Out Of Whack

I'm trying to make this post in a rush. My computer monitor is flickering again and I don't know if I'll be able to whack it to obedience (again) or it will completely do what it wants to do (compress my view to about a third of the screen). Without my precious monitor, I won't be able to accept online work, write posts to my blogs, surf the web, play games or simply chat or read emails. Waahh...

I already called a computer repair shop and I was told if I'll bring my monitor right away, I could have it back in a week's time. A week of forced online absence? A week of no work and earning? Waahh...

The other alternative is for me to buy a new monitor but I'm hesitant to shell out the money because I know that the problem with my monitor is someting that could be fixed. How do I know it's curable? Well, it still responds to my whacks, doesn't it? It just needs to be whacked more times than before and my hands end up hurting. Waahh...

My husband tells me it could simply be a problem of a coil getting loose. Yeah... simple, but nobody at home can fix it. Sigh...

What's the use of a computer if you have no monitor? What's the use of having an Internet connection if you don't have a monitor?

I'm using a 15" CRT monitor right now, maybe I can get myself a bigger one. Hmm... now that's something I could look forward to.

I remember using computer for playing music on computer when my monitor was not working. It was a test of patience to use computer without monitor.
