Back home...

[hmpf]

... and ready to dig myself out from under this mountain of guilt etc.

Unfortunately, my laptop just died. *Before* I could transfer three months worth of data back from it to my main computer, of course. That includes all my unanswered mail of the last three months, a significant source of guilt.

*sigh*

Hey.

... as a serial and guilty non-answerer of e-mail, think I should mention that having a legimate excuse to ignore three months of it sounds wonderful. Don't think you should feel guilty about something you can't do, no matter how guilty you may have felt while it was still there to be answered.

... not only do I not answer e-mail, LJ suffers too. Hello. :)

Hi! :-D

Yeah, see, it's not just about guilt, with the e-mails. I also genuinely don't remember a lot of social stuff very well, so not having my last three months worth of mail means having no way to check if there was any Important Stuff I May Have Forgotten About But Need to Take Care of Now.

Also, there's job-search-related stuff on there that's kinda important.

Thankfully (-hopefully!-) the hard disk may still work. Or at least it still makes a 'normal' noise. So it may be possible to extract it and plug it into my regular computer, with an adapter, and rescue the data.

Even so, it's highly annoying to lose my laptop now - I have no money to spare at all, and that probably will not change for a few years. So that means a few years without a laptop. Not nice.

I hear you about LJ, btw. I'm kind of an LJ zombie, too. Meaning, I'm barely alive, in LJ terms.

I think... the work e-mails, yeah... you *should* just be able to slot the hard drive from PC to PC. I've done it with a couple of mine, not too hard at all, truly. If I can do it, you can!

LJ... I can either write or LJ, but not both. I've been LJing for four days, and now I'm itching to write. That kind of equation. But I have been watching you and your page count and silently cheering you on. :D

Thanks!

Maybe your cheering is why I've been making fairly good progress, then. ;-)

Thankfully, LJ doesn't interfere with my writing. But RL interferes with my LJing. And RL as well as writing and other things all interfere with what's left of my social life. Arrgh.

And now you've made me want to go and write a bit. I love that story so much... But it's past midnight and I have to visit the job agency tomorrow morning. 'Have to' as in ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO, and DEFINITELY TOMORROW, YES. So I should probably call it a day.

Sorry 'bout the shouting.

That was me simulating Real Life's demanding voice. I hear it a lot, recently. ;-)
