My Computer Crashed

Post by Madame » Mon Mar 29, 2010 4:18 am

Two weeks ago. I was lost. After a week it wasn't so bad. Then I kind of liked it. Caught up on other things. Saw a few old friends. Visited the curling club in Seattle and met some new people. Over the weekend got it repaired, upgraded, and screaming fast. Retrieved backed up files, re-installed applications, and opened the floodgates for emails. The computer was supposed to make things easier for me. Now I wonder, I think it's more work. Today I wished it was last week again.

Oh but it can very easily be last week. Just find that sledgehammer.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Apart from my total addiction to The Saul Chronicles I couldn't function as a lawyer and law professor without being both online and doing research. So that's why I have two PCs, three laptops and two netbooks. :)

PC Help Forums can be very useful. I only use a French one but there must be some English language ones.

"Most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives." ~Leo Tolstoy

"It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character." ~Dale Turner

Take a fast or sabbatical. It's sensory overload.
