Or Not
Let's see now...
- Get to the local Apple Store to get my failed hard drive replaced. And no, no data was recovered.
- Swing by game store near the Apple Store to pick up new arrivals (there are at least two there, and two or three others I want to put on order).
- Once home, begin the process of reinstalling important apps and recreating what data can be recreated, mostly from my laptop, which has older versions of many things... and actually the most up-to-date for my email and financial records, which is good luck.
- Download a utility to recover music from my iPod.
- Determine which CDs need to be re-imported into iTunes (those not recoverable from my iPod, since it only had space for 75% or so of my collection).
- Sort out more "want to play soon" boardgame titles and de-clutter game shelves by storing less interesting ones away in an upstairs closet.
- Find some time for the French Grand Prix tomorrow AM.
- Watch episodes of The Champions as time allows.
All those early steps get turned off because the Apple Store now says it takes 1-2 days to replace a hard drive rather than the 30-45 minutes they'd told me before (and which I know to be true, having done it myself in the past). Which meant I was leaving the Apple Store more than an hour before the game store opens and don't have the tower here to do any of the other steps with. Annoying. And if it does become available later today or tomorrow, I probably won't want to go get it because I-93 is going to become a parking lot because of the NASCAR race just outside of Concord tomorrow.
Well, I can still sort the board games. And I have plenty of TV time. I was just kinda hoping to actually get things done.
