the phone woke me up this morning. of course i didnt hear the ringing in time to reach it but still it woke me.
so i stumbled over n set up the coffee machine
then i stumbled over to my computer. move mouse. notice no cursur movement. move nipple pointer mouse thing and the screen goes BLACK. this happens sometimes so i reboot. annoying but ok. toshiba logo comes on screen and i start to hear a clicking noise. it’s a noise i’ve never heard the laptop make before. notice the computer seems to be frozen on the logo screen.
take a deep breath and reboot. repeat the noise and frozen thing. press f2 for booting options. tell it hard drive and have it repeat back to me ‘choose a selection and press any key’ (or whatever the fuck it said). try hard drive and get same error. try default setup and get same error. try each of the 5 options and get an error.
realise i must not have tightened the coffee thing and so there’s grounds all over the counter and in my coffee pot. clean it, throw it all away and start over.
go back to computer. repeat the above. try not to freak out. try not to think about the last time i backed up (um… months ago). try not to think of lost work. try not to think of dead computer.
i’ve been thinking of getting a new one for months but i’ve stopped myself b/c i shouldnt be spending the money. this wasnt funny though. so i guess my pricing and reviewing and looking at least paid off… i came home with a new laptop tonite. it’s an
at least the dollar is at like 69cents today…
