It's 87 fucking degrees F here in mid-April. This summer is going to be hellish.
I realize we live in different parts of the country, but I had the same thought. Hot spring is not on!
Just call me the computer whisperer.

I was looking through an error log and saw this line: SendVisitorToAllChildren (Visitor visitor)
That's not ominous.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
For first class passengers?
Oh, well, no. I'm just a commoner.

That's a "the computers are coming to kill us" sci-fi movie waiting to happen.

Just lost the whole afternoon's worth of work because I answered the question the IT guy asked me, as opposed to telling him what he actually needed to know (because I didn't know what he needed to know). He deleted the folder containing the proof I was working on, I didn't realize it, and now he can't get it back. FUCK.

And of course he acted like it was my fault. "Where do your files go when you download them?" is not the same question as "Are there any files in THIS folder that you might need before I delete it forever?"

Oh yes ... we have a shared drive for my office network and I'm chronically in trouble because I keep most of my work on an external hard drive connected to my computer. The fact that files - and entire folders - keep disappearing doesn't seem to be sufficient justification for doing so. (For instance, I work for an association that sells contract forms ... and last summer the folder containing the files disappeared. Twice. Now people complain that it's locked (except for a few of us) and they can't add/move/delete files.)

Yeah, I normally keep all my work externally. Today was an exception because they upgraded the software over the weekend and nothing was working right, and I hadn't changed my default checkout directory to my usual non-shared folder. Which, granted, is on me, but I didn't know he was deleting the folders in which resided my work until it was too late. But whatever. It didn't take as long to re-do it as I feared. Moving on.
