Bad luck weekend...

Just a quickie post:

How my weekend turned the badway:

  1. My dad and I were insulating the side of the house, I was left to put up the Tyvek covering alone at night when he had to leave. It was 16F and dark.
  2. I have two papers, a religion and a research paper, due next week friday. My laptop broke with all notes, sources and papers on it.
  3. Was up till 2am trying to fix said laptop. Failed, people tell my my files are corrupted.
  4. I took my laptop in to Best Buy's Geek Squad. They refused to fix it (under warranty) and forced me (charged me, but I had to because of point two above) to pay $100 for a 9gb backup.
  5. I came home to realize I forgot to mention which folder is the first priority to backup. Called back, they wouldn't pick up at first (they did once I called again).
  6. Brother said he could have backed up data by removing the hardrive and attaching it to his computer. Would that have even worked? Him having a PC and me a laptop...
  7. Someone posted two hours after I went to bed to say this problem (laptop not starting up) happened a lot to them and they knew how to fix it and were willing to help over MSN. I noticed the post 10 minutes ago.
  8. It's 10:15pm right now and I'm exhausted.
G'night all!
