susandennisI'm having coffee and a Danish while backing up my work laptop. I generally dump the goodies to an external hard drive every couple of days and then every few weeks do a back up to the back up. I'm all about the redundancy.
Today I have a set of 3 gynormous documents to wrap in XML code for Challenging Guy. It will take forfreakin ever and I told him that. The result will also never be used anywhere because as soon as someone with 1/2 a clue sees what he's had me do they will understand why the whole idea is one bad apple. Each of these three documents needs a half a summary page with a link to a pdf. The end. 30 mins tops. I pushed back as hard as I could - but he's firm. So... what the fuck it's all the same $ per hour to me and this just gives me more hours to get $ for.
So as soon as the backup to the backup finishes, I'm on it.
Otherwise, it's biz as usual here. It's still very strange not to have to worry about Mom's computer or Mom's TiVo or Mom's bank account or Mom. I have this little internal routine I go through about a half dozen times a day... I realize the reason why I don't need to do any of the Mom things and I'm sad and then I force myself to remember and be so grateful that she no longer has to fight for every breath. And I am.
Ooops backup is done. Time to make the donuts.
