Small Nightmares of the Waking Variety
Been quite the busy little qat lately. Started back to school — online and around my variable work schedule — since I am obviously never going to climb past the “working VERY poor” category unless I get some papers to prove I am a good hiring bet.
Then the main hard drive for my ‘pewter died…
Not to worry! Son can fix computer and will let me borrow his laptop until my machine is functional again.
Reconstituted bookmarks and most passwords in between sessions of frantic typing to avoid falling behind in classes. Of course I suddenly had more work hours each week, too. And did I mention that the calendar was heading into the holiday season, too? So…oh well, sleep is overrated…
Son returned repaired ‘pewter. Oh boy, a new round of trying to remember passwords while still doing the work stuff, holiday stuff, and school stuff! Final week of class block approaching (along with the peak of holiday activities) and it’s time to stop rebuilding bookmarks and password lists in order to do the necessary research for those final projects.
WHAT!?! Why isn’t this search engine working right all of a sudden? It worked fine yesterday!
Rootkit. Ick. Much time and effort required to accomplish anything until the darn thing could be completely removed.
Okay…’pewter functional, if absent the former D: drive stuff; survived another holiday routine; work hours stabilizing, comparatively speaking; final projects begun and my brain needs a break from thinking that direction. Time to go to the blog before it shrivels up and disappears.
Two hours of fighting with password retrievals and tweaking unfamiliar hosting settings later, I have arrived–exhausted and totally blank regarding what I thought I would write about today. All that’s left is an old nursery rhyme that insists on playing over and over through my memory…
“I do not like thee, Dr. Fell.
The reason why, I cannot tell,
But this I know, and know full well:
I do not like thee, Dr. Fell.”
There may some deep, perhaps even profound, meaning to all this, but if there is, then I am unaware of what it might be. Maybe I’ll go take a nap…
