One thing to be learned in this issue is how to focus on the problem and how to resolve it. Not to panic and get mad or pissed off. As you may know this is how I make a living so it’s a very big deal for me to have a computer right away.

The great thing about it is I have a laptop as a backup, it’s actually my wife’s laptop she edits all the video for our church service on it. But for now I will work on this while waiting for my hard drive to get here.

Here’s the thing I think it was Saturday night I went to bed and shut my PC down and the next thing I knew it shut down by it self and when I turned it on to see what happened it wouldn’t turn on.

I tried to fix it but the hard drive is fried and then I realized that we had a thunder/ lightning storm here earlier and I forget to turn it off. Well to make the story short the damage is done and I need to fix it right away.

Over all I am proud of myself because I handled everything in a very calm manner and did not explode I said to myself Man! this is really testing me but you know what? I said I will not allow this to get to me I will resolve this and “The Show Must Go On!”

I called HP support and it’s under warranty so they will send me a replacement. I’ve lost some programs on my PC but it is just a matter of installing it and the rest it was safe in my external hard drive, thank God!

Even though I lost some of the programs I always look on the bright side it could be worse! But it’s all good and the beauty of it is I’ve learned how to deal with such problem so if ever happens to you all you have to do is relax, focus and fix the problem.

Always think that it’s not the end of the world but also be ready because I learned working from home doesn’t mean it’s Christmas everyday or it’s all rainbows and sunshine.

You need to be organized and be quick to act so you will not be stuck for awhile. So be calm, relax, focus and fix the problem when dealing with this kind of issue and don’t get mad that will not help it it will only make everything worse and out of proportion.

Just like the commercial on TV that says “Don’t Get Mad Get Glad” take care and Love you guys! Also I would like to especially thank my Wife Darcie, Duane Hope, Troy Williams, and Beau Penaranda for showing all their support and extending their helping hand Guys!

Thank you so much I always I appreciate you.

Till Next Time and God Bless You!

  • Good to see you’re rocking and rolling on Albert.

    EVERYONE either has faced this kind of problem OR WILL FACE IT!

    So be prepared!

    Albert you had an external hard drive. I use Carbonite as an online back up, Lynn Terry uses Mozy which is an external backup too.

    This is our business so we must be businesslike
