So, still working on the sodding computer issues.
Got a call this morning… Dallas County wants me to come in for a 2nd interview! Hooray!
2nd Interview preferred time, for them, is in the middle of my Wife’s family vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. I’ve done the math. The drive from THERE to INTERVIEW is about 5.6 hours. So… if I HAD to… I could leave that morning at 8 am… drive… interview… and return around 10 pm. But even my wife is thinking that would be way too much driving.
I contacted their scheduling office and tentatively have the interview on July 27th (my Mom’s birthday) but.... gah! Part of me thinks, “Dammit man… if they say show up in a pink tutu on Saturday, do it because you want this job so much” but… the other part of me really hopes that it ends up working in my favor… being more of a “This applicant puts family and schedule as a priority.” Mrgh alt text
Office Depot suggested a new laptop would be required to fix my issues :/ But new laptop or not… I need to find some way of charging my laptop to get the information I need from it. Right?

I once was offered a job interview but it was for a day where I was out of town for a funeral and they were like "if you want the job, you'll change your plans". I can't really change a funeral, so they never got to interview me.

Can you take the hard drive out of the computer and put it in a cheap enclosure and then move everything to the new computer? I have a Mac but just bought a new ssd drive and cloned the old one.

Good luck and you can just have them take the old hard drive out and transfer the data. At least I would assume you can do it the same way as a regular computer.
