I'm in the midst of my usual pre-trip panic--Lane and I leave for Seattle at 6am tomorrow morning, and I feel completely unprepared.
The panic was magnified by the fact that my beloved MacBook Pro went out for repair this week--a new logic board, as part of the ongoing attempt to fix the intermittent and frustrating wifi problems I've been encountering for months.
When it got picked up yesterday, it seemed pretty unlikely that I'd get it back in time, and I've been frantically trying to prep a PC laptop for the trip. But the wonderful woman who does our department's Apple-authorized mac repair emailed me this afternoon to say that she'd finished the logic board swap, and was willing to drop the machine off at my house since RIT was already closed for the day.
Wow. I am impressed and delighted. So I want to give her a plug here, for people who might be looking for Rochester area Mac repairs -- her name is Christine Cormack, and her company is CoreMac. Send some business her way if you're in the area--that kind of service is hard to come by, and it sure beats spending hours on the phone with Apple's service center, or dealing with long waits at the Apple Store genius bar!
Now all I have to do is finish the laundry, buy Lane a pair of pants that fit and don't have rips or stains, pack, and try to get to sleep early enough so that the 4am wakeup call isn't completely unmanageable...
Never fear...Super stepdaughter is here!!!!
