If I'll ever get lost in a jungle, I want bt with me.

~ma, sumi.

Did she mean he was too good for you, or not good enough?

She meant I was too good for him. Now, let me guess. I turned it around?

Also one of my worst fears? Having my backpack stolen

I feel you.

I also learned a new fear last week. There was a fire a mile-mile and a half from my place in Haifa two days ago. They've stopped it, thank God, but I had two hours of stress when I found out about it (in my workplace in Tel Aviv) until they took over the fire. I'm expecting to return to a house full of smells of smoke on Monday. I was surprised about the priority of worries I've had: first was the books (and the lack of spreadsheet to remember what I have), second came the jeans I took from my sister, and last, important bills and receipts and papers.

Because really, in the end, apparently I care about my library more than I care about spending time with bureaucracy to get some papers back.

I'll take care of that spreadsheet ASAP.

Edit: smonster! Great to see you too! tucklehug

I'm just really, really glad my personal laptop wasn't in there. I would be devastated.

Back it up tonight.

My DH looked at your post, P-C, and was aghast: "Work computer?! Did it have PROPRIETARY INFORMATION on it?!"

He works in computer security, so that his worst nigthmare. (BTW, if you get a FB friend request from a D-- J-----n, that's him. I told him he should friend you, because I think you'd get on like a house afire. (But he's shy; I'll pester him.)

I am making a lemon bundt cake with a lemon glaze for his bday party tonight! YUM!

Happy Birthday to your DH, Strix!

Part of the reason that I've been setting up a server for my office is so that user accounts are now based on an open directory server with remote administration. At least this way if one of our laptops gets lost or stolen all the home directories are duplicated on the server in the office and I can issue a remote wipe command so that the next time the computer has an internet connection the user account will get blown away.

So much of my work is being done under NDAs and things like that. We currently have all the audio mix stems for a movie that isn't due to be released for a few months on the servers, so there would be hell to pay if that got out.

Okay, you have two really bad experiences with a business. Where do you go to leave the nasty reviews and warnings so they don't try to dupe other people?

I am so out of spoons. Yesterday was an awesome day but today is just every fucking thing going wrong and I don't have time to just sit and cry. I also don't have time to find every place to leave bad reviews but I'm taking that time anyway. That bad of a taste in my mouth. Figuratively. Wasted three hours today. I don't have three hours to waste.

Now I need to go buy boxes from where I know there is a UHaul because two addresses were already wrong today. And contact PODS because they possibly sent me paperwork they need tomorrow. Kinda impossible.

Yelp? Does Annie's List let you do that?

Oh yeah, I'm past due.

I am not that important, thankfully, so I think that should be okay.

Can you rig it to Tase the thief remotely? Then use GPS to find the thief and have the police collect them?
