“Some one has a case of the Mondays”

Jake9/18/2006

This has not been the best Monday i’ve had. This weekend start with my laptop hard drive dying. No problem, it happens. I pull a drive that I had in another machine, come to find out it has bad sectors as well. Ok..So i’ll wait until I get to work to put a new drive in.

I get to work this morning and move the mouse on my desktop machine to wake it up. Nothing. I hit a key and the computer is waiting for me to put in my root password to run a manual filesystem check. Not good…So I put in my password and try and let the filesystem check do it’s thing. I go to reboot and get the message “There are no linux partitions on this drive”. Great!!!! So now I have no desktop machine or laptop. And to make things better my desktop wasn’t backed up. Aaaaaand this is the machine I use for building rpm’s and doing basic development work. So basically 7 months of work is gone. It’s my own fault for not backing up. I just kept putting it off and putting it off.

So my day was spent rebuilding my laptop and desktop. I did have a backup of my laptop at work current as of Friday. And at home I had run a backup Saturday. So all in all my laptop will be ok..But my desktop is completely lost.

Can I have a do-over??

Giving me a hard time??

For all those people who have called and gotten mad at me for their lack of planning this is for you:

Lack of planning on your part does not constitue an emergency on mine.
