A True, Country Music Emergency

I knew it was going to happen at some point, but when? All of us in the office has identical laptops and carry them around like a third arm. I had even entertained the idea of getting some sort of holster made for my pants so that I could wear it like a six shooter. So when my laptop fell off a desk yesterday and crashed to the floor (hardwood floor at that), I should've seen it coming. Now, I feel like a lost little girl wandering through the forest. The very nice guys at the Apple store are telling me it is prognosis negative, but I'm going in again to get the final word. Worst part about it is? My life is on that computer. For those of you who spend a good deal of your day at the computer, think of the information that is on it. If they can't recover my drive I've lost over a year's worth of emails, databases, over 3,000 photos, hundreds of dollars worth of music, and other various work related files.

Moral of the story? Back your files up. I kept telling myself I needed to, and never did. Lesson learned the hard way. I feel like I've lost my best friend in the world. She was the smartest kid in school....always had the right answers for me when I needed them and rarely gave me attitude. Never has there been a truer country music emergency.
