Computers don't save work, they just move it around

I had a hard drive crash at work about a month ago. Just about the time I achieved equilibriium and figured out what-all was missing, it came time for a long-dreaded massive switchover which is nearly as tedious to explain as it is to experience, but the result of which is that all of my team have to reset our laptops back to factory condition and then start over again.

This was probably a bad time to decide to start using a schmancy ergonomic split keyboard, wasn't it?

And still waiting for me is the new personal laptop that I bought months ago to replace the old Mac I'm using right now, which is too old to accept system software updates.

Anyone could have predicted the computer; to predict an hour on hold waiting for the help desk, you needed science fiction.
