My laptop is dead
Aug. 22nd, 2011 02:44 pmI think so, anyways.
It's been threatening to die for a while now, but it kept limping along, and i thought it was simply being its own melodramatic self (I encourage it by spazzing out every time something weird happens). But yesterday, I closed the lid on it in the middle of reading a pdf ebook, and when I came back and opened it, the screen remained black. The dash was still lit up, but no one, apparently, was home. Repeated hard reboots yielded the same results, and now I'm in panic mode (again).
Of course this happens when I find a job in Winnipeg, that I believe I need to apply for by the 25th (I hope). Since it took me about 10 minutes to navigate to here to vent on my Grandma's old dinosaur, and the bloody thing crashed when I tried to access the company website, I don't think I'll be able to apply on here. Stupid piece of crap dinosaur computer. ARGH!
But, my Uncle has been a saint, and is lending me his laptop. Which he's had for 2 years and has never ever used. While I'm incredibly grateful, I really REALLY hate setting up new (old) laptops. :) Oh well, so long as I can apply for this job by tomorrow.
Luckily, my laptops repeated attempts to die made sure that I backed everything up often, including (especially) my resume files, so that's a bonus, at least. :)
