Oh how the gods love to mess with me

Well, Hera, you have been putting irritating obstacles in Kevin's path all week, you even had him accosted by teenagers and made him the target of an aggressive driver, but Kevin shrugged it off and had a nice day at Wompatuck. You have got to be more creative to get under the skin of a man the likes of Kevin. Kevin has had a long hard life, and he has coping skills for dealing with daily BS. What more should I have done Zeus? Watch the Master at work. I know how men like Kevin think. When he tries to mix the video he recorded yesterday the expensive software he uses will fail. He will reinstall the software, but when he restarts the computer he will find that the master boot record was corrupted by the software. Kevin being a smart monkey will use the System Restore points because he doesn't want to lose all of his installed applications he's paid hundreds of dollars collecting. But the System Restore will corrupt the hard drive even more by removing the drive mount point. After battling with these problems for nine hours Kevin will concede his defeat for the day because he sees no other option, but to reformat the drive and lose everything. He will have to re-find all of his software and find the serial numbers to get any of it to work again. That is a devious plan, Zeus. Oh but silly Hera, I'm not done with messing with Kevin. Like I said before Kevin has coping skills, he is going to walk away from his computer problem and rest for the night, so he can come back tomorrow with new ideas and fresh eyes. He's going to get in bed and watch Television, well his Tv uses the internet, I'm going to crash his Internet Service Provider, yup that's right the Coup de grace to end his fruitless day, alone in the dark with nothing to relax him. And that's how it should be done here on Mount Olympus!

You're not going to get this unless you are a 1960s movie fan

I'm confident I will get it working, I have been a hobbyist computer guy for 25+ years. I built this computer that is broken. I know all my files and photos are safe, on that drive. It's all the software and apps that are in jeopardy of going bye-bye that has my head exploding, I have a lot of time and money invested in them. And so many other things going on in my life, Mom's cancer is back, and something in the universe is piling all this stuff all at once. I have coping skills to handle one or two things at a time, but my head is buzzing (Tinnitus) Had to take an Adavan to get to sleep last night.

I hope you feel better too. So much to have to compartmentalize. My Mum is 90 and she has already said she is going to refuse the operation, so it's just time ticking away.

Thank you

OMG! I love your post. As my wise 29 year old son loves to say "life is a series of sh_t storms". Life is not fair, and some people have to deal with more sh__t than others. You can be guaranteed, however, that all people have to deal with some sh_t in their lifetime. I love your resiliency. I have had technology fail me at the worst times. I have learned that you cannot rely on one type of technology. If my ISP is not working, I try to do meditations and listen to music on my phone. I hope tomorrow goes better for you.

I hope eventually this situation of yours can get straightened out. Sounds like a ton of stress.
