Rambles and Riff Raff about all this and that

Bad Luck Is

Published by Esteban Glas on January 3rd, 2008 | This post lacks all category except for: personal
  • To get hit in the eye by a Squash Ball.
  • To get your system rendered unusable by an unknown (out of nowhere) Virus.
  • To almost break a finger with a door.
  • To almost get robbed when getting off the train.
  • To lose your cell phone.

All of it happening in less than 24 hours. It has been a long, awful day. I hope it does not reflect what 2008 will be like, or I’ll have one horrid year.

It’s more reassuring to think that I have condensed 1 year worth of bad luck in a single day.

Tomorrow I depart towards Bariloche for a week, thus trying to recover the system is out of the question, it’ll have to happen when I return. For the time being I’ll just backup a couple of files into a 512MB USB drive (thanks to Rescue and Recovery, I tell you I love the guys who created that tool) and survive with my T60p (personal) and the Linux TP.

If I weren’t so tied up with work I swear I’d take next week off. I’m grumpy and frustrated. Guess having a weekend off and a 19-hour bus trip shall suffice to reset my mood.

    Esteban,

    That's a story you'll have to tell about.

    Things happen here, but we take our relative safety for granted...
  • Yeah... well, I got away unscratched, that's what matters :)

    Damn man, I'm sorry to hear that.

    Almost robbed??

    I hope you're okay down there. Remember to take some time for yourself amid the madness!
