My computer wouldn’t start up Monday morning after the weekend. I was going to ship it to New Orleans but the IT lady didn’t work Thursday and Friday so I got approved to drive it there.
She called me yesterday and said it’s not recognizing the hard drive and she had to call HP to get them to send a new one.
So it will be a while before I get my computer back and I will have lost all my work.
This really sucks but I guess I get a mini vacation out of it.
I can’t work without it. Don’t know how I am going to sign my timesheet tomorrow. I guess I will have to get my manager to do it.
I’m guessing this is confidential info that can’t be saved to the cloud? My radio station uses MS OneDrive as its back end. I have no fear of getting hit by ransomware or a drive failure. Worst case, my data streams back down to the new machine within about six hours and I’m good to go again.
They won’t let us put things on an external hard drive or a memory stick. I tried that when I didn’t have a printer. The IT lady said she will give me a password so I can do it in the future. We also have a small shared drive I can back up to.
