Love / Hate relationship with Pro Tools

My relationship with Digidesign is like this: I spend thousands of dollars, and what I get in return is a mostly functioning recording system that does what I like 90% of the time. I have always been pro-digital and think that it is truly a powerful system for recording my own music as well as the bands I record. I really have not had any complaints. Every once in a while it gets a little weird, but in general I have had good luck with it. Then I have a night like last night. The night started just wrong. The plan was to go to Audio Design and do final mixes for the Red Feathers EP. Inevitably, on a long enough time line, anything that can go wrong will. I understand this. In fact, this is like my life motto. But last night was painful. I left work at 5:30, went to pickup the keys to the studio from Jeff, and ran to my house to pick up my firewire drives and say hi to our dog. I get to the studio around 6:30pm and Anthony and Danny are waiting for me, and Marco pulls up just after me. We load in my crap and get ready to start working. As I am setting everything up for mixing, I realize that I am an idiot. I forgot to convert the tracks to Protools 6.9 format and instead left them in the 7.1 format that I run at my house. Not really a big deal since I have my computer with me I'll just open the sessions and re-save. WRONG. I don't have my digi approved interface with me, so there will be NO opening of PT sessions for me. I glance around the studio with the hope of seeing a gleaming MBox that will save my day, but no such luck. So as Danny and I are headed back to my house to grab my 002R to convert the damn files, I happen to get hold of Spencer and divert him to grab it for my from my house to save some time. I am starting to get stressed about time since we have a lot of work to get the tracks ready for final mixes, but we head back to the studio Meanwhile, I begin setting everything up and decide to just play the original sessions so I can get everything routed and just convert the sessions and go once Spencer gets there. So I open up the first session and what do I see?

DAE ERROR -9131 Pro Tools cannot open the session

WTF?? Ok, let me try another song... 9131, 9131, 9131, 9131, 9131. What? Fuck you Protools. 9131. Please really, I promise I'll be good to you, not this time.... 9131. Jesus H. WTF? 9131. AHHHHH. 9131. 9131. oh yeah? 9131. FUCK!! After phone calls to everyone I know, Google searches, Digidesign [UN]Answerbase, and the DUC I finally feel completely worked. I find out the answer to my problem is to reformat the drive. However the studio computer doesn't have enough space to move my sessions over. I try copying the files to another drive, but it tells me I have 5 days to wait for that. At this point I feel like such a failure, I don't even know how to tell the band. So I call Jeff, and he is so nice, he tells me "Dude, don't worry about it. Pack up and fix your drive and come back tomorrow." What a relief. I don't have to pay for my 3.5 hours of agony. So we all head out and I go home to fix my crap and get the drive prepared for a session the next day. This is easily the worst recording session I have ever had. Luckily I am friends with these guys and they were very understanding too. So, Dearest Protools, my good friend, Go fuck yourself.
