Today I got a call from Angus, he is the local IT guy and the news was not good. Apparently my hard drive has crashed. To recover the data it has to sent to a place in Vancouver where they have a "clean room". So I went to pick it up and called Daddy. I want to be sick. I have had a major life lesson BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP. Not just on the computer itself but on an external hard drive. I have quite a few of my pictures on discs and sticks, but there are remainder of them that the only place they exist is on the computer. I was advised by Angus that the starting cost for this "recovery"is $600-$800. UGH, now that is a valuable lesson. So, as soon as I get a call from Daddy Dearest I am driving in. The suspense is killing me.
I am hoping we can figure this out, but if not I am going to be working "round the clock"....... You think I would have realized this lesson when I saw My Maternity and newborn Pictures get "lost" on my photogs computer......
I want to remind you all to remove your pictures frequently (if you don't already) I am glad that I had stared to remove them all and sad at the same time that I never finished.
I hate this sick pukey feeling in my pit that I can not seem to shake. I am short with my kids, I am so frustrated I am taking it out on them for no reason. Till next time
