more not happies than happies
It's bloody hot. Like 104 yesterday. Why does summer have to finally arrive just as it's nearly September?
The Royals lost embarrassingly to the Yankees, 8-1. Gak gak gak.
When I got back from England I discovered that a couple flashdrives were missing from work including the one with all our old Wills and Trusts (pre having a large enough harddrive to hold them all). They'd been on 3 1/2 inch disks and about six years ago an intern transferred them all. We still have the disks. No flashdrive. So I bought a 3 1/2 inch disk drive reader and finally hooked it up yesterday. Almost every disk I put in said it was empty. One had one directory (should have been five). So I figured it was the machine since reviews had been spotty.
I took the disks home. My desk top doesn't have a 3 1/2 inch drive. *sigh* The Windows 2000 one downstairs doesn't seem to work. So I dragged my Win 95 computer out of the closet in the storage room, hooked it up to my current monitor, found the old keyboard, could not find a compatible mouse, and turned it on.
Oh look at the pretty Spike and Dru in China wallpaper. *g*
OMG how did we live without mice?????
The disks were still empty. (This was all moot because the computer was so old it had no idea what the flashdrive I'd stuck in one of the TWO usb ports was). All I can think of is that the intern MOVED the files rather than copying them. We have some back up disks so I'm going to try again with the 3 1/2 inch disk reader. I dunno. They may just be gone. In 95% of the cases it's not a big deal as they're just unsigned copies. But if someone loses their trust, we'd have to start over now, and it's nice to have the info about how the trust is styled if you're doing an amendment or something. Well if people want to do that, they'll have to provide me with a physical copy of the part that needs amending. Unless they're on these disks.
There's a vigil for the young man killed in Ferguson, MO on Thursday night that our choir's been asked to sing at but I am just not in the mood.
Other attorney was supposed to be in KC all day for a deposition and I was going to watch Haven and Under the Dome and it was cancelled and he's here. :P I have two things left to do before boss gets back--go through a stack of papers that are really old and get rid of most of them and do the disk checking/copying.
Maybe I'll write.
Last night's happy was that I did get about 1000 words written on my Derek/Stiles big bang. I really need to figure out where to take this story and wrap it up in about 7000 words. Considering they've just fallen asleep their first night together... Do not have time for monster fic!
Also, Ian (Peter) was on Wolf Watch being all adorable and evil. :)
I just realized dad is coming over in ten days which means I really need to clean my house. :P I guess I'll do some of it this weekend. There's also supposedly a worship team retreat on Sunday but I've heard nothing about it. I'd really love to just hibernate in my house the whole three day weekend and write and watch college football.
Well, better check out these disks.
Oh, one more thing. I was going to blame AO3 for highlighting words and making them mouse over ads but it's here at LJ too. It's Firefox. It must be a newer version here at work because I don't have this crap at home. Anyone else getting them? They're on almost every site.
(Funny, at tvguide.com on an article about an Omen sequel tv show--Damian's life as a grown up? He's Sam Neill...and/or plays a integral role in the Laure/Darry story--anyway, there's an ad if you mouse over antichrist...)
