April 9, 2012 – Selling My HP 635 Laptop – Posting the Ads

At around 7 a.m. I was woken up by tit, saying we were going to do the Easter whipping, at least here around the house. But even though I answered him just like I answer everyone, right after that I immediately fell into a deep sleep. What finally woke me up was mim, screaming because my brother and father were terribly tormenting her with juniper switches.

In those first moments of being awake, I thought tit had gotten an electric shock somewhere again, but I quickly realized it was mim and what was going on. Still, it gave me a shock and I would not fall asleep again, so I sat down at the PC. I just did not feel like doing anything, not even the ads for that laptop, which I had finally posted on at least one site yesterday, though still without a photo, because I did not feel like taking pictures before bed yesterday – partly also because I wanted it well lit, which is hard with the gloom that reigns in there.

First I called mim into the kitchen, having hidden the juniper switch behind the fridge, and as soon as mim came in, I gave her a proper whipping. Then mim called my sister, but I had to wait for her for about 15 minutes, because she was stubbornly fighting a battle with the printer – she is always printing something. In the end she came, so she got the Easter whip from me too. The best part was that she went into a corner instead of hiding somewhere from me – apparently she thought I would stop once she was in the corner – did she really think I would swish her 2 times and leave it at that?

If you are going to do something, do it properly, right? Before noon, tit started repairing the 25-year-old sofa, which had come apart, partly through my own fault as well; of course it was not just age and wear. Naturally he vented his anger on me, banged his tools on the floor, scolded mim, who tried to defend me by saying that I cannot help my illness, and yelled about what a lunatic and a fucking bastard I am, along with various other names, which I do not take to heart from him or anyone else, because I have always been a curse on this whole family, since long before I was even born, so there is nothing I can do about it – the only thing I can do is learn to live with it, and I have completely come to terms with it and gotten used to it.

I started blaming myself for how hopeless I am and how tit is right about everything, and my tears only confirmed it, because tears never lie (see the song Tragen Lugen Nicht, a la Soleado). In the end I was so cold in that room that I lay down in bed and fell asleep instantly. Before I fell asleep, I wrote to @pes502 to give me his e-mail or Jabber and I would help him with that C# problem. When I woke up, I had an invite on Jabber from @pes502, but he had stepped away just a minute earlier and came back about 20 minutes later.

Then I solved a few problems with him and slowly finished those ads – I also put it on Aukro (maybe overpriced, but who knows?). Then I called O2 to find out what FUP I have on the mobile internet that Alza.cz gave me for free with my 1st laptop. Just as Alza claimed, it is apparently 500MB per day (which is incredibly much; O2 offers a 500MB FUP, but per month (which means my FUP is 31 times bigger per month) for 300 CZK per month (whereas I got it free for half a year) 👻 A page used to live here. Now there is only wind and weeds., and on top of that the SIM card can also be used normally in a phone, you just need to activate SMS and voice services on it :).

Anyway, on HI I set a price of 4,750 CZK, and since midnight 2 people got in touch right away – one offered 3,000 CZK and the other 4,000 CZK, adding in the same breath “serious interest“. I wrote to both of them that I would let them know within a week whether any other offers had come in. Then I added it to Aukro, and at the same time I was packing the laptop and getting it ready for shipping. Mim had thrown away the box from the old one (together with the piano box), which was a pity, because that way I could not include the branded HP bag that came with the first one.

But it fit easily into the box from this laptop, so I have that covered too. In the evening, for a big change, I was in the living room, watching Udalosti on CT1 (which is, in my opinion, awful these days; in its execution it is worse than Nova 🙁 ) and in the end I brought the laptops in.

My sister immediately wanted my old one, because the fan in her current one is dying or already dead, but I had to tell her that I had already posted the ads and that I was going to sell the laptop to someone. The evening was relaxed; tit has been sleeping from 4 p.m. until now and hopefully he will sleep until morning, because if he wakes up, he will be pouring rum into himself again. I wrote this in under 30 minutes and it is a terrible draft, sorry, but I really had to write it quickly.
