I HATE 1st APRIL 2010.
Effing bad day.
Been having this suppressed flu in the system for the entire week. The nose is was constantly leaking and there was no way to control the watery flow that made its way down. Sleep has been disrupted as lying down caused some kind of pressure to cause the blockage. I had to sleep in a reclining position of stacked pillows. The invisible drowsiness hovering wasn't a great help in concentration at work. So was the minor blockage in the nasal area that impaired my speech clarity.
Work day has been such a pain. I was looking forward to the end of the day so that I could go unwind and sweat out the suppressed sickness at yoga, but was intercepted by some casting call which turned out to be some ambiguous job which I'm very skeptical and uninterested. But before that .. my worst nightmare came.
I was finishing up work and ready to leave when my lappie jammed on me. Rebooted it as usual only to find a blank screen and my working cursor.
D.I.E.
Windows crashed on me.
What was that supposed to mean ? Some kind of sick April Fool's joke Microsoft/WindowsXP has on it's users? O.M.F.G. You have no idea how disoriented I was. There was no help available at that moment - 7pm, my mobile died on me, there was no WindowsXP disc to be found anywhere in the office (apparently none came with the whole lappie set).
All my work. Years of work. Hard, sweating, labor of my fingers and brain cells.
I kept repeating to myself ..
Composure .. Breathe .. Composure .. Breathe .. Composure !!
Do you see how bad this is? How can something have such massive control over a person. This day and age, we will not function without a computer. While the lappie was in EU, I jez sat around in the office filing all the piled up docs from zonks, and after there wasn't anything I could do. This is so bad. So So So Bad. This is not allowable. But of course there's always a solution like using backup server, watever server you call that .. but doesn't come cheap either.
Oh well .. it's all over now. Lappie's back but somehow it's still groggy. Trauma. Both owner and patient.
Hope everyone did not suffer such ill fate.
For those who did .. I feel you.
