Computer Crash!

Ugh, so for the last couple of days, I've been dealing with some computer issues.  I was fortunate to save all of my important files, photos, videos, and music to a couple of flash drives before it completely crashed on me this morning.  I had to reboot the laptop back to factory settings, but the good news is that I am back online now and my computer is running better than ever!!!  Wahooo!  What a pain this has been!  I had antivirus software on my computer so I don't know if I got a virus or if it was malware or what.  Whatever it was wouldn't let me get into anything Google at all yesterday.  After the reboot I've had no trouble logging in and going to Google sites. 

Anyway, I've only got three nights left to work at my job, unless things change.  There has been no word from the new owner at all, which makes me believe he isn't concerned if people stay or not.  There are only three people who are defiinitely staying (if the new owner offers them the job and hires them) and one who doesn't know.  Everyone else won't be coming back, myself included.  Since he has not talked to any of us and acted like he wants us (plus it is doubtful he would keep our pay the same), I have made up my mind not to return.  He hasn't offered me the job and there are only a few days left before he takes over.  I haven't even met him yet.  So when I sign my termination papers and receive my severance pay on Friday, I am going to go file for unemployment and start my journey of finding a new job.  And I'm going to enjoy the time off in the process.  I've been working nights there for over 7 1/2 years and before this job I did shift work for 7 years.  I am ready to find a job with normal hours.  Now I'll have a bit more time for my blythe dolls and to try to get some spring cleaning and yard work done.  I hope I can find a job that I'll like.  It will probably be a while before I find something.  I don't care what the government says, the economy is still bad and I don't see where it is improving much.  :(

I have not been sleeping well at all lately because of stress.  I think I have been averaging around 2-3 hours a day.  That is not good.  I'm so tired right now and my upper back and shoulders are so tense and achy.  I'm getting ready to go to bed right now, but I wanted to make a quick post in my blog since I am back online.  :) 

Thanks to all of those that are following me.  I truly appreciate it!  Until later my friends!

  1. Hi Rachel! How have you been? I hope you are feeling better now. You're lucky you were able to save important files and photos in your flash drives.

  2. Thank you. I am doing well and enjoying my time off now. Yes, I am so happy I saved all of my photos, videos, and documents. I lost a lot of stuff the first time my computer crashed. This is the second time I've had to reboot the system to factory settings. It is working just fine now. :)
