I'm really starting to lose my grip when it comes to my laptop. Nothing has caused me to moodswing so hard since I was crazy ten years ago.

I got it working well enough to backup the files that needed it and yesterday the damn thing worked fine, no problems whatsoever.

Then today I get the blue screen of death, followed by the "no hard drive found" error on start-up. Then it just won't turn on. At all. Lights are on, nobody is home. If my mind was a deadly weapon, the house would have been on fire.

It was my father, the man who does not know how to check his email, that came up with the idea to get it to come on again because the Universe has a really twisted sense of humor.

Now, I'm back to square one (no hard drive found), but at least it's a familiar square.

So while the mood has swung back to functioning without wanting to throw the Tiki Idol threw a wall, I'm still in the "life's not fair and I'm really kinda sick of its bullshit" frame of mind.

Because right now it's the baseline truth of my existence.

Tomorrow, however, might tell a different story. You never know.

I'm so getting my dad on the case, babe!

ETA: Dad says "your system is out of wack, and whatever program you were using overwrote the opperating systems on the hard drive. You probably have to reinstall Windows. He says to take a look at the acessories and see what's installed, and is the hard drive installed in the acessories section?" His words, not mine *chuckles*

I'll ask him for some more advice tonight, babe. *SNUG*

ETA: He says you either have a virus or you blew your power supply. If you have a Staples by you, they have a free diagnostic screening while-you-wait. He says to take it in there :)
