I wrote a really nice entry at work last night. I saved it to a floppy and brought it home. When I tried to access A: I got the message:The disk in Drive A: is not formatted. Format it now? Y/N Well, shit. So I tried another disk. Same deal. Then I remembered... the other day, there was a disk that required some force to remove from the A; drive. And after I got it out I noticed that the little door didn't spring shut any more. Hmmm. There is a little spring in those things that closes the door... O'well, gravity will take care of it, and if gravity doesn't, magnetism will...

Right!

So, when I am clear-headed... I anticipate that happening sometime next Friday, a week from yesterday... I will disassemble my A: drive and probably find that fucking little spring clinging to the read head.

In the meantime, I guess that I just won't write at work. Or if I do, I won't write journal entries.

Last night was a pretty good night for a Friday night. Of course, that just means that everything is piling up for tonight. But I got some stuff done, cleaned up the Trauma room so I could use it if necessary... they're still working on the walls and floors, making them pretty and stuff. So I swept and mopped the floor and straightened things out as much as I could. Not perfect, but OK.

More tomorrow....
