Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Ugh, I've had such a long, frustrating week. And it's spilling over into my weekend, and I soooo need the mental break. So, so, so badly. I can barely even write coherent sentences anymore.
Today, I actually walked into the supermarket, filled my basket with fresh produce, and then forgot why I wanted to go there in the first place. That's where I am after this week.Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
My mom is stuck in stewertsville mn. She's out on the street and afraid and i have no way to help her and she's angry at me for that. She wants me to borrow money to come get her but that's a line i drew a long time ago and told her i would never cross. She needs to be responsible for her own actions but she's my mother and on the street. I don't know what to do anymore.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less.

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Apparently all the shelters in the Midwest are full. At least, every shelter in Rochester, Waterloo, and Cedar Rapids is full. Waverly, I guess, had a couple spots, but she doesn't know anybody out there and it would be hard for her to get stable. I finally agreed to take a bit off my credit card to help her get in a hotel for a week here and she found a ride back, but after that, she's going to have to take care of herself. She says she's been in contact with the assistance people but we'll see how that turns out.Originally posted by thalassa View Post
ETA: She's said she's been in contact with various assistance programs for the last 6 months trying to get out of this relationship she's been in and be independent and nothing has come of it. I really don't know what to do. There have been some allegations of drug use from various family members, she smokes (which I hate because she'll ask me for money while buying cigarettes), everyone says she's manipulating me, but I don't know where to draw the line between pushing her to take care of herself and the fact that she's family and we're supposed to take care of family.We are what we are.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
I have a piece due today. Nothing huge, but took me a good hour or so to write. I did it yesterday, but I wanted do the finishing touches today because I was tired and burnt out and I figured that it would be better to give my brain a bit of a break. Of course, my computer crashed. I can't get it started. I have another computer, but I'd already saved it to the one that doesn't start (and let's be real, who saves every little day-to-day thing on a stick or external?)Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
nope, I'm a rank amateur. I keep backups and in some cases, I keep many backups. By the end of the year, I will have more backups and I will have systems configured to back themselves up with no input from me but nope, if you want a back-up king then go find an organization where failure to have relevant data or an exceptional reason not to opens them up to prosecution. There's a difference in point of view between "I secure data because I can" and "I secure data because the Federal government will open up my bank account and start writing checks to itself with my money if I don't keep my data secure and intact". There's yet another pov for "I secure data because my paycheck is dependent on it." I am very much in the first category. I've worked with people who fall more into the third and I can find you sectors of the economy who fall into the second.Originally posted by anunitu View Post
The amount of backing up people do tends to be a mix of
1) how trusting they are in their computers
2) how much of a problem they're faced with if they lose data
businesses tend to do a lot of it because data tends to = money and because there tend to be record keeping requirements imposed by the government. The government tends to keep backups because it imposes record keeping requirements on itself for a variety of reasons (and IRS officials break said regs but that's for another day). Private citizens tend to keep backups based on their individual personality, technical skill and what they use their computers for. Well that or they keep backups because they use netbooks designed to save everything to a google or apple server instead of a hard drive.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
For the record, I do backups. I do them on a regular basis and I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS back up long term projects that take me a ton of time. But I do a lot of content writing that is high turnover and low paid. To be honest, I just churn it out, and that's what's expected of me. I don't back that up because on a 24-hour turnaround period, it's not even worth thinking about – usually.
Anyway, I got my computer started. This computer is kind of like an old car. Sometimes it just needs a bit of time and patience to get going.Comment
