the universe is telling me something.
the computer in my office at home is in a coma. no, seriously - i know the data is there, the drive is okay, we've managed to turn it on once in 10 tries, but there's something that's making the durned machine not want to turn on or, once it's on, it's all wonky and unhappy about being bothered with the ones and oughts and all that boring computery stuff.
and my normal repair person (hi dad!) just happens to be at his summer home, won't be back in illinois 'til october so.....I guess I'm out of luck until then....
I'm wondering how the hell I'm going to get all the data off that dying desktop.
I'm wondering how long my brother will let me use his machine to check e-mail and do freelance web stuff.
I'm wondering how much it will cost to replace whatever needs to be replaced in my computer. or if I should just bite the bullet, get a third job, and buy a new laptop.
the only thing I'm sure of - the universe is telling me to get out of my office, get out of the house....
if I don't obey, my tivo is probably next....how does one live without tivo?

Sorry to hear about your tech troubles...there's nothing more frustrating to me then a computer that won't work. Dammit, they're *supposed* to work! NOW! *sigh*
Summer in Chicago...you're right, you should be outside. Plenty of time to hibernate in the winter. Of course, you could go outside to walk to an internet cafe, but...I think that fate has other plans for you.
But, if your TiVo goes I'll PVR stuff for you...
