    Doom, the whores use rubbers. See?

  • DoomsDay // March 18, 2009 at 10:44 am | Reply

    You have no idea how much they swallow..lol

  • Erique // March 18, 2009 at 12:45 pm | Reply

    Doom, prob with that is they use up the swallowed energy to romp. So technically, they are only trying to replace lost energy (and you wonder where Lucozade got their slogan). They can’t grow fat that way.

  • Screamer // March 18, 2009 at 2:41 pm | Reply

    Wo-wo-wo, I just want to know what that means…
    Thanks for dropping by…wowowwo is TZ slang/swa for the backside :)

    About printers and other machines, I read some blog about this guy who also complained about these electronic/electrical appliances, arguing that they have minds of their own.. like when one time when his comp was being a pain in the a** and he talked to it saying “you are one piece of of sh**, you know that?” The comp went dead and the power went off!
    I believe that…coz I routinely sweet talk all my stuff..lol

    I don’t know, but I do get along just fine with these machines. Treat them as you would like them to treat you.

    Finally, I take it you don’t wear and dresses and go out the house with them, or was it just this particular one?
    I usually don’t wear dresses..

    Me? well, the word PDF ..i hate it.

  • Sybella // March 20, 2009 at 5:51 am | Reply

    ((clapping)) that is good progress val. you must have looked smashing…
    Thanks Sybella :)

    i am surprised none of the boys haven’t asked for a pic…

    about the putting weight & being in a relationship, i think it is assumed by people that you are happy in the relationship and that translates into no stress thus putting on weight… yeah, i know, doesn’t make much sense…
    Well at least this makes more sense than Erique up there…

  • DoomsDay // March 20, 2009 at 7:48 am | Reply

    @ Sybella, Some of us have given up. When Val finally accepts herself and is confident enough maybe then shall we glimpse the wowowwo
    I never said that I would post any pics…..so stop assuming things about me ok?

  • lulu // March 21, 2009 at 6:29 am | Reply

    hahahaha they have it in their constricted circles that people who are in relationships gain weight, when it comes to electronics, the basicks plse…as for wowowo, i need to find it
    To find the meaning? Ama to get back your own wowowo?? lol

  • Darius Stone // March 24, 2009 at 12:34 pm | Reply

    LOL! Talk about descending into a soft porn forum arguing a case for sex influencing body mass indices and wowowo’s.
    Lol…there are some comments I just by-passed completely

    I agree with Pink on this one – if you’re solo, you probably eat less and when with someone, you probably feast without even knowing it.
    Here I was waiting for a thesis from you Mr. Stone….:) I like the simple explanation though

  • Darius Stone // March 24, 2009 at 5:23 pm | Reply

    LOL Val….I can do simple sometimes….

    I was just bemused at the tangent the conversation took. My wife is a touch more ruthless than I am on such cliche comments aimed at her…I remember her once retorting to someone “I ain’t f*^&$%g pregnant you freak…LOL! I think she was just pissed off that whoever said it didn’t appreciate the goddamn hard work it took to keep fit…hehehe.

  • mboizmnoma // March 31, 2009 at 10:07 pm | Reply

    am lol’est at how erique forwarded his agenda! nway i think sybella is right – less stress, more happiness thus more weight. (stress apparently makes food not ‘reach’ the stomach or so i’ve heard)
