The HDD on my big Mac is toast. I spent almost all of the morning dealing with it and that's the verdict. Luckily I still have a year left on the warranty and I can have it repaired but the downside is I need TWO fucking folders off of it. I just need it to boot long enough to get those folders. After spending many hours of trying to fuck with it, I managed to create a bootable Ubuntu USB drive which at least let me see the folders. It wouldn't let me copy because I wasn't root, but I know now I can see them. I didn't finish because I needed to leave. With the exception of about 45 minutes at the store getting stuff for B, I spent from 7am to 2pm trying to deal with this machine. At 3, I left. I got to the hotel around 4, plugged in the PS4, ordered Chinese food, and turned into a couch potato. That part of the day was rather enjoyable.

You don't know how much I am looking forward to this week. A week of being on the other side of the fence and without any of my normal work colleagues around. I just get to be a face in the crowd. I am leaving in a few to get up there but first I need to shower.
