Ah, fuck

It's deeply ironic that I just mentioned how nice it is that a Palm can be backed up to a computer. Because, well, I went in today to work in my half-cube (with a small bag of office supplies dedicated to making that half-cube more livable) and found that... that... the hard disk in my computer was slagged. Completely slagged, accoring to the IT department; slagged like 'it would cost thousands of dollars to get data off the platters now, and we don't usually do that.' Thank you, movers. I'm sure glad we paid you instead of letting us programmers carry our own computers across the hallway. So, I have a new box now, and I'm starting all over from scratch with installing all the things we need. Worse, though, I lost all my work journals (daily updates, spiked with useful information) that used to go back to July 12, 2004. I never backed them up on source control, even when I thought about doing so, because I thought they weren't worth it. But now that they're gone, and a lot of other 'just for me' notes besides, I feel lost. Worse yet, my whole team knows how freakin' stupid I was.

Between that, missing the bus this morning because it was on a holiday schedule, my plans to see friends tonight changing, my other friend standing me up last night... YARGH.

(Oh, and iTunes music store won't let me re-download the songs I had purchased, though it's more than willing to torment me by showing me my purchase history. Copying, okay. Re-downloading, not okay. So I guess I'm out some money as well as all the time it'll take me to re-burn my CDs.)
