Computer crises

I needed to work today, because I've got a day off this week to have a wisdom tooth removed. However my computer equipment had different ideas. My laptop and desktop decided to stop working on the same day, meaning that I spent approximately:

7 hours trying to fix it including uninstalling and reinstalling the same programme 3 times
1.5 hours swearing and throwing things around the flat
1 hour doing a piece of work the first time
45 minutes re-doing the same piece of work because it didn't save even though it said it had
A further 45 minutes faffing around designing a poster without getting round to putting in any content.

I'll have to hide from my supervisor tomorrow while I do what I was supposed to do today. Could be a small problem during our meeting at 2.30pm, but I plan to take precautions - a fake moustache and glasses should do it.
