I found a picture of my dad working on a car on the internet. It was one of the stock images for the street view of Google Maps, but still pretty great to see.
My laptop screen's fucked, the backlight's gone on it; I get a display for a second when I open the lid but then it goes dark. It's been like this for a few months and I handed it in for repair at a friend's shop but they then shut down so it never got fixed. I'm using a monitor plugged in to my laptop to see what I should see on my laptop screen.
Now, the thing:
I got tired of the HDMI cable slipping out of the slot because the side of my laptop doesn't have the screw-bits to hold it in, so it just slips out all the time. Annoying when the display suddenly goes blue, red or green then a black screen because it's slipped out, then I have to wait for it to use the monitor again when I plug it back in.
The solution? Let's just say parceltape is a wonderful invention.
First day of my Sector-based-work-academy course went well. The people there were friendly, I can have a good laugh with them and the woman who teaches it joins in - it's great.
Also we took a test to see how we are in English and Maths. I struggled in Maths but soared in English.
