Stupid Technology

My work computer died.

It's not nearly as tragic as Rebecca Marie's computer meltdown, but it's still an enormous pain in the patoot. Especially since this is one of those rare times when I'm actually busy at work. I lost all of my pictures and several personal documents--some of them might be retrieveable, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I've already restored most of my Internet Favorites list (most important things first, you know), but I really miss the gorgeous pictures of Europe that I'd collected for my screen saver. I also miss all the settings that I'd perfected on my last computer. When I first signed on to the new PC, I got a message saying "Retrieving Your Settings." LIAR! Stupid thing didn't retrieve Jack--unless keeping English as the default language counts.

You don't know what you've got till it's gone, I guess.

I'll still try to post, but the next month or so is going to be super-busy at work, so my chances for reading and commenting on your lovely and entertaining blogs are going to be few and far between. Try your best to go on without me.

  • It seems that bad computer karma is making the rounds right now, so backing up looks like a spectacular idea.

  • We have most of our pictures of the Meatball on our copmputer instead of hard copy (that is what happens when he is one and you already have about 1500 pictures). SO every so often Ryan puts them on a dvd and we keep them in out fire box...along with such important items as, our social sucurity cards, pass ports and subway coupon/stamps.
    Seriously though, something on ones computer are so precious, it's kind of scary.

  • Jess: I hate to break it to you but....Subway no longer accepts those stamps.

  • I know that, you know that, even my hubby really knows that. He put them there and there they will remain until they are worth millions as antiques. Ask Ryan I have nothing to do with it except enjoying the humor attached.

  • Jess, that's a great idea re: pictures. I should totally do that. But I think I'll take my chances with the Subway stamps.

    Arwen, I'm going to be lucky to visit 2-3 times a week--I hope you don't feel unpopular when your hit count stagnates. Blame H&H.
