Furby Wranglings

Coughing, feeling exhausted all the time, nothing tastes good -- at least I seem to be done with the fever and chills. I don't even feel like READING!!!

And to add insult to injury, the house computer's boot drive went on the fritz. Husband took computer to Step-Son-in-Law.... with One Main Instruction: If possible, save MARY'S PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS....

For some reason, SSiL thought that 'slaving' the old, malfunctioning drive to a brand new drive would suffice, I guess under the theory that it was still sort of functioning, and therefore could be accessed????

DID NOT WORK. I have lost all my pictures and most of my personal documents, including some now nearly impossible to find fan fictions by other people, and almost all of MY fics...

except a few that I had printed-out awhile ago thinking I might share at the Writer's Group last year.

HEAD DESKS!!!!

(owwww)

Why didn't SSiL simply grab a recordable DvD, access my Photos and Docs (I GAVE him my passwords!) and make a copy???? Why? Why? Why? If someone asks you to PLEASE SAVE their data from their about-to-go-belly-up hard drive, wouldn't that be the logical first step?

And it REALLY gets my goat that Husband PAID SSiL.
