To Maine, I always pack my own laptop because Mom has a history of sort of accidentally breaking pieces if I let her So it's fine

Moosey packed his and Dad's

He... failed. He left his cord in Dad's bag, only packed half of Dad's cord, and then forgot Dad's laptop bag <<; he's been out of it.

Dad's desktop has been fucky wucky for awhile

Sometimes he uses moosey's desktop but today he broke down and said "fuck this" and went for his laptop

Had to scramble to get the bag and discovered half of the cord missing etc. but managed -- barely

Then logging in; Mom keeps stealing his phone so he was getting flustered because he wasn't allowed to log in without his phone etc.

Mom starts freaking out gradually over Dad's frustration, so she begged me to go help him

I picked it up to set in my lap to type in the password etc. -- and dropped the mouse because I am not used to laptops having a mouse hooked in (I just touchpad okay) mind you, the mouse only dropped like 20 centimeters

and it was connected by cord

but SOMEHOW that sent the laptop in completely freezing up, nothing worked, touchpad, the rest

I thought maybe it was just touchpad locked onto mouse, but dad switched mice and no, still frozen

I tried refreshing the page but noooothing doing

14 minutes later: bad news bears, cntrl + alt + delete, refresh, all buttons not working. power? not working. No manual reset, it will literally require draining of power and THEN dealing with

I came back downstairs to Mom like ":VVV Soooooooooooo I definitely made that worse. I touched it and it froze :VVV"

Meanwhile Mom in her infinite chaos goblin also logged Dad out of gmail on his own phone so he's now

practically unable to log in to anything at all

And I don't know how to tell her "that thing we discussed about boundaries you keep doing this and then hate the outcome...."

Oh no

laptop calmed down, Dad eventually bit the bullet, loaded his hemmoraghing desktop for his password file, it had the wrong password saved, but his password manager had the correct one and I made him update the file, walked him through windows being a pain in the ass and played him the da vinci's code song :V

:V

:V Nak

I was a good boy, i resisted the urge to post the face

oh boy

nak -- I did actually make the face to Mom for the record

don't make me do it

nah don't bother
