i was shopping today at the thrift store, buying clothes that were both decent and warm to wear on my trip to the inaugural today, and my wallet was stolen out of my coat pocket. all my keys were attached to it, so all my id, keys, everything is all gone. looked all over the store to see if it was dumped on the floor, but nothing. luckily, my daughter was home as was able to both bring me spare car keys, and bring me cash so that i could buy the clothes that i had spent so much time and ATTENTION picking out. the car key is one of those tweety things, and is $180 to replace. wallet had $200 in cash. not too much in the way of cards, just a couple of debit cards, and my drivers license. but i am traveling to dc on sunday, and need to get a new drivers license fast. i was consoling myself that i have all the stuff i will need to do that in my little safe in my closet. but guess where is the only key to the safe? with the gone keys. gonna dig through some stuff and see if the other key that came with it is somewhere. but i got a feeling me and my angle grinder have a job to do.
and i got a call from the data recovery guys, who i was prepared to give my first born, to recover the data from a year and a half of work that was on my disc drive that died before christmas. there was stuff that i just can not replace. a lot of work. no, it was not backed up. they said, no go. the head failed and scraped up the platter, and there was nothing to recover.
oh happy day. tuesday, just gotta keep thinking about tuesday.
