Catastrophic Disk Error
Filed under General Journal.
As I was working on my entry for today’s self-portrait on 50prime365.com, I spilled a glass of Coke on my desk. A very small splash hit the keyboard and fan vent of my new Dell laptop and now it no longer boots up. I completely took the laptop apart and found a drop of coke on the motherboard, which I wiped up. But still nothing. It cannot find the primary boot disk. The laptop is just over a month old and although I do frequent backups, I have not done one since about Christmas. So if I am unable to getting it working again and/or retreive the files from it, I will have lost much work including client website work as well as original photography. I’m going to contact Dell tomorrow to work through getting it fixed.
I was just saying to people the past few days how I’m getting burned out with computer work and was wondering if maybe God would give me some sort of sign as to what I should do about this. I’m not a very religous person but it makes you wonder…
Please pray for me.

Joe, I just told you on the phone two days ago that you need to get a job with other people. You are too smart to spend your days looking at a computer screen in your apartment. Get out and mix and grab the brass ring (whatever that means). Go Go Joseph, you know that you can!
