school, computer woes, and a tribble

Sep 15, 2010 21:57

School started three weeks ago, and it's been every bit as hectic as I thought it would be. I'd hoped I wouldn't have to work full time this year, but I was wrong. A teacher resigned without warning, the principal asked me if I could substitute for him, and of course I found myself unable to turn him down...

There is nothing worse than having your pc die BEFORE you get round to saving everything. I've been complacent too many times. And when I did back up I managed to back up a virus onto my external HDD so every time I plugged it into a new PC... Took me two PC's to figure out what was causing it.
I've lost everything I previously backed up.

BUT... I adore your somewhat revised and salvaged fic. I could picture them both so perfectly. I love those boys and hot sweaty boys really push my buttons. I loved the back seat setting and the whole failed romance theme. :)

Ouch!:( That's just awful! Not to mention expensive... Even if computers are now cheaper that they used to be, they aren't exactly free either.

I'm glad to hear you liked the ficlet. I'm quite fond of hot sweaty boys myself.:)

Good luck with your old computer! I knew mine wouldn't last forever, but I've been complacent about it, not to mention prone to procrastination, as always.

Thank you very much for your kind words about the tribble! I'm quite fond of car sex myself, too (at least in fiction; I found it a little disappointing in RL... but maybe it was because my husband had a tiny car, it was the middle of winter and the heater had broken down. Talk about romantic!:))

Thanks for the hugs!:)

I was a little upset, I admit. I'm a slow writer, and it took me ages to write these 3000 words.

Thank you! One can't do wrong with hot sweaty boys in a car, IMHO.:)

How frustrating about your computer! And even worse to loose so much work. But at least you were able to salvage a tribble from your C/Z story. *hugs*

Love, the tribble. Nothing like hot sex in the back of a hot car to make a guy forget about romance.

Well, it could have been worse; I couldn't even begin to imagine the state I would be in if the computer had died a month ago! I didn't have a single thing backed up then...:)

I couldn't agree more.:) Many thanks for reading and commenting!
