I REALLY HATE COMPUTERS.

So, my DVD drive hasn't worked in ages, since they had to send me a new thingy that I've forgotten the name of. Which meant that I couldn't use it (the DVD drive) for back-up, like I'd been doing before. Because of that, and because I was running out of room on my hard drive, I bought an external hard drive. Great, fine, I backed everything up, everything was good.

Now I decide that I really need to get the DVD drive fixed, so in preparation for taking the laptop in, I go to back everything up on the external, and...it doesn't register on my computer at all. It's not the USB port, because other thing work there, so maybe it's the cord? I don't know. All I know is that I was berating myself for putting things off (like getting the DVD drive fixed) and now I know why - because something goes wrong every time I try to do anything around electronics. So frustrating!

Argh.

I'm going to bed.

Did you have any luck with this? I hope it's working again now!

Yes, in fact, I managed to copy everything on Monday night, and took the computer in for repair last night. The answer, apparently, was just that occasionally I am an idiot, and I shouldn't play with technology when I am tired. :D

Heh, I think we all have that problem!

Eeep to not having your computer, though. I hope it'll be back soon...
