Death of a Hard Drive

You may have been wondering why I haven't been updating as frequently over the past two weeks. Due to the unfortunate passing of my old Mac Hard Drive I had to work on my tiny backup computer and wait until my main machine got back from the geniuses at Apple (9 DAYS!!). Luckily, I backed up everything twice but I had to reload all my old programs, art, print drivers, calendar, ipod music, etc.... Took forever! The following seemed relevant.


I sat and watched as my hard drive died just the other day.
She left me on a Friday in the merry month of May.
With no chance to say goodbye there was nothing I could save .
Always back up is what I've learnt from hard drives in the grave.
I sat before a blank screen and thought of what had been.
It's a pity that without it my career would be so dim.
