If it's that dicky, get a new cable before it goes bad again; I've had a couple of SATA cables with inadequate plugs that needed replacement. You probably know someone with a drawer-full, so it shouldn't cost much.

I didn't do this because I'm going to the same university, just a different department in the same school. Also I've been gone for 2 years and didn't keep in touch with too many people.
I sent an email to one of the profs on my thesis committee and since I didn't see the other today like I thought I would, I'm sending him an email, too. And I have to decide on a 3rd person, which I may ask one I studied with in the fall who is now retired, since he is one of the few who has seen me working since I started school again. I just hate asking because I do not know how to ask.
Like seriously, it would be the worst kind of rejection if they said no and I'm already stressed out enough. This is just the icing on the cake. I hate asking people for things.

When I was going to go for a PhD the idea of having time or money for a child was so far away that I had pushed it into the "maybe someday, no need to think about it category" but now I have so much more hope of having a career in the next few years that I have to start thinking about it for real now. Also it helps that I have spent some time with my 2 year old niece recently. She loves me, and is adorable and the best. She has been making my ovaries nudge me and say "eeehh, we could do that!" But lets get into and then out of a graduate program before we give in to them, eh?

I sincerely and desperately hope you haven't mentioned this to Steve yet, and he finds out by reading it on the forum. Pleeeeeaasssseee

Oh, he knows. But the forum will be how I tell him when it actually happens.
