Endless Formatting and Unexpected Delays

in tanzania •  2 months ago 

It's evening in Tanzania and I'm staring at a progress bar that seems determined to taunt me. I spent the entire day rescuing corrupted data, only to find myself stuck in an endless loop of formatting my external SSD to exFAT. It's been hours and there's still seven more to go! My stomach is growling, and the allure of food is becoming increasingly tempting.

I think I'll have to call it a night on the formatting front. This is taking way too long. I've just ordered some spaghetti, so let's see if Tanzanian cuisine can live up to the hype. I'll update you all on the verdict after dinner.

Dinner update: The spaghetti was surprisingly delicious! Back to the SSD torture. It's been over an hour now and still telling me more than 5 hours, the progress bar is still mocking me. I've got to head back to my room soon because the bar closes in an hour.

To top it all off, I can't seem to upload this post. It's probably my terrible internet connection, but there's also talk of a worldwide IT meltdown affecting banks and airports. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

For now, this is just a quick update. Stay tuned for more stories (hopefully less tech-related) in the next post.
