So, I'm in the process of restoring a fairly catastrophic loss on my computer. Thank god I have a flash memory stick because one of my hard drives completely FRIED.
Literally.
So far, I've had to get a new hard drive, new RAM, a new sound card *grumble*, a new mouse (why I don't know) and I've had to reinstall unimportant little programs like, oh, I don't know-AOL, Java, Adobe, all the anti-virus crap, Wordperfect (are you freaking kidding me?) ad nauseum. It's a colossal mess and my mood reflects that.
Until now.
The kitten, who has been running at top speed since 3 a.m. has finally decided to take a nap. So, she crawled up into my lap and curled into a tiny purring ball, where I thought she might remain content for a while. Naturally, she didn't. After amusing herself for a while by gnawing on my wrists while I typed, she finally decided that of all the places in my office for a kitten to nap, the open lid of the printer was the most favorable. Of course, since one of my plans for the morning is to print out hard copies of some work I have to edit, this nap place didn't meet with my favor. At the moment, however, she's just too adorable to move so I think I'll have to have a cup of coffee and wait until she wakes up.
Besides, I can't put the new print cartridge in. *sigh* I think I'm turning into a softie. Be afraid; be very afraid.
