So, I came back to the office - my computer was displaying the "blue screen of death", which normally is solved with a reboot; except it really was the blue screen of death. My hard drive was totally toast. I cobbled together a system so that I could get some work done. Spare parts have been ordered and installed; most of the required software has likewise been downloaded and installed; however, some of the software supposedly is too difficult to install remotely, so now the help desk wants me to send my computer to MN to be reimaged. I told them no, at least not until my new lap top computer arrives.
Tuesday night, instead of going on the Ward Temple Night outing, I went to Greeley. Seems that my car has a couple of lights on that shouldn't be on: Check Engine, and IMA. The former is likely caused by the latter; the latter is a fairly sure sign that the hybrid's battery is toast. The car goes in to be checked tomorrow. (The battery replacement, if what I've heard is true, is about $3,000).
Best part about it all: I'm in such a good mood after the Disney trip, that I don't care... and my phone is still working.
