Got into work and my computer harddrive failed over the weekend. No warnings, just decided to choke and die! Made me realize how unexpected these things can happen. It was a BRAND NEW computer too, not even two weeks old!

The worst thing about this whole fiasco is that I lost a day of work. Most of my work is backed up on the shared server, however this project I was working on was not defined yet so I didn't have it backed up. At least only a day though, and I have a printout so I can at least reproduce from that.

So I'm back to old faithful, the Little Engine that Could, the Dinosaur- slow and steady computer! Well... at least THIS one has lasted me since 2006. Even though it is slow, I don't have to worry about it eating up work that I won't be able to recover. *crosses fingers*

I'm glad I bought that extended warranty on my home computer now.
