a scary half hour

This morning I wanted to read my e-mails, booted up the computer, saw my regular screen, but then ... I couldn't access any programs. I restarted my computer about 5 times, same effect. I started to freak out, that's the last thing I want happening, with a photo shoot on Sunday, I need this machine to work. It's work, not just fun!!!
I just kept hoping for a magic moment, needed some distraction and made myself a cup of coffee. Back again, nothing happening. I could cry.... But just when I got the technical department on the line the computer started working again. I don't want this happening too often, it was like a freak wind or a freak wave, but don't do this again, please?
My cortisol levels will stay up for a long time today.
And going to work this afternoon won't make things jollier. If it's anything like yesterday. They are putting in the tiles, there's new dust from cutting tiles, horrible noise and the doors need to be open, so it was cold. I'm almost ready to demand compensation. A free day f.i. Or better yet, a free day for every horrible day we have to endure.
All the upsetting stuff makes me forget about eating, so maybe that's the silver lining????

I'm looking forward to tomorrow already.

  1. Oh No! I hope your machine just had a moment and it doesn't happen again! I use mine for work too, so I know how important they are. I have spares from old PC's just in case - plus a netbook - just in case - plus a windows mobile phone - just in case! Parnoid? Me? Nooooo!I really hope that things get better for you.
