still going

[snugglekitty]

I am still waiting for the "system restore in case of horrible bad" to finish transferring.



I find that I am getting cranky about this process. Larger and larger parts of me want to say "Screw it!" But after a day it is 27% transferred, and I switched the "sleep" options on the computer so it will stop shutting itself off until it is done.

There is a reason that I no longer have a job that is computer-focused. I had forgotten that staring at computers all day, waiting for them to do their thing, makes me cranky. This brings back bad memories of archiving lab notebook pdfs on offsite servers.

Still. By my calculations, this should mean that the "oh shit!" backup will have finished transferring sometime on Sunday, or perhaps a bit sooner. Then I will do my reinstall (which I actually feel fairly confident about at this point) and hopefully that will give me a more useful desktop.

I think I am also at the point where I should go and fondle some new laptops. I would like to meet them in person, or at least representatives of their species, before I make a final call. But the MSI Wind is still looking good. Perhaps a visit to BestBuy is in order.

Sorry, Trish, I didn't feel up to going this year. I hope you're well, though.

Its ok mrpet told me you weren't feeling that well to deal with the crowds, the possible (well..definite) crowd in the hotel room, and just generally being out. I discussed plans for maybe heading up there to see both of you specifically sometime in the next few months. Maybe on a night he is DJing in Salem (a Salem trip would actually be fun for the two of us, if I can get my sister to watch Dillon for the weekend, or even bring him and get a local babysitter I can trust)

I wasn't feeling unwell, just tired and overwhelmed from my week. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of crowds and public transit on top of that.
It would be cool to see you, though I don't usually go to mrpet's Salem gigs - just a little too far for me.
