Lost: One Hard Drive

On Monday, the hard drive on my work laptop crapped out on me. This was after swearing up and down the weekend before that I would back up my files since it had been so long.

It's funny how attached we are to technology. I have a loaner laptop that I have been using but it doesn't have the software I need to continue to work while my other laptop is in the shop. I'm in my cube trying to find things to do that don't involve going online, when I realize that everything on my to do list requires my laptop. People were able to make a living before computers weren't they?
