I have left the old computer on for too long... and it started burning... yewww... that smell. I switched it of and it switched itself on again...and again. Ok, so I pulled the plug. Hubby came home, very irritated (to put it mildly), he is not in ther mood for computer problems. Pulled it apart and yes...almost everything GONE!
A bit of background.... the hubby and I are both IT consultants and like the dentist with the kids with terrible teeth, our computer is in a terrible state..... OLD.... ANCIENT. Well, we have 4 laptops in the house and a 5th one stays overnight every night. But this one was the MAIN one. To make the problem worse...I am working from home at the moment and have just finished about 10 hours of work which I still had to backup. Arghhhhh.....
So, my darling husband says the C-drive can be salvaged, but I will have to fish every little thing of it one by one. What am I to do? Redo that 10 hours of work? Now here's another problem....... I CAN'T remember exactly what I've done to get this new program to where it is now.... obviously some SERIOUS short term memory problems in my upstairs. I will just HAVE to sit down and go through the maze of finding everything I've done. Will most probably take me 20 hours this time around and I CAN'T CHARGE MY CLIENT FOR IT :-(
So here we are:
- We need to buy a new computer
- We need money to buy a new computer
- We don't have money to buy a new computer
- I need to work to earn money to buy a new computer
- I can't work to earn money to buy a new computer, because there's no computer to work on
I think we're stuffed... I have stepped in that poop!
