Gooooood Computer!
OK, let’s run down my week so far:
1. Wife left me and took Niall (my fault)
2. Got dropped from the interview process of the job for which I was applying (my fault, essentially)
3. Worker’s Comp claim was denied, so I will have to sue the WC insurance company (not my fault)
4. Ditzy HMO doctor whom I saw twice while out of work due to work-related injury claims I never told her I was off work, and refuses to sign my disability slip (fuckin’ not my fault)
5. Paid over $100 (that I didn’t have until friends opened their wallets) to file my taxes (my choice)
6. Ran out of meds (that said ditzy doctor forgot to refill) and for which I don’t have insurance anyway (not my fuckin’ fault)
So, today:
7. Computer crashes (shit happens)
You’d think with my whole professional and educational life spent living at the whims of computer hardware, I would have a top-of-the-line backup system in place. You’d be wrong.
I fixed it. The computer, and recovered the data. It took some effort, but I did it. I’m doing a full backup tonight.
Next step would pretty much have to be “blindness”, right? I’d say “death”, but that’s not always seeming like such a bad alternative this week.

This belongs here, too:
8. Trying to make a little bit of money online, and accidentally scheduling all my items to end during a boycott of eBay!
