No laptop = No work

My laptop screen shattered inside…the LCD panel I think it is. I have a Dell for my work laptop and its not even a year old. Dell tried to argue with Ken and say that it wasn’t covered under the warranty and it was going to cost $350 to fix. Then they said $250. Finally they agreed to cover the cost. I’m telling you take my advice…don’t give into Dell if you have a warranty!

This is my laptop:

My stress level has been really high lately as it is. I haven’t been able to shrug things off as easily as usual. Then this happens and I am just all kinds of freaking out. So much of what I do every day is on my laptop. Our business database. My checking account register. My accounting software for both of our businesses. Ugh. I back up my files pretty regularly, but not often enough. Thank goodness for small miracles because if I wasn’t able to hookup my laptop to my family room TV right now to move everything to our external hard drive I would probably be crying right now.

Yay, it works on my TV!

The box to ship my laptop to Dell won’t be here until Friday most likely so I will probably be able to work tomorrow and for a bit on Friday. Dell told Ken it could take up to 15 business days, but the email I received said it shouldn’t take more than a week.

I am already thinking about the stuff that I could be doing next week. Hopefully it will be sunny out and I can sunbathe. Maybe go get a massage. Read some books on my iPad. Maybe I will work on those videos I’ve been meaning to make. Some scrap booking. Get some liposuction. Trip to the casino. Get a tattoo. Okay…I got carried away there for a bit.

Should be an interesting week next week!
