Ya know the Mac....the one I have tried to love? Well, he got me through the whole "FOOTBALL DVD" mess over the past few weeks, so I was beginning to warm up to him...I even put a personal picture on the desktop (a way of saying, "we're friends"). I had almost completed the DVD so I took it over to my mother's for dinner last night, not wanting to waste a minute so I could make it perfect. I figure I had worked over 45 hours, took 6000+ pictures, edited them added music (most of which I paid for on itunes BTW). I decided I didn't need the case and as I was carrying it from the car into the house I tripped and fell, spraining my ankle and Mac flew 5 feet in the air and bounced down the concrete driveway.
Know that you have all recovered....
I hobbled inside and powered it up and poof! (remember how Dell said the same thing when he gave up the ghost?) The LCD was trashed and it squealed and growled and huffed and puffed until it all went dark.
Gone.
Gone, were the football pictures.
Gone was the DVD.
Gone was the project at work I had labored over for weeks.
Gone. Gone. Gone.
I should have taken a real picture of me sobbing... Lippy heard me on the phone (and made me pumpkin bread early this morning to cheer me up. I love her), the boys were scared as they have never seen me howl (not exaggerating). I would have had no way of downloading the picture though so here is a fairly close rendition. I even had the blanket over my head and Maggie kept trying to dig me out and lick my tears, I love her too.
I am now (again) seeking donations for a replacement as it was the school's computer and I have agreed to buy them a new one.
Do you think Santa will bring me one if I sit on his lap?
33 crazy comments. I'm still waiting for yours!:
Oh, no! Have a cookie on me.
ooooooooh. man. that. hurts.
awww chiefy.
still hurtin for ya
i'll write! i swear!
Holy crap, Chief! I am screaming for you....
Noooooooooooooo.......
That is just too terrible for words!
You shouldn't have to buy the school a new one. They should have insurance on their computers. Stuff like this happens. I mean look at my dumb ass leaving my lap top in the car and then ...gone! Seriously though, that is a really sad day. I'm so sorry!
That seriously sucks. Adding insult to injury! Maybe your homeowner's insurance would cover it?
Terribly sorry for you!!
ohhh, thats sucky! I'm so sorry! You should try calling a computer store or if you have an apple store by you they may be able to recover the football pics, it's a long shot but you never know.
I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open in shock for you.
I had my own computer freak-out this morning. I came upstairs to find that my 18 mo old was standing in my chair, over Hubs' laptop, chugging my dr. pepper...and the dr. pepper was going all over the keyboard.
Thankfully, it seems to be okay, but I can feel your pain.
don't know what you got til it's gone! just kidding. that is the saddest thing i have heard all day - and it's a monday.
Oh man, that sucks! Is your ankle okay? I bet they could recover something off of there at the apple store or another mac store so you at least don't lose the football stuff! I am so sorry!
No! I'm so sorry! I'd probly stop functioning altogether if I lost as much work as you did.
That. Sucks. I'm so sorry for your ankle too! Gah, all around suckness. Sorry I haven't been around as I should have been, traveling and all that. But I'm getting caught up and delighted to know that my need for information about your bodily smells has not gone unwritten! Merci!!
OH NO! I am so sorry.
Sitting on Santa's lap can't hurt can it? Anything could help at his point. Stupid sidewalk! It jumped up and but you and made you trip! You sprained you ankle for reals? That bites.Hope you are feeling better soon!
OMG! You seem to have the same computer luck I do...its just hell isnt it, when they die.....Im so sorry for your loss:)
Oh no!!!! Macs are NOT cheap!!!! I am dying inside for you. I know how much time it takes to go through that many pics and put a dvd together!!! This won't help with the dvd, but you can buy a program that will recover your deleted pics (yes, even those naked ones you took that one weekend the kids were away) off your memory card. My dad did that when his computer crashed. I feel awful for you, truly. I wish there was something I could do. (Other than sending liquor.)
2 words for you. Holy crap.
Check to see if your homeowners insurance covers that for you.
Bummer my friend.
Oh, sweetie, that's the pits! Damn mac!
I am so sorry that totally sucks ass!
Oh wow! That sucks! I would definitly double check if the school had insurance on it or something. And all the work you did! Again, it sucks!
At least it's the holidays and everything is on sale. I'll talk to the fat man when I take the kids to see him tomorrow.
How's your ankle?
Crapola oh man that totally sucks.... ditto this last post.. the school should have insurance check that out first dang it man!
I feel bad for ya
Seriously, I cried for you. Chief,this sounds like something that would happen to me. I'm so sad for you. I'm sure Santa is one of your followers and will give you whatever you want. Man, of all the things to happen.
Man, I'm sorry. That's terrible.
That is terrible! Seriously, the worst thing I've heard all day. I'm in shock. I think you're going to have to move around a little on Santa's lap to get a Mac. (KWIM?)
oh no! I'm so sorry. Santa might give you one though, IF you sit on his lap.
That's terrible. I am so sorry to hear it. Maybe you can ring up the MAC kid from the commercial (I think his name is Justin Long) and offer him some sexy time for a new Mac. I bet he has a garage full of them for just such an occasion.
Well, although I can't help in the donation deptartment, I hope the pumpkin bread helped. Nothing a good loaf of pumpkin bread can't soothe...
Lippy
Oh man Oh man! I'm dying with you...that would totally happen to me....
If Santa brings me one I'll send it to you (don't hold your breath though because I'm not....)
oh, chief! that bites!
I think my heart actually stopped beating for a moment there. I don't think I could handle two tragedies like this in such a short time. You're a better man than me.
NO AHAHHAHAHHHHHHHHHH
I'm going to be sick about this for weeks.
Awwww! Poor Mac - and poor you!
Take the Mac to your local Apple store and have one of the 'Genius's look at it. They might be able to save the hard drive and all of your precious work. If you don't have an Apple store near you, I have a fantastic mac guy here in Dallas who can probably help.
