I'll shoot out some unfounded advice: find yourself a niche job, like the "tech guy" for a smaller company or become a programming consultant where you can apply your technical knowledge to other areas of business. Maybe better, go back to school. (I know that's not your Bottle of Bawls.) Finally: sell your house, move back in with your mom, and invent robots to submit for military contracts.

I found Facebook to be a time waster and an overall pointless activity so I got rid of it. No, I just deleted you.

I spent about 2 hours on it (it would have been less if I had known what I was doing). I was hoping I could pop the top and switch it, but it turned out that I had to take every single thing I could off the computer to flip the mother board over and replace it. The housing on the old one was cracked and a piece of it was halfway out of the back. The contacts were shorted, too. After 2 minutes of wiggling and soldering, it was back in action. Bonus: I have 6 extra screws now! Success! I spent about 2 hours on it (it would have been less if I had known what I was doing).
