How do you spell a scream of aggravation, frustration, gratitude (I think) and most other -tions you can come up with?
My hard drive died last night. And while I’m very happy that I lost almost nothing (I think, please God) I have spent most of the last twenty-four hours trying to get back where I was. And failing. I’ve lost all my bookmarks. I can’t tell what writing I’ve lost, one of my back-up disks is pretending there’s nothing on it, and I’m not sure how to get it to stop messing with me. I seem to have all the names of all my files, but they’re gathered from at least four back-ups, God only knows what’s gone forever and can I scream again now?
The good news is, I have a new, faster hard drive, I have a lot less of the commercial clutter than before, I bought myself a flash drive (512 MB, on sale for $30!!!) and I haven’t and didn’t kill anyone. And I’m back online.
The bad news? I really don’t know yet. I think I’m avoiding it.
I know I’m avoiding it. Gotta be brave…
