WOE!
My computer is dead.
I'm writing this from the Student Center.
Here's what happened. I took my computer to tech support yesterday. BIG MISTAKE! Here is the -list- of things that they did to further mess up my computer.
1. They deleted the contents of my temp folder. You NEED some of those files for programs to run properly!You also need some of those files to -delete- programs. This is agitating.
2. They shut down -all- the programs that were starting at startup. This would be ok, if they hadn't turned off my antivirus software. X_X
Really those are the only two things they did to fuck it up further, but really, that is enough, I think. The only positive thing they did is that my computer is running faster now. However, whatever was eating my harddrive space is STILL eating my harddrive space. I swear, I burst into tears last night. I was not happy.
So, what am I going to do? I'm going to drive to... somewhere (the rendezvous has yet to be determined) and meet my father after Senior Sem this afternoon. He is going to give my computer to the resident computer guru at his office, and -hopefully- the man will be able to fix it by Sunday. As for me? I am going home this weekend. That wasn't originally my plan for the weekend, but I'm going to go home for the weekend in -hopes- that I will get my computer back by Sunday.
So, how far back does this set me in terms of life?
Well, driving to parts unknown definitely wasn't on the agenda. Nor was going home for the weekend. Plus, this delays my thesis work for at least a few days, since I can't really turn my computer -on- for fear it will eat my harddrive space. (Of course, I also can't do thesis work without any research and right now half of the research I need hasn't come in yet. X_X) The only positive thing about this whole damned experience is that I will be able to get real food for the weekend. And that's damn little consolation.
I don't have time for my computer to be dying. I don't have the time or money to get a new computer. Thankfully, the resident computer guru my dad knows says he's dealt with things like this before, so he can probably fix it. I hope he can. If not, I don't know what I will do.
Aside from -that- big mess, today hasn't been too bad. I still need to call my dad, which I'll more than likely do after Psych Testing and arrange where and when I'm going to meet him. And you know what? I'll probably miss dinner because of this, since I have to drive to parts unknown and back and the earliest I'll be setting out is like 4:30.
So basically, no, I'm not dead. I'm just going to be incommunicado until Friday.
