Pray for my computer.

On Wednesday of last week, my laptop contracted a virus that all but crippled it, nearly wiping out everything I had stored on the machine since last May– thousands of job specific photos, videos, story notes and documents.

I’ve been playing back-and-forth with Staples, which is supposedly repairing the damage and backing up all of my important files on my external hard drive. A 48-hour turnaround and a ‘Satisfaction Guarantee’ has turned into a week of phone calls and messages left for absent “Tech Experts.”

Hopefully this week will be made a little less stressful. I’m supposed to get a call from Staples this morning. We’ll see.

Posts will resume soon!
