Stupid PC

Oh, and did I mention that my PC decided to die on me at the most wonderful time?

I get home around 6, login to work and start running a script to process some stuff. Right after the script starts running, my home PC just DIES on me. Great. Now I have to go to work to make sure that the script completes properly. But I have a dinner appointment at 7.

No problem. I'll head to work after dinner. At 10pm, I complete my 25 miles drive to work, park the car in the parking lot in front of the office, and then I realize that I forgot to bring my badge. How the hell am I going to get in without a damn badge? Answer: I can't. So I drive 25 miles back home to get my badge, drive 25 miles back to work (again), and when I login to my computer, I find out that the stupid damned script worked perfectly and in fact completed its tasks successfully at 6.20pm. ARGH!!

But you know what? If I didn't come to work, knowing my luck, the script would have bombed out and I'd have gotten my butt deep fried the next day at work.
