Technology hates me
Remember when technology hated me?
First, my watch battery died… still haven’t replaced it.
Second, I couldn’t get a cell phone that worked. I took my Verizon cell phone with a broken speakerphone to be fixed and they replaced it with a phone that would drop every single call it made. I had to go back like three more times to finally get them to give me a brand new phone that actually worked. I was not happy with Verizon, but I’m glad to have a working phone finally.
Third, my Powerbook’s hard drive died. I took a trip down to the Apple Store a few days before it actually died (while it was still on the fritz and making strange knocking and clicking noises) to consult the local Mac Genius. He told me that my hard drive was definately about to die. So thankfully I have a backup hard drive that I backup everything too, it wasn’t a big deal. I ordered a new hard drive and when it gets here, I will swap it with the dead one. For now, I am booting from my external HD with all the backed-up data.
I was glad that it was just the hard drive (and that I have a backup!) since hard drives are relatively cheap and easy to replace (even though it wasn’t free since my warranty expired after 1 year) (note: the new HD has a 3-year warranty… yay)
I am waiting on my new HD to arrive any day now so I can be up and running again! Maybe technology hates me, but it got dominated by my mad skills this time!
(I was scared to touch my digital camera, for fear that it too would stop working, but it is fine thankfully!)
