WTF? Is that a competitive rate?
Sadly, I suspect it is. A friend of mine had her hard drive crash (worse: she's a VIDDER), and she was getting quotes of over a grand from a couple of companies for recovery.
I forget what she ended up doing.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yikes, Suela, are you serious? I had no idea. I've always had a friend or family member or someone to help me when my hard drive crashed. Then again, they often couldn't recover anything from it, but at least it was free.
Oh no Allyson, do you need to escape?
My day isn't busy so much as blank. Two sick kids so I'm home, but for some strange reason I'm not mopping the floors. How odd.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I have just remembered that I will be meeting with an outside HR consultant on Monday afternoon. (I've really got to start reviewing both my personal and work schedules a little further in advance so it doesn't feel like items I'd scheduled but forgotten about are leaping out of the undergrowth to tackle and devour me, but that's another issue.) This is nothing, or almost nothing, to do with me personally, and is all about the general stresses and problems we've had functioning as a department since our new director came on board.
So...how should I handle this, if my goal is to A) protect my own job stability, and B) help the department? Because I have all kinds of opinions of what's going on here, and who's doing what wrong and right, but I'm not sure how to express them effectively in this context.

ION, is it 1/20/09 yet?
Dubya, in a videoconference with troops in Afghanistan: “It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cable down. Internet down. Migraine. Home sick on incredibly busy work day. Like, HUGE. Noisy children in courtyard. Stealing bandwidth on very flakey connection.
I'm surly and grinchy so I don't have the love for noise in the shared areas of the complex, no matter how old or young the people are. At least there will be pizza.
Hey...internet came back! Muted whoopee! More intermittent reading of lighting blogs.
