Mama Kat’s Pretty Much World Famous Writer’s Workshop is an excellent way to inspire blog posts. One of this week’s prompts was absolutely dead on for me to write about….#4 Write about something that complicates your life. Really? It’s as if Mama Kat read my mind. Oh pooh, this is gonna be easy peasy! Trust me, this is exactly what I need at this point.
At the beginning of the week, I ranted a bit about headaches with Dell Corporation here. As you may remember our desktop hard drive (HD) died unexpectedly on us on August 4th.
The situation at the moment is this, we received our new HD on Tuesday and to my delight, Dell sent Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit operating system (OS) & driver discs to us over-night. It arrived yesterday. DH replaced the HD last night and I began installing the OS, which I completed before going to bed.
At the start of this morning, I wasted no time to boot the desktop to begin installing the necessary drivers. That’s done. Next, re-installed Norton 360 and downloaded all updates. Done. Now, I’m running a full system scan. This will take a little time.
Setting up a new HD on the customer’s end takes a lot of work. It usually is an entire day process of doing nothing more than reinstalling software and checking for updates. Nothing more can complicate your life than computer woes. You can’t live with them and you certainly don’t wanna can’t live without them!
Once this is all done, then we can…hopefully…load our extracted data files. Best Buy is in the process of retrieving these for us, if you clicked on the above link and read my post from Tuesday, then you already knew this. For those who didn’t take time, shame on you! Nah, just pulling your leg. Now, you are up to speed.
We are NOT out of the woods yet, but the old light at the end of the tunnel is glowing a little brighter this morning.
Visit Miss Jenny and the rest of the Alphabe-Thursday classroom for more homework assignments of the letter ‘N’ and while you’re hopping around, be sure to play along with Miss Amanda in her latest edition of Thursday Two Questions.
1. How do you handle life’s complications, head on or run away?
2. When was the last time you felt like you’re not out of the woods yet?
