Thanks, glatt. I'm sure everything will be fine. I just get antsy the day before, in spite of knowing that the odds are in my favor.

Eta - and, sorry about grumbling over my son's photos. I was having a pity-party. Embarrassing.

Vague, hazy, and indistinct feelings of restlessness and foreboding.

My G-son, Sam, is at the top of the eligibility list for a new job with ODFW.
He got a call this morning
- the State has declared a state-wide hiring freeze.
- but they said he would remain at the top of the list

Nothing in the news yet, but it seems strange at this time of Oregon's fiscal year.

last night I rolled over a big ass deer with my car and I tore the muffler away from the cat and then dragged along the ground for a while fucking up more shit as it rolled along.

Nice.

Talked to the ins. co. and they'll come see it tomorrow or the next day. $200 deductible.

I'm pretty sure they'll cover it.

Did you get to keep the deer?

footfootfoot · 12-19-2013, 01:20 PM

Between whoever hit it first and me rolling over it, I didn't want it. Someone else did though. It was gone this morning.

F3 Your post of vague, hazy, and indistinct feelings of restlessness and foreboding took 13 days to manifest ...wooo scary...

Griff · 12-19-2013, 08:02 PM

I thought the insurance company got to keep the deer?

Lamplighter · 12-19-2013, 08:56 PM

I've been working with my new Mac and trying out new financial software.
This involved moving files from my old Mac to an external drive
and then onto the new Mac.
In testing the software, I've moved various files into the Trash.

Well, since a few of these files held financial and personal data,
I decided to do an (irreversible) "Secure Empty Trash" deletion.

To my terror, an Alert window came up saying it was deleting 26,828 files

That was 3 hours ago... there are still 4,000 to go

DanaC · 12-20-2013, 04:50 AM

Hahahahaha. Ouch. Yeah, that'll take a while.

glatt · 12-21-2013, 07:11 AM

Uh oh. The boy is puking this morning.

I'm dreaming of a stomach virus Christmas...

House guest (MIL) due to arrive tomorrow and sleep in his room, and him on our floor. May need to rethink this.

Bad timing.

Around here its been running about 24 hours. Am trying Cream of Rice now.

Yes, I get those constantly. They start when I get up and stop when I go to sleep. Otherwise known as 'life' in my case, I'm sorry to say.

Uh oh ... sorry to hear this. GI viruses survive on surfaces, so it's probably best to leave your son where he is and find other quarters for MIL. If you're fanatical about disinfecting surfaces and hand washing, you may contain it. Hand sanitizers work best for viruses.

I hope the rest of you escape it.
