New Job and Dell Recall

Well I did it. I managed to get a...gasp...job. It's not a "real" job where I have to work 40 hours a week. Rather, it's a nice little part time job as a library assistant at a local library. I've been playing with the idea of going into a Masters of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program for a few months so I figured I should find out if I would actually like working in a library before I invest all that money. It'll only be no more than 15 hours a week which should be tolerable for my depression. I start today so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will like this job.

I don't know if you heard but Dell will be doing a big recall on their laptop batteries, in that they can blow up. Nice thing to know. Since I have a Dell laptop I decided to check out the information up on their website. This newest recall information isn't up yet, but there was a recall in December 2005 for a smaller lot of batteries. Lo and behold, my laptop battery is listed. Ya know, it would've been nice if they had actually notified me of this. It's not like they don't have my information. Bah. So, I ordered a replacement battery which will take "20 business days." Until then, I'm supposed to take the battery out of my laptop and use my power cord instead. Bah. School starts on the 6th and my new battery won't be in before that. Well, let's pray that my laptop doesn't blow up in the middle of Criminal Investigation or Introduction to Sociology. LOL.
