Last November I was in a car crash, we were coming home from a Mexican restaurant when I was t boned by a cab. Fortunately everyone was ok. The biggest loss in the accident was my left over burrito that had been sitting on top of the dashboard. When the airbags went off, the burrito hit the dash and exploded. My response- "nooooooo!!! El burrito es morte!"
Because of this, when something stops working in the house, the response is _____ es morte!!!
A few days ago I came home from work and fired up my laptop to send over my finally revised undergrad research application. As I was backing it up to my Dropbox my laptop froze. I restarted and it wouldn't fire back up. Oh no!! I tried for an hour before I packed up and ran to the Apple store to find out if it could be fixed. Sadly, my hard drive died. I had accidentally dropped it the day before and killed it. Es morte! Not only is there a whole ton of research for my thesis in there, but also all of my pictures and a ton of other files that I might not need right away but I will soon. The worst part is the cost. It's going to cost me a ton to get the hard drive restored much less a new computer. Ugh! Thankfully I have the iPad to get me by for awhile. It's a great band aid for the problem but I can't print or download files to a flash drive, I can't upload pictures, and there's no flash player. It's an amazing little piece of technology but it's just not a computer.
Lesson learned. Back up everything to the cloud! Everything! As a matter of fact I am going to reconfigure my iPad now to auto save to iCloud. Right now!!
