queenoftheskiesThere must be a way. Right?
For now, I've given myself permission to feel sorry for myself for an hour. So, feel free to ignore this self-indulgent post. After that, it's business as usual.
I went to pick up my paycheck today. Difficult drive. Lots of obstacles and...stuff.
When I got my check, I almost cried. The Trustee had given me a bonus for getting information done quickly when they moved the auction up by ten days. The stupid agency had combined it with my two days of pay for last week and it had thrown the total into a higher tax bracket. They took out $440 MORE in Federal taxes than they should have. I was so distraught I didn't even check the state taxes.
On the way home, a truck dropped something off the back and cracked the windshield of my car. Sob!
Then I got to the bank, and they told me they were going to put a ten day hold on my deposit because they didn't recognize the party that had made it out to me. I've only been depositing these checks since June!!!
Then, I got paperwork from EDD saying they're going to take two weeks to decide whether or not to give me unempoyment for this past week that I was without work.
Then, I turned on my computer and...guess what??? If you guessed problems, you're RIGHT! What kind of problems? Looks like someone got through my firewall and disabled some stuff. How much damage is here? Don't know. I'm running a couple of things now to see if I can find out.
I cannot however, access the internet at all on my beautiful computer. :(
I haven't even had the nerve yet to determine if I've lost any data. With the kind of day I've had, I'm afraid everything is gone. My sister,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
devinharris has backups of Ancient Secrets complete and my Beyond the Darkness from last night, but I don't know about anything else. I made a backup about a month ago, and most of what I've written have been on these two novels since then. I might have one or two other things I've written on, but send my sister my daily progress, so I hope I can piece them back together if they're gone.
Sigh...thank heavens for my laptop. She's not as powerful, but she still works. (And, I love her dearly.)
I think the blood pressure is having a heyday today. I hope he weekend is better.
I'll try not to be such a bummer next post. Just have to get it all out, you know?
