Tech catastrophy

So there is a reason my parents didn’t name me Grace.  I am a klutz.  My latest proof of this is when I dropped my laptop and ruined it completely losing not only my computer but the possibility of retaining anything from my hard drive.  Ugh.  That is never a good feeling and I tried to remember what I would be missing.

Luckily I had backed up my photos not too long ago but some of those are lost forever too.  Now each day I am finding new things that I lost in that moment.  A word document here, a favorites list there.  I am sure over the coming weeks there will be many more moments of “Oh that was on my other computer”  and “Oh no, I didn’t back that up either?”.  Life can sure be frustrating at times.

Then to add insult to injury I am having to learn a new pc and windows system.  This is not the easiest thing for me as sometimes I find change to be say…challenging.  I would be really embarrassed if anyone had heard the words I yelled at my computer the first time I sat down with it and tried to just negotiate my way onto Firefox.  But I am learning and each day gets a little easier.  Let’s hope it continues on that way.  I know I have grown from this experience though because this time I purchased insurance. 🙂
