As Chris so helpfully pointed out (or was he cursing me?), trouble comes in threes. If so, I can now breathe easier because this afternoon as I prepared to resume job hunting I discovered my laptop will no longer power up its hard drive. Its not that the hard drive is broken – its just that my Thinkpad isn’t powering the drive at all.
I think its an internal power supply problem rather than the drive itself, which is good news and bad news. The good news is that I don’t have to fear losing any of my data. The bad news is that there wasn’t valuable data on it anyway and I can change a hard drive in my sleep, its so easy. Vague power supply problems, not so much.
I am so buying a lottery ticket tomorrow.
Forget the lottery ticket … send your resume to the local Raleigh staff of Kay Hagen … you were born to be on the staff of a U.S. Senator!!! … she’ll have a local office … it’s not like you have to relocate to D.C.!!!
