I love my IT boyfriend

On friday, my laptop of many years died (for the 2nd time in its life). Luckily, I had backed up my important data on a whim a few days before. The proportions of the windows were all off, and there were only icons without text. The same was true even in Safety Mode. System restore didn't fix the problem. Of course getting to system restore without text was difficult. The whole thing was ridiculously messed up! Alex had to use my desktop to figure out where all the menus were and then count down the empty menus on my laptop.

He's not really into IT, but he's always useful for fixing my computer issues :) My laptop only has to last me another 2-3 weeks till our new desktops arrive to lab.

It's just really scary to step away for a few minutes and come back to find things have gone horribly wrong.
