Instead of resting...
Well, today I slept in 'til 8:30am (unintentionally). I think I should get a job working nights, or at least 2nd shift!
When I finished work, I intended to come home, eat, and go to bed, so that I could start early tomorrow (and finish early).
But, now I have finished my application to work in customer service in Green Bay - a job with advancement potential, not to mention easier work (sitting down, talking on a phone & typing on a computer). I like working outside, but it does take its toll.
That took me a while, as my computer froze up, my trackball stopped working, and my cable internet connection failed. I was able to fix/work around the problems, but all the difficulties made me begin to think I wasn't supposed to submit the application!! However, it is done, and I will await the interview with hope & prayer. If this doesn't lead somewhere, at least I am trying to better my lot in life.
Then I worked on my microwave. I took it apart the other day,and was able to "jury-rig" some sensors in order to get it working again (it was shutting off or blowing the internal circuit breaker after only a few seconds (or milliseconds) of use).
I used it for lunch the other day, and afterwards, it quit entirely.
I took it apart, determined the circuit board was to blame, and spent perhaps hours (while doing other things) searching for a replacement part. Needless to say, I couldn't find one, though similar printed circuit boards (PCBs, which totally screwed up search results, as you can imagine!) ranged in price from $99-$156!!! An entire new microwave would be less expensive!!
I will check with some local repair shops - maybe I can find the part I need. Another option is to find a used microwave that I can scrounge the part from. I hate to toss the rest of the microwave, or buy a new one, when there is only one non-working part!
Fortunately, I was able to keep busy enough with things that my mind didn't wander off much, so now I am in decent spirits as I head to bed, but still...
