Without the body, there is no crime

twicketfaceFor me, this weekend was what most aren't: productive AND fun. Marie and I visited my grandparents (minus my grandpa - who went with my uncle to 'the land' that he owns) on Saturday morning. My grandma rules, quite simply. We talked a lot about the happenings with my brother and she reiterated how proud she was of Marie and me and how much she loves it when we come to visit. We stopped at the bank to put some house paperwork and a back-up CD in our safe deposit box (which I always incorrectly refer to as 'safety deposit box') and made our way back home. Marie headed to Oshkosh for a stamping get together while I removed the rest of the wallpaper border in the spare bedroom.
Sunday was priming, which wasn't too bad. The midnight blue ceiling laughed at our feeble attempts to cover it, but after two coats it seemed to quiet down. I managed to stub four toes on two separate occasions, scrape the top of my foot on the bedframe and get primer in both of my eyes and my mouth (along with all over my face, arms and hair). My neck hurts from priming the ceiling and my arms are a little sore, but overall it's a good feeling.
Over the weekend our email server or files or something was moved from our local office to a storage warehouse in Illinois. We were told about this ahead of time and had basically nothing to do to prepare for it. I have an email account at work for myself as well as one strictly for resumes. My personal account went through the transition unscathed (other than 40 or so appointments that came back as declined due to a small glitch). My resume account, however, is gone. Well, it's still there (wherever there is), but everything I had stored in folders (divided out by position, location, level of hotness, etc.) is gone. 200 some resumes. Vanished. No longer there. Missing in inaction. I talked with our IT person and he said that he would look into it, but likely they are gone. They don't back-up email accounts (which is why I'm so liberal with what I send from my work account). I think that's why I like technology so much - when shit happens, you can just blame it on technology fuck-ups.
Presidential issue #24 - Politicians seeking re-election cannot campaign for said re-election. See, their success and failures during their tenure in office are their campaign. Spending millions of dollars telling the public the great things you accomplished is overkill. The money savings (and decline in career politicans) would be well worth it.
