First my 18-55mm kit lens decided that it doesn't fancy auto focusing any more and that my life would be better if I have to manual focus whenever I want to take a picture. Well it's wrong. Really fucking wrong.
Then my beautiful laptop decides to blue screen, which, I am told, means serious issues on a Windows 7 machine. Every time I turn that fucker on it blue screens saying some drivers are fucked up. Replacing drivers doesn't help. Safe mode with networking - blue screen. Safe mode is relatively stable but I can't transfer anything via network cable that way.
Because I am a complete and utter fucking cockdonkey not everything is backed up to our server. That means a frustrating time will be spent transferring the pictures and writings from poor laptop to an old hard drive connected by USB. That'd be okay if I had 250mb to transfer but I don't it's about 80gb.
Now, I hear you asking me why I don't just take the HDD out and transfer the stuff off it that way. Well, I don't want to void the warranty do I. Laptop is about 10 months old. If getting everything off and wiping it all back doesn't work then I have to take it back to the evil that is Currys and then wait 12 years for them to repair it.
This means that I have two months to get everything off in between blue screens, random restarts, working out and playing Warcraft. And even then I'll have to deal with Currys being wankers - did I ever tell you the story of our two televisions? Another day maybe.
So, I've been relegated to my 5 year old customer built computer who is missing a stick of ram. Even Warcraft struggles. I peer round at Mr. Wilde's computer screen and it's all glistening and beautiful while my game is a mist of grey, low frame rate and random freezing.
It seems that after Christmas - which you'll be surprised to hear that I love - I'll be building a new PC, probably paying to fix a laptop and buying a new kit lens.
Oh and Mr. Wilde is in a mood.
My life is over.

I don't have anything particularly clever, or optimistic to say...other than I read, I follow, I understand, I sympathize and I hope that you get things worked out with a minimum of difficulty. My 250 GB "backup" drive shit the bed months ago and I haven't even let my head try and wrap itself around all that I lost. I haven't played Warcraft since it was Warcraft 2...it consumed about 8 months of my life
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
(A cockdonkey?! LOL! You're killing me)

Think about what you are going to say. Praise and sympathy always welcomed. Trolls are only fun if they are witty.
