crash

it's finally happened. somewhere between friday and monday the notebook’s decided its had enough. i lose three weeks of work (estimated) from the last backup. i lose a couple of half-written pieces i (surely) cannot recreate. i lose my ability to get to where i want and need to google my way around. i blame microsoft and their opaque and unnecessarily arcane windows os. i worry about items lost, i worry about hours lost, i worry about life lost.

i sit at a naked office terminal where people walk past behind me every two minutes. i keep looking over my shoulder, althought all i'm doing is typing out a report. i can’t do any real work on this desktop, nor any other. i can’t put things away neatly. it’s as if I permanently lost my house keys (with no blacksmith nor windows i can smash), can’t get access to my own home and have to borrow clothes, eat out and rent a hotel room.

i need a shower in my own bathroom.
