Hard drive failure is imminent...

Yeah, that's right - imminent. That's exactly what my computer said.

Sweating? Who's sweating?

I'm not sweating, I'm BACKING UP my game. What else would I do at a time like this? Oh good. It's all copied over to the external hard drive... cc and all. I can breath again now.

I called tech. support, and they're sending me everthing I need to package up the hard drive to send it off to be replaced, which is awesome. In the meantime, I was told to back up anything I don't want to lose. I wonder if he could hear my blood turning to ice when he gave me that line.

At least Ripp finds it funny... this icon is going to serve me well during hard times.

Heh, we've all been having computer issues lately. It's like they're all in the same union or something. :P

Crap. I hope mine doesn't give me a list of demands.

I know what will be on the top of the list.

"Better working conditions, including SHORTER hours and a cat hair free working environment."

AIN'T happening.

Oh yeah, mine would be asking for shorter hours too, if not vacation time. Good thing computers can't talk, isn't it?

*now fears these words will anger her computer*

Both of mine will be asking for someone who treats them nicely, and who doesn't think verbal abuse is a good way to get things working. xD

Yeah, I'm with all of you. Working conditions would need to be improved. I can hear the computer pointing out the crappy desk I have it placed on.

Computer: FAKE wood? Please...

Me: That's not my desk, so I have no choice in the matter.

Computer: Also, I need better hours. I work later AND get started early?

Me: It's flextime.

My computer is on a desk that is falling apart. So, I think it would want 'improved work areas' too.

At least you have a desk for your computer. My lappy is always on my bed or my lap. Talk about harsh working conditions. :P

I have a funny feeling mine would echo yours & then add, "Oh &, while you're at it, would you give me a case?!?!"

Mine has to have a case or it would die in a second from cat hair and dust bunnies.

We had 2 long hair & 1 medium hair cats in the house up until the persian died in April. But the 2 ragdoll crosses moult enough that I don't think the PC notices our lack of Cleo. I have to vacuum the fur out =P
