I bought a new external hard drive to transfer my files onto from my failing Mac so I can take it in to get repaired. It is a network drive which means it plugs into my router and then I should be able to access all of my files on that drive from any computer in the house. I have an old PC that I will need to work from while this one is in the shop.

Of course…as I explained before nothing "just works" out of the box. So my PC wasn't mapping or recognizing this new drive which means I cannot access my files.

I make the call we all dread…

tech support.

I spent an hour on the phone with a decent guy, but it was taking forever and we didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

Mr. Tech offers a new idea to solve this dilemma and just as he starts to explain it to me…

beep beep beep…

the line goes dead.

Seriously?

How many times has this happened to you?

Do they have a secret emergency button that will just disconnect the line mid sentence?

Like one of those saftey parachutes from planes.

When all else fails, pull this cord and the line will magically disconnect.

Voila.

Problem solved.

Now someone else can deal with it.

Needless to say after that debacle I wasn't keen on getting right back on the phone and starting from scratch again. I will be forced to do it though because I need a viable solution before I take this computer in.

What does that have to do with my outfit?

Nothing.

I won this skirt as part of a giveaway from Missguided from Jessi at Haircut and General Attitude. Thanks Jessi! I also got a dress and some heels that I will show off in upcoming posts.
