Higgs boson - where are you?

For almost 3 years I have been freaking out about this project.
Almost 10 days ago CERN fired up the LHC [Large Hadron Collider] for the first time in a year. Most people aren't familiar with the LHC project, so I don't talk about it much. But it's getting to me.
Seriously...
Basically, they will take two sets of hydrogen atoms, remove the electrons. Spin each set in opposite directions at high speeds. See what they make when you slam them into each other. In search of Higgs Boson. HOPEFULLY, I think we'll need to get a lot bigger than the LHC before we see anything truly novel. Or we might just create a black hole.
Seriously.
SERIOUSLY!

CERN announced early Monday that the Large Hadron Collider has become the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC pushed protons to 1.18 TeV (trillion electron volts), surpassing the previous record of 0.98 TeV held by Fermilab’s Tevatron.
mechanical failure just a week after it fired up for the first time in September 2008. Now, 10 days after it turned on again, scientists are celebrating with their fingers crossed that the machine is safely on its way to the physics experiments they plan to begin next year when the LHC has reached its target energy of 7 TeV.
“We are still coming to terms with just how smoothly the LHC commissioning is going,” said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer in a press release Monday. “However, we are continuing to take it step by step, and there is still a lot to do before we start physics in 2010. I’m keeping my champagne on ice until then.”
The first beam was injected on November 20, and two beams sped around the 17-mile ring in opposite directions three days later. All four of the LHC’s detectors recorded data from the collision of those two beams.
The first to announce the record may have been the scientists running the CMS detector through their Twitter feed:
@CMSexperiment: World Record!! Tonight at about 22:00 the LHC accelerated a beam of protons to 1180 GeV - a new record energy!
Next, the intensity of the beams will be increased for about a week, and then collisions to calibrate the machine will be carried out through December.

I've been working on this post for 3 weeks. I've been discussing with some other friends on another site I dork out on and this is the best comment:
"It's going to break again. Everyone knows that the atom smasher isn't going to work until December 22, 2012, at which point a massive black hole will be created and the universe destroyed in accordance with the Mayan prophecy."
and
" I wonder what the future time traveling saboteurs will use to travel back in time to destroy this?"
