Computer depression
So, my computer recently displayed an error message suggesting that the system configuration was corrupted. My computer tech friend, who's more of a software engineer than a troubleshooter, took one look at the error message and said, "That doesn't look good."
It seems my service contract has ended, much to my surprise and horror. So, I attempted to fix things myself...NOT a good plan.
Now my computer works fine, but I have somehow lost access to all of my old files. I believe they are still there, just inaccessible. This is particularly depressing because I have a half-written manuscript hidden on my computer somewhere, and I am feeling uninspired to start over.
If anyone knows of a good techie who can help me with this problem, feel free to post information in the comments. In the meantime, I'm starting the manuscript again....
