12/14/2024

I had fallen a day behind on the Advent Calendar, for which I felt really bad. To make up for it, today I made tickets to cover every day through Tuesday. Now, with just a week of tickets left to do, I can finally see the Christmas lights at the end of the tunnel. Whew!
Don’t you hate it when you receive a shipping box marked “Do No Open With a Sharp Instrument” but it’s so thoroughly webbed in tape that you have no choice but to use a sharp instrument to open it? Like really, how do the shipers think you’re going to manage it?
I was doing some Christmas shopping on my computer today. I had dozens of tabs open in my web browser. I took a short break to go to the grocery store. When I got back, Windows had done an update and all my tabs were gone. Hours of shopping down the tubes. 🙁
Also this week, after making hundreds of edits to the word list in my crossword generation program, the program spontaneously deleted over 15,000 words. There was no way to get them back. I had to revert to an older version of the list. Losing hundreds of edits hurt, but it was preferable to losing thousands of words.
The other day I wrote down something funny that Livia said. I don’t remember where I wrote it down, though, and now I can’t find it. Frustrating. I guess it was just that kind of week.
