MoFo' ing Computer

Just to let you all know the hard drive on my PC has gone tits up!! As I need my computer for my work THIS IS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE!! Luckily I am pretty anal in backing my stuff up, so apart from something I'm working on at the moment I have hard copies of all my work. Mr treehugger is a computer engineer so he will be working on it today and tomorrow. I, in the meantime, am using his computer but I don't know for how long as he needs his own machine too. Ah well......such is life. I think the Lords of Cyber Space are telling me I spend too much time sat in front of a monitor and that I should go out and do something else instead! Who am I to argue. I do have some bits and bobs to do, like getting my costume sorted for Friday!! And I have to box up and wrap a package swap for someone and also post a few other bits and bobs - so I've plenty of things to do to keep me out of mischief. Ha ha! So in the words of Arnie "I'll be back"

My hard drive went ka-plooey months ago. The boy said he'd try to fix it, but I've just been using his old, heavy, crappy laptop instead.

I didn't have anything particularly important on my computer, but it really sucks to not be able to play the last Sims 2 expansion... I don't plan to get another PC. (A Mac in time for Sims 3, hopefully...)

Bummer! I'd be lost without my 'puter. Hope Mr treehugger can get it up and running soon.

I will be awaiting your return!! :)

Oh no. That is the worst feeling. My computer died unexpectedly in college and it was a horrible feeling to lose everything. Amazing how much we store on these devices. Hope it comes back to life soon. While you definitely deserve a day off I will miss your posts.

What a nightmare! Thank goodness for Mr. Treehugger's skills. :) Swaps sound like so much fun; can't wait to see what you're giving to the lucky recipient!

Too bad we are an ocean apart. I have a computer; you have internet. Grrr...

Why must things like this happen when we have important MoFo things to do???

Jen Treehugger said...

Oh Lisa - that made me chuckle. It's so true. But I also have Mr treehugger's PC (YAY! for two computer households)so it's not as bad as it could be.
The good news is that I've spent the whole afternoon cooking!
YAY!

Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear it! It seems to happen to me quite a lot and unfortunately I am terrible at backing up. So at least you have that going for you!

Stupid computers! At least you had everything backed up, I guess. Hope you get it fixed soon!
