What a shitty day... 

First I totally slip and fall down on snow, 

Then I install a brand new SSD into an external enclose, realize that was stupid and then completely destroy one of the screws so I can't get it out anymore. I tired it with the available tools but only manage to cut freakishly deep into my thumb. 

 

So for today, no SSD, pain in the back as well as in the finger. Nice.

    they make drill bits to take out screws with severely damaged heads, as in actually take the screw out, not drill it out.

    Well, I don't care much about the screw nor about the enclosure but I don't have a drill at home :/ I'll take it to work on Monday and do it there. 

    Problem is that there's a 250gig 850evo inside :D

    Reminds me of the time I stripped a screw when trying to get an hdd out of a laptop drive bay thing to replace the ssd.

     

    I didn't have a drill or dremel so I ended up spending an hour trying to create a little notch with a knife so that I could stick a screw driver in there before I realized that wasn't going to work so I just ripped part out of the drive bay, so now there's permanently a screw stuck in that hdd.
