I'm an idiot because despite having gone through a complete computer crash several years ago and enduring the pain of losing all of my data, I still did not have current back-ups of my work. I've written major feature articles, columns, doodles and notes and there was a good chance that all of it was gone. Photos, documents, my financial files - everything was at risk. That was the reality I went to bed with last night. I made peace with it, came up with a couple of "plan b's" and drifted off.
Today, I hired a Geek. Not the Geeks you hear of most often - no, those Geeks weren't able to come for a full week! I called 24 Hour Geeks and I had a Geek at my door after my nap today. He found the problem in minutes, cleaned up a few things, suggested a few minor changes, told me my computer was sound and running well and for a reasonable one hour fee I was back up and running and he was on his way.
I spell relief G-E-E-K!
