2004.09.08 as he teetered on the edge:
after a really nice weekend in columbus, i come home to my computer deciding that it doesn't want to work anymore.
actually…that's not entirely accurate. the computer itself seems to be working. it's the new 80gig western digital hard drive that seems to be failing in a most grandiose way. the best part about it? i had just deleted all the stuff from the other hard drive that i had moved to the new one. i figured "it seems to be working fine, i guess i don't need these incredibly useful backup copies of all of this important data of mine…"
which is to say, in layman's terms, that i'm a fucking moron.
i have someone that has volunteered to try to retrieve and back up the data on the drive for me, before i send that fucker to the big computer junkyard in the sky. well…more accurately, back to western digital for a warranty replacement.
let me tell you…i actually picked my computer up off the floor last night and almost threw it out the fucking window. i was, in the parlance of today's youth, pretty fucking pissed.
but now i'm at work, under the calming influence of assholes who can't get their email…hrm.
but i did have a wonderful weekend in columbus, despite my allergy attack / sinus infection. it's always good to spend some quality time with the lady.
tonight i plan on spending some quality time kicking the shit out of my computer.
