Technology Bug

I'm annoyed.

I told myself when I started this blog I was going to keep it positive; and normally I'm a pretty understanding person, but right now, not even the falls of the contestants on Wipeout can turn this frown upside down. (And there's not many things funnier to me than someone being catapulted into water and face-planting.)

My laptop broke last week. Not a major disaster, as I had a new one on the way, but I DID need the files off my hard drive. This matter was a bit urgent, as some of those files were (are) needed for a huge project I have to submit to National CASA by Monday. No on-time submission means no grant money.

I drove 30 minutes to the computer tech office today, very happy to have been told the hard drive was recovered and fit nicely on two disks....

I just sat down to retrieve the last files I need to finish this project, and both the disks are empty. EMPTY.

So now I'm going to turn off my computer, find something chocolate and pout. And you can imagine for yourselves how much it helped when my husband asked me if I put the disk in upside down.
