Laptop still down

I haven't been online much as you can see from the time between post. My laptop has been at the geek squad for over a month now. I bought it from best buy. I was having trouble with it shutting down on it's own. I took it in to be worked on. They had to send it off to gateways service center. Gateway sent it back saying it had an after market battery and wouldn't work on it. The battery was a gateway, but the wrong one. Best buy had to replace the battery since they put the wrong one on when I bought it. I stopped last week, they are still waiting for the battery to come in. I doubt I buy anything again from best buy. My last computer from them died after a couple years. Because of this I have loss a job. I was working from home, and need the laptop for the work.
I have been working on chemo hats. I'm trying to use up the yarn I have. The large chucks I have I am making christmas gifts out of. I have also taught myself to knit. I have made 2 chemo hats knitting. I have knitted the peices for a pink elephant for one of my neices for christmas. I'm working on a mouse for the other neice.
I have also been trying to find a job. We are sinking fast, as a lot of people are today. I was going to send out resumes today, but I ran into 2 problems. 1) The library was closed so I counldn't print and copy my updated resume. 2) The mail didn't run today. So I spent the day searching for jobs, working on surveys, and reading forums. I also did some knitting today.
