I can't live without you...

I kind of felt lost today in the office because I missed my laptop. My laptop is in the repair center since last Thursday. I felt like I lost someone very close to me. Well, my laptop has most of my things. 


It was taken to repair center on Thursday, and I expected the tech support guy to resolve it latest by today. But I was disappointed when I didn’t receive any calls from them.  Since I desperately wanted my laptop back, I gave them a call. What a disappointment. They still didn't know how to decrypt my data. Arghhhhh.....

Luckily I have CL laptop with me. Otherwise, I will be twiddling my thumb, and that will definitely get someone upset.  I’m supposed to return CL’s laptop, but I hold it back because I need to copy some of his files into my laptop. Maybe, these data didn't want to live together, that's why my hard disk decided to go on strike. 

Even though I do have a temporary laptop, I find it is difficult to do my work because all my working files are in my laptop especially my mail. I have to use web mail instead of MS Office, and I can't archive my mail using web mail. My mail box is going to explode anytime and when that happens, my mail will be very quiet. Furthermore, I have thirteen years of archived mails  in that baby. That's a lot of mails in there.

Before I left for home, the tech support guy called me, and said he might need to bring in someone from outside to look into the problem. That’s going to cost some money. Will I pay for it?  Nope. Not from own pocket, but maybe I need to persuade my boss.

I really hope he agrees to pay, else I have to say goodbye to all my work, and I might end up crying. So baby, don't make me sad. Please make sure the data can be recovered. 

Not only I'm going to lose all my work related data, I am also going to lose my iphone backup, my songs collection, my ebooks and the most precious thing in there, my wip manuscripts will be gone. I don’t think I have the energy to start all over again.

I'm sad....

I am sad and very hurt today. I was okay in the morning. In fact, I was very happy this morning when my hubby gave me a package which he took from the mail box. I knew the package was from my friend in Canada. I also had a nice chat with my new boss, Mr. G. We talked about work and his home country. Such a nice gentleman. Polite and soft spoken.

After he had left for the other office, I began my mission in searching for the right song for us to sing this Friday. I listed four songs to be chosen by them. The first song was Umbrella by Rihanna and followed by Memories by Barbara Straisend. Both were not accepted as they find it difficult to sing.

The third song in my list was I’ll be missing you by Puff Daddy. They liked the song, nice and easy to sing, but we can’t find someone who can rap. Our Mr. Rapper has resigned. 

The last song in the list was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It was very well received, and they loved it, but somehow after we listened for a few times, it was not an easy song to sing it in a group.

Finally after cracking my head, I remembered one of my favorite song, Under the Broadwalk by Bruce Willis, which I would sing along whenever it is played on the radio. Yeay! Finally, it was accepted.

I also had a great time during my lunch break. I went out with friends, and we discussed our plan. It was a great discussion, but not the food. We have great ideas and plan what we wanted to do.

While I was doing my work, I saw a message coming to my Facebook. That’s the beginning of my bad day. It was so offensive, and I found it very abusive. I didn’t finish reading it. I seldom lost my temper and get angry, but this afternoon, I was really mad. I replied a short message, and for someone who never used the F-Word before, I used it this time.

From that moment, my day was spoilt. Eventhough, I tried to be jovial, but I can’t. I was so sad with what happened; it brought tears to my eye. At least I managed to talk to someone who helped me to improve my mood.

And tonight, while I was working on my office laptop, it crashed. It just frozen, and when I rebooted, it cannot find the booting disk. I knew I was attacked by a virus. And this afternoon, a spammer hijacked my Facebook causing my account to spam others. Luckily someone alerted me, and I changed my password immediately.

It was really a bad day for me. I hope tomorrow will be a better day, and my technical support team can fix my laptop. Otherwise, I will be crying tomorrow as I do not do any backup to my data.
