Right now, there’s a woman from tech support next door trying to repair my boss’s computer, which went all wonky sometime over the holiday weekend. I’m bouncing back and forth between offices, really unable to do anything or offer any assistance, and so I feel a little awkward just standing there waiting for something to happen. I’m also more than a little worried we might lose the contents of the computer’s hard drive, since my boss doesn’t have backup copies for most of his files. I’ve already had enough reformatting for one year, thank you very much. It’s ironic, actually: less than a week from now, he had planned to replace his computer with a newer, faster system which would back up the drive to tape every week and make problems like this more or less meaningless.
