Just so you know
My beloved computer is sitting in a box waiting to be shipped to somewhere deep in the heart of Texas. All of my mental triggers for blog posts are sitting in my hard drive, which is packed in a plastic bag and put away in a drawer waiting for a happy computer to be returned. The turn around time is looking like 21 days. It’s like my right arm has been cut off. Bruce’s spare laptop (I know, like who has a spare laptop right, well the guy with two laptops and a desk top, that’s who) has come to the rescue, but all of my passwords and preferences are not here. Remembering how to log into different accounts sucks. Also commenting on blogs on this laptop makes me angry because I have to fill in all that information.
This is of course the minor problem. The major thing is that my resume and cover letters live on my hard drive. I have a few saved at Monster and it means that I have to go into that account to get all those onto Bruce’s laptop. Also, I am in the middle of a jihad with my student loans company. They used an automatic debit that I have tried to cancel and took money from my checking account. My bank is in the process of getting my money back, but it means that I have to send faxes and letters to all over the world. Of course these letters all sit on my hard drive. This sucks.
In case you missed it, this sucks.
