Sometimes I worry ..

[lihan161051.livejournal.com]

.. when a hard drive is not even visible as a *device* on the bus ..

.. and the machine will only boot to the install disc, and the installer doesn't recognize that there's a drive to install on ..

.. and the person who's calling about this has no backups and critical data was on the drive ..

.. and every time the news gets worse ..

.. she laughs harder.

It's times like those that remind me laughter at the humorous irony of one of Murphy's clearest victories sounds an awful lot like the hysteria that comes before a nasty breakdown. And I wonder if I should look up some local crisis hotline numbers for her. Fortunately they weren't necessary ..

.. on *this* call.

Sometimes I worry.

Sometimes I love my work.

Overheard at work:

I don't care what people say. I trust Dell. My computer was actually on fire - not jsut smouldering but flaming, and it kept its connection to the internet until we powered it off.
