I was not a very happy person this morning. My dad decided to get security systems for our house and grandma's. What he didn't know until the guy came to install it was he needed to connect directly to the internet/phone line, and the cable comes into the house in my room. So I was unexpectedly kicked out of my room. Then they moved all my stuff around. Then, when dad finally moved everything back, he decided to fiddle with the way I had my laptop set up. And now, for some unknown reason, my BRAND NEW EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE WON'T WORK! This is a fucking nightmare! After all the time I had to take re-downloading the anime I had on the previously broken hard drive, I can't get to any of it AGAIN! Unless I can get the damn thing working again on my own, I'll have to go out this week to a local computer repair place and see if they'll be able to get into it and recover the information. There won't be any point taking it to the Geek Squad, because they're too chicken to crack these things open.

I am very, very, amazingly pissed right now...

EDIT: It looks like part of the connection on the power dock is broken. Dad says the drive started to fall, but he caught it, and because it was still plugged into the laptop, the power dock popped off. If this is all, then we need a new power dock. The question is, can we get one right away, or will they have to order a new one, which means waiting. I'm not a big fan of waiting.
