Re: Hate Thread
Late to the party, due to computer stupidness, but condolences, MF. Sucks the big one and *hugs*
My hate, since there's really no other place to put this, is stupid little things that ruin huge things. Sitting in my chair on break from work and I apparently didn't realize how close I was to my tower. I spin real quick to get up and go back to work and I hear a "cricht" sort of noise and the "buh-bong" of my USB drive being disconnected from the computer. Slew of curses later, I find the bit that connects it to the computer bent at a horrible angle. The computer won't recognize it and I can't wedge it back into the casing.
All my files and backup are now sitting in limbo until I get ahold of a couple of places here in town in the hopes that they can pull the information off of it for me. And the kicker of it is, that's always been one of my big fears, because I see how fragile the damn things are. I just wanted to cry for like, two hours afterward. Thankfully, had third Christmas with my galfriend and we got and gave each other nifty stuff, so I feel better, but now it's sort of looming again. Wish me luck.
