Last night was very windy and I think the wind caused a power problem with my old computer. I was using it last night when I heard a noise and the computer shut down. As I was about to go to bed anyway, I just didn't bother trying to re-start it.
This morning, I tried to start it up but it seems to be not getting any power. The monitor is fine, but the computer is dead.
Although I mainly use my laptop, I used the old one for claims work-related stuff and printing. Now since the computer is down, so is the printer. I have no idea where the CD that came with the printer went to. I've had the computer and printer for 11 years.
As providence would have it (that's what I meant by "how timely"), I received a new claim assignment late this morning. It is to make a cold call on the president of a trucking company in San Pedro. Well, it appears that it's my luck this assignment came in so I can use the money to have the computer repaired (if it is repairable).
I went down to San Pedro and nobody was around, so I left a note and card at the door. The traffic coming back was terrible and the air temperature was in the eighties outside. It took me more than a half hour to get from Washington Blvd. to Sunset Blvd. (usually a 5 minute drive) on the San Diego (I-405) Freeway.
I shouldn't complain, my drive time and mileage are compensated. Plus, this also means I get to go back to San Pedro again.
