My Computer Sucks.

February 18, 2014 By C. Lee McKenzie 40 Comments

DEAD

This morning my computer decided it was going on strike so I couldn’t blog. By the time I could switch over to my laptop life got in the way with a few emergencies.

Of course, today was the day the wonderful M.J. Joachim hosted me on her blog, Writing Tips, and I really wanted people to stop by and say hello to her.

While I’ve tried to give you the link to the post, my laptop doesn’t like it enough to comply with my orders, so here it is in plain view. http://mjjoachim.blogspot.com/2014/02/writing-kissing-scenes-by-c-lee-mckenzie.html

Hope you’ll pay a visit while I find a sledge hammer to deal with this Apple product.

    Did you accidentally post your A-Z letter "Q" post? I saw it in my reader and went to read it, but it was gone! LOL.

    I hate computer problems. Good luck with yours. 🙂

    Oh that does suck. I've heard several folks having computer problems and it makes me nervous, I hope my computer doesn't get any bright ideas. Hope you manage to salvage it and all your files.

    Oh, this brings back my recent nightmare when my Mac Air totally died on me a few weeks ago. Good luck in getting it fixed!

    Ug! Technology… I don't think there's anything that can bring out the rabid beast faster. I'll don some safety goggles and watch, if you don't mind?

    Must be the week for computer craziness! My laptop completely died for about 5 hours during the weekend (hoping it's okay now!) and my crit buddy's totally died too. Hope your sledge hammer works!

    You poor thing. Like life doesn't have enough unpleasant surprises, losing your computer is just too much. But the regular link you put works and I'm heading over there now!

    I like that "computer crashing" doesn't constitute an emergency. It would in my life. Then again, virtually everything constitutes an emergency in my life: computer crashing, needing to play Hot Wheels with the boys, a shortage of gummi candy in my office… I find life is more exciting if you pretend it's a disaster movie of decidely non-epic proportions.

    My computer decided to die this morning as well. It worked fine last night, this morning was completely dead. Right now I'm on my husband's laptop. Glad I have that as backup but it's very frustrating when one's laptop just decides to lay over and not get up.
