flash aint dancin

Each time I did it, I told myself I shouldn’t. I knew that someone could pull it out, bump into it by accident, that I could hit it up against something unknowingly. All these unfortunate accidents because of my choice to comfortably leave my flash drive in my computer while traveling could potentially break the motherboards back.

That’s exactly what happened today. Only, I wasn’t carrying my laptop on the subway with the red BW button in view. Nor was I on my way to or from the coffeehouse in a rish to get to the next place. Instead I packed my bag in the house on prep to later leave to go to the coffee shop and then took it out on a whim while on the phone just to see if I could get online again after previous unsuccessful attempts.

As I sat my laptop on my lap I saw something that looked liked a usb in my port but the cover wasn’t there. “Oh no” I said. What happen to my drive. Before I officially went into uber-panic mode I try to retrieve a file that I was working on. I was unable and felt the fear of the worst overtake me.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been on an emotional brink of oh my god how could this happen-this is happening – if only I followed my intuition- line of thinking. I know I’m no tech-guru-gadget-smadget let alone motherboard repairer. But I could see a little cicruitry board inside and knew that was not good.

I phoned a friend, yea was trying to use the nearest tech lifeline I had. Everything that is now, that i$ working on is there. Good thing the most major in progress work I have a print out of. Whew. But there are ideas and files there that I need. Kinda’ like what I had stored on my bberry before I had to get the master reset. Which reminds I need to back up my bberry too. Aww man I just remembered that one of new blog idea is there too. Snap!

So, see a friend is suppose to meet me on Monday for help. Thank Goodness. I cant’ stand it if my flash stays dark. So,  for now info on the new flash will get  backed up. I want to push it in and see its lights dancin’ dancin’ like a….you know.
