Seasons’ Feelings: Handling Holiday Stress

Here they come.

Those Annual events intended to bring joy, hope and love. Sometimes they bring anxiety, stress, depression and exhaustion.

  • Thanksgiving
  • Hanukkah
  • Christmas
  • New Year’s Eve

And all the family, business and social gatherings to celebrate the season.

Oh, and the shopping.

And the kids’ programs. Those incredibly long kids programs filled with other peoples’ kids who really aren’t THAT cute.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a lawyer, doctor, or pro coffee barista–we can all use a few pointers on dealing with the Seasons’ Feelings.

ACCEPT OUR HOLIDAY GIFT TO YOU – no strings.

Recovery

I’m back up and running thanks to two things:

1.  The guys at The Mac Shack in Boulder who understood my situation and for a small rush charge installed a new 160gb hard drive in my Powerbook in one day for a parts and labor total of less than $400 (and two trips to Boulder).  I’m glad they’re planning to open a store in Fort Collins – although I don’t want to have to see them for this kind of thing again anytime soon.

2. Apple’s “Time Machine” back-up system (part of the latest operating system).  All I had to do was boot off the system disk and go to the Time Machine application. There was a selection to restore the entire system from back-up – which warns you that it will wipe your disk and set it up as of the date of the back-up you choose, but that’s exactly what I wanted. One click of a button and 2 hours later (after the restoration process was complete) it was like nothing bad had ever happened. Only I now have about 60gb of hard-drive space I didn’t have before due to the upgrade in size of the new drive.

CRASH!

Hello,

On Saturday, my hard drive terminally crashed. Luckily, I have everything backed up, but it will be 3-6 days before I can get the drive replaced. The only issue should be delayed email responses. If you need me, call 970-493-1070 and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks for your patience.
