Learned something new today. 

Hais’s brand new tablet computer fell off of her bed last night and she could not get it to boot. She contacted tech support (in India somewhere) and they “diagnosed” something was wrong with the hard drive. That left me having to drive to Wichita today to see about getting it repaired. Best Buy said that it could take a month or longer to get the computer back. Time was important, since in a bit over a month, Hais will be leaving for college. She was a bit panicked over the Comp papers store on the computer…that are due tomorrow, as well.

This is the first time that I have been in a Best Buy since the Geek Squad had been introduced and I must say that I was somewhat impressed. Well the short of the story is…..the lady at Best Buy had no difficulties what-so-ever booting the computer. I guess it just needed a bit of rest and recovery from its heavy fall onto the wood floor of Hais’ bedroom.

Lesson learned today….before you drive two hours to turn in an insurance claim on your daughter’s computer first make certain that it is indeed damaged and then right before you leave….check it again.

The upside of all of this was that I was able to shop a little while I was in Wichita. Found the perfect Marilyn Monroe poster for Hais’ dorm room and had fun at the Super Target. I must really be boring if this was the highlight of my day…haha!
