Too lazy to summarize post in one line

Frelling piece of *dren*.

So, I'm d/l an SGA ep, because I need new fodder for a vid- it reads as 60 % done and I take off to watch 'Next' in the meantime. Come back an hour later and WHAT DO I FIND? The bloody laptop's gone and restarted itself for some reason, and then a pop-up appears, annoucing proudly that 'new programs were installed and required your laptop be reset' and would I like to view these amazing new modifications and how absolutely thrilled I must be at its efficiency and consideration and OMFGTHERAGE. *seethes*

Sure, laptop, great work. I'm impressed. Never mind how angry I am at having to start d/l from scratch again. Ack.

Help, someone? I'm looking for all the Sparky balcony and desk scenes. I know a few, but I'm not sure if my list is missing something:

Desk: Coup d'Etat, Misbegotten, Vengeance [feet were up on her table in The Return but other people were around so I can't be bothered with it]

Balcony: Rising, BIS, The Tower, Progeny...?

Does Shep have his own office? I read about that in fics now and then. Strange thought, he wouldn't be hanging out there too often, writing reports and whatnot. Administrator!Shep? *chuckles*

Dude, I fucking hate it when my Windows restarts itself because it's installed NEW AND IMPORTANT UPDATES ZOMG!! Nevermind that fact that I've been iploading several things for the past 8 HOURS and I have to start from scratch again *rages*

Oh, you know my pain. *commiserates*

Aww, 8 hours? That sucks much worse than my mildly crushing experience. [At least I got to enjoy a Nicholas Cage movie that does *not* suck while I was blissfully ignorant of the fiasco waiting to happen.]

I would totally be giving up on the damn thing if I were you, but I admire your resolve to start again. Hope your upload works out and alleviates your rage. [Or else I pity people around you- isn't it amazing how technology can make you so excited and euphoric and floating above other mere mortals, then turn around and do the equivalent of dropping you off a cliff into churning waters that smash your helpless body against merciless rocks, leaving nothing but mush and pulp where a living, breathing person with hopes and dreams once existed?]

I'm trying again with mine now but I can't sit in front of the laptop for a few hours just to make sure no errant pop-ups appear and destroy all my...uh, hard work. [Though I did sit through an hour of mind-numbing boringness, staring at the screen displaying the d/l's progress, waiting for my Shark ep the other night- er, morning, it was like, 3am. *whistles innocently and totally non-obsessively*]

I know that it isn't all that difficult to click the d/l link, but it hurts to come back and find it was for nothing! Especially when I'd checked before and it was going smoothly and then BAM! Blindsided.

What *are* these bloody updates anyway? I don't notice any improvements to the laptop...are these my complimentary viruses to go with the aggravation of losing my ep?
