I love technology....Until it dies

So, it's been an interesting few weeks for me, in that I didn't have a computer. 2 weeks ago, my computer decided to die. Well, actually, just the hard drive decided to die. Yesterday I got my new hard drive installed and spent the evening re-installing my drivers and Microsoft office and things like that. Loosing my hard drive was kind of like having my house burn down. All my music is gone, all my pictures, everything I wrote in graduate school, all trapped inside a small black box that is sitting on my desk at work. I turned on my computer last night after I got everything installed, and it's just not my computer...it's not my background, it doesn't have my icons, I can't listen to my music, it's just weird. I actually had a hard time sleeping the first few days I didn't have my computer, it was like I lost a very important part of me. I found it amazing how attached I had grown to a piece of equipment. However, since I am an adaptable being, I managed just fine. After a few days, I was able to sleep through the night and I have become accustomed to only using the computer when I am at work. I am sure that in a month or so it'll be like all of this never happened. I will have grown familiar with my new computer and I'll be back to checking my email right before I go to bed and such. But, it was good to know that I could make it without it! Anyways, it is good to be back and be able to check people's blogs and watch the producers' cut of last week's Office.
