Okay, so my old pc was screwed. *sigh* nevermind. lol.

But I got a shiny new one!!

And Tobias was born 3 days after Christmas. What an awesome little fella =)

I always said Evelyn was the best baby in the world... But we have a contender

Peace xx

My pc has been in the shop for over a month, for a job which shouldn't really take more than a few hours but the muppets who are supposed to be fixing it are taking their precious time. They take days off and go home early whenever the mood takes them (its alright for some eh) and frankly I'm praying that when they do get round to doing their work that they are actually qualified and capable.

It doesn't help my confidence that I haven't actually met them - Aunty Jean took it and has been dealing with them and I've been hearing all the news through her.

Anyway, I was told last week that they couldn't shift the viruses and there was nothing they could do. I was okay with that - I mean it was pretty messed up, but at least I would get my files back. Right? Nope. Apparently, while it was originally 'we can't fix the pc but we'll get your files', it then became 'we are having trouble recovering your files'... I am really praying that they do get it sorted.

This is the thing - just about every picture I have taken of Evelyn since her birth is on that pc. Of course we have a lot of them in frames around the house but they will never look as good scanned in as the originals. Also, although it looks like a lot of pictures walking around the house, we are talking maybe 20 or 30 at the most - out of thousands on the pc. I was actually going to get many more developed for the photo albums the week that it broke.

When I say 'it broke' - what happened was Evelyn dropped something down the back of the pc and when she bent down to pick it up she knocked the power lead out of the back... I was online and possibly installing updates at the time... Gaaaghh...

Okay, so I'm not the only person who has been taking pictures of her, but frankly everyone I know is a bit of a caveman with a camera... I know some people don't mind an 'organic' look to their family pictures but fraknly I appreciate good photography. Grrr.

Yes, I know I should have sent more pictures to family memebers... lol...

So apart from all my important pics of Evy, there is also the small matter of every other picture I had, and all my music tracks (dear Lord I don't want to think about that), plus quite a few other documents containing lists and information of varying degrees of importance (sentimental value! lol).

Anyway, I haven't finished ranting yet. When Jean first told me that they couldn't shift the viruses, she asked if I wanted the pc back. Well frankly I didn't see that as questionable? I mean - of course I want it back from these monkies who don't give a crap about my possession enough to take a few hours to do their job (I wonder how much they are going to sharge at the end of all this lol). But when I said that yes of course I would want it back, if only for parts (but also to get someone else to have a look at it), they then say they are 'having trouble' with recovering my files. So is it possible, as in suggested but had already occurred to me - that they wanted to keep my pc and have fallen out with me and fucked me over >.<

Fuck I really hope they aren't scumbags.

Anyhoo - I might hear tomorrow night that they have recovered my files, in which case I will pay them any amount they ask and I'll edit this blog to just their name and address and how fantastic they are. Please, nerdy pc people, save my baby! (well, my photos thereof... lol)

Over and out ^^
