where is the threshold of my patience?

Work is as usual. When I feel agitated, the 'fantastic contraptions' calms me down a bit. I'm down to 'Tube' now. At least my efforts were not in vain. Yesterday, my second hard drive failed me again. And just when I had placed substantial files in it too. To think that my Dad had brought it to PC Express several times already, I even bought a new power supply because they said that was the problem, and the odds of having the hard drive reformatted again, just stokes up my anger. My Dad would have to bring it back to them AGAIN to check. I don’t know how far his diplomacy would go. As far as I’m concerned, we have every right to be angry and diplomacy is out of the question. When they first reformatted my HD, it was out of complete stupidity. And lucky them, it was my Dad who was there. The second time it was brought back, they told us the settings was the one not right. But, of course, my files were already lost. They should have given us a replacement then. Just after barely four months of buying the brand new HD, it failed already? My Dad keeps telling me that repair is ‘trial and error’. He says he knows because he’s an electronic engineer. But shouldn’t the technicians diagnose the HD for every possible cause why it has malfunctioned. If those technicians have been doctors - and thank goodness they’re not, but, to make a point, suppose they are – and they’re doing a very sloppy job, which they call ‘trial and error’. The patient may very well be dead by now. But since they’re not, my HD – hoping against all hope – may still have a chance. Anyway, I’m not techy, but I checked the computer management and it reads my 2nd drive as healthy – though when I try and open it, I get an error message that says ‘corrupted and unreadable’. I simply refuse to believe that. I would’ve, if only the technicians who diagnosed my HD were not utter dolts.

But for now, all I can do is wait - wait and I think I need to play some more of ‘Fantastic Contraptions’.
