(no subject)

Yesterday was definitely NOT my day.  Last night I pulled my laptop out of its drawer, plugged it in, and booted it up...only to be greeted with a sign telling me that its cooling system wasn't working, shut down immediately and take in for service.  A cautious poke-and-dust at its interior yielded the same thing, so I wasn't able to get online or anything else. 

The thing's over two years old at this point, and is already threatening to break at the hinge.  But I don't have money to fix it right now, let alone get a new one.  *sigh*  I'm hoping that when I try it again tonight it works; if not, I'll set it aside until I can deal with it.  I'm not even sure it's worth fixing, except that without it I have nothing but my work computer. 

The nice thing is that I backed up my files to my iPod hard drive Sunday night.  *grin*  So I'm up to date on that at least.
