I swear to god my computer knows it’s going to be replaced.

After landing a third job, I decided it was okay—even though it’s really not, financially—for me finally to get a new computer. It should arrive in the next two weeks.

So my 8-year-old computer knows—it KNOWS!—that I used it to find its replacement. It rendered itself pretty much unusable for a couple of days, forcing me to uninstall a couple of programs, and now it’s been sending me ominous messages.

Yes, I’ve saved everything on an external hard drive. But I worry: will it co-opt the peripherals, too?

It’s going to be a long two weeks.
