My home hard drive is making weird noises, so I did an immediate backup of all my writing. It's the only irreplaceable stuff on my computer (I can bear to reinstall Dungeon Siege and The Sims).
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

ServerS* probably got a power cut shutdown. I think. Which is also problematic, even if they are physically ok. Which....THUMPWHOOOSH.

I called a friend at the AAS to let other work people there know since they can't access email!

I don't know what to do with myself. I guess I can go return some shit to BestBuy and then go swimming.

Because books.
Holy shit, sara. That sounds like a giant, messy clusterfuck. I'm sorry.
If I brushed my eyelashes daily, I'm afraid they'd be gone in a week.

That sucks, sarameg. I hope you can retrieve everything you need from the servers.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Gah, Sara. That's awful.
The Angry Birds reference reminds me: I got this delightful poetry filk in the Yuletide fic exchange.

Yikes, Sara. Yes, retail therapy and swimming are good.
I bought tickets, through Living Social, to the Spy Museum in DC. I had glanced through the deal information and hadn't had an expiration date jump out at me. I figured March shouldn't be an issue, so I bought them. Today I got the deal certificates and they expire March 14th. About a week before we will be out there. Any DC-istas want them?
Took me a couple of hours, but I got the rent situation worked out. I wasn't able to get them to remove all the fees, but they did cut some of them. I'm most upset that this got termed NSF when that wasn't the issue. The money was there, just not accessable through electronic transfer. Their system accepted the account information, so I assumed all was ok. Grrrrrrrr.

I really hope I don't have to spend the next year feeding safestores UDOs into jukeboxes to restore the entire HST, Kepler, FUSE and countless other mission's data to new hardware.
That's worst case.
