What the hell!?

Away! Away SICK FEELING!
I was just online trying to figure something out (work related) when FFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSST! And dead goes my beautiful Imac. Black screen. Oh help! Oh shit! Something fused because I can hear the alarm beeping like it does when the electricity is down...but hang on, the phone and the lights still work...JUST MY COMPUTER!? AH SHIT.
Have I got a warrantee? Yes. I have a protection plan in place till May 2009. I phoned the number and got through to a nice, patient American voice. We tried a different socket to plug it into - still dead. I have a case number and now I need to take it in to a repair place.
Um, I'm right in the middle of a job - naturally.
Did I do a backup? Did I act on that nagging thought I'd had a couple of weeks ago?
No. Shit.

I'm on the PC now, checking my mail and stuff - and venting here. But why is the PC dipping in and out of power too? A few sizzles and crackles and off it goes, only to (robustly) start up again. What the hell is going on? It's frying my brain! I can't think in situations like this! What does it mean! What do I do now?

I'll report all to Ben when he returns from his morning adventure with Josh. We've enrolled Joshka for a term at the gymnasium - an introduction to gymnastics and all the equipment. We went to a couple of free introductory sessions last term which he loved, so we thought we'd give it a go.

And then this afternoon we can go watch some trampoline magic at the Events Centre - there's a competition on at the moment with the finals on Sunday. OR, I'll drive my poor Mac to Tauranga to the shop I purchased it from.

sniff.
