I actually said this outloud before I read msbelle's post. She is wise.

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
I predict failure. I didn't bring smokes with me to work, and I have an appointment at 3pm to see about a nicotine inhaler to help me out a bit.

The salad I bought today was $3 cheaper than the salad I bought Friday. Screw you Metro Cafe, you and your over-priced lettuce.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't know that I can drive a truck.
Last time I moved, it was with a small truck, bigger than a van but smaller than the 20-foot Uhaul kind. (I think it was, in fact, 13 feet.) And I was pleasantly surprised with how driveable it was: not too wide for the lane, fine on the turns, not weird with acceleration or braking. The only comment I had on it was that the seats were waaaay bouncy, and that the cab of the truck smelled like feet. But, I think that's true of all trucks.
Now, it was barely big enough for all my stuff, or anyway I had a couple carloads of incidentals. But that is a function of my pack-rat issues rather than of the truck itself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Driving a truck, especially on narrow-ish streets can be nervous-making at first, but eventually you get a sense of how much space you're taking up and it gets a lot easier.
eta: If you have to maneuver in a small space (especially backing up) it's a good idea to get someone outside to guide you....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I predict failure.
Don't predict. Just do. If you fail, do again. But wait until actual failure before dealing with it.
Gnargh. I know a guy who can do hard drive recovery for me for cheap. And I need my data. But the guy...let's just say he's one of the guys that tried to extort money from Tom Cruise over his wedding photos. msbelle, you just got a data recovery quote--you know how insane prices are. This is the only possible way I can afford it.
I just don't want to make the call.

yeah, I am kinda ignoring my data issues at the moment. a guy at work is getting me a program to try - If I get that soon I will pass it on to you. Otherwise, I need to go to the trusty mac store adn just pay up, but I think I'd like to know if a tax refund is coming before I do that.

Sudden attack of apathy. Have work to do. Cannot bring myself to care.

Random health news - apparently, taking Ginkgo biloba and ibuprofen at the same time can result in "Fatal intracerebral mass bleeding."
Damn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Driving a truck, especially on narrow-ish streets can be nervous-making at first, but eventually you get a sense of how much space you're taking up and it gets a lot easier.
When I drove the U-Haul to move to NYC, it turned out I was moving onto a very narrow street. I totally nearly took someone's mirror off. Oops. That did not get easier -- the beginning of the drive was wide DC streets and then highways, so it was more or less OK, but then I had to go through the tunnel, through Manhattan, and on to this narrow street. Traumatic!
