We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties

This past Thursday my hard drive decided to self-destruct. After about three hours talking to and trying to understand "Mike" and "John" at a support center I'm sure is located in Bangalore or Bangledesh, we decided the drive was toast and kicked in my warranty so I should be getting a new hard drive in a few days.

I'm surprised how I took the whole thing in stride. Normally, losing use of the computer, several hours of unbacked-up data, downloaded music that I actually paid for, and the prospect of having to reinstall about two dozen programs, would make me blow a small gasket somewhere in my frontal lobe. No, it was rather a Surprise Computer Vacation. I have other things on my mind anyway.

No, it's all relative. When your hard drive crashing strikes you as kind of a minor annoyance, you know you're having a challenging week. So, now that I've broken my rule and blogged at work, I'll be back up as soon as I get my home computer running.

Thank you for you patience in this matter, your call is important to us....
