I had to submit medical stuff to work today. So did this other guy. Unbelievable.
The bills. He told me groups of people walked to his room.
One wiggled his toe and said, "How ya doin?" Charged him 700 bucks.

Pulled every picture off the other G4 drive last night, and everything that was missing in the photo libraries on the Tower is still missing so whatever went wrong obviously occurred long before the upgrade to OS X El Capitan! My tech says we took everything still existing in every format so there are no other images hiding on any of my computers and I must pursue other avenues to retrieve any I can.
What the hell? As if they don't charge enough for everything else in the first place?!
I'm mad because I blew the Jeopardy test. Mad at myself.

Did you do it on-lineÉ
(sorry - question mark on my keyboard thinks it is a capital e with an accent)
Yes. They do online tests once a year. I did the in-person test twice. Once I didn't pass, once I did and played a "sample" game. Guess I didn't do well on that. I do tend to choke up under pressure...

Much extra work after the computer Photo Library disaster was occasioned because I was too cheap to save camera memory sticks, too nervous to burn CDs myself, and simply didn't think of sending out to have CDs made professionally before reusing memory sticks. (The CDs mentioned below were made by family and friends.) Sent the following to my tech:
Also, I am going to reimport the CDs from 2008-2010, to the iPhoto library only (we can worry about the Photos Library later), for the following reasons. (Unless you think after doing everything listed below, I should reimport the entire iPhoto Library into the Photos Library, rather than just recovered photos--it would be simpler and then we could clean up duplicates from both libraries at the same time.)
--The duplicates situation can't get much worse and I'd rather have too many than too few.
--I don't know how far back the loss went when it occurred. Obviously the problem happened sometime after 2013 but could have affected earlier pictures, so a few which came from the CDs could have been skipped--remember it took everything out of the Tower iPhoto library when I went to put those from the G4 500 GB drive on!
--A window came up indicating some files weren't duplicated when I imported CDs before. If it happens again I want to get a screen shot to indicate how many. If I ever have time to mess with it I can compare information on the screen shot to files reimported from the G4 and see which if any pictures were skipped both times.
This is the next step. Following steps:
--Comb through three and a half years' worth of sent emails from both accounts looking for any with photo attachments.
--Compare pictures from special occasions during those three and a half years to Facebook albums and see how many shots are still missing after recovering as many as possible full resolution versions.
--Learn if anything can be done to improve photos reduced to Facebook quality, if indeed quality on recent items was lost--I saw an item dated 2010 indicating full resolution pictures could now be added, but perhaps there's some special setting to do this of which I was unaware? Also, I see no way to check Facebook photos for what resolution they are and then compare to still-existing photos on the computer.

I didn't know where to put this, but wtf?
Shepard Smith’s Doomsday Hurricane Matthew Prediction: ‘You and Everyone You Know Are Dead’
Shepard Smith’s Doomsday Hurricane Matthew Prediction: ‘You and Everyone You Know Are Dead’
I had to dismiss a client a while ago. I may have mentioned it here, I can't remember.
Long story short, this was a guy that I've known for a long time. He was friends with my brother, and I had even went on a few dates with him when I was in my early twenties....it was nothing special....I considered him a friend.
He had fallen on some really difficult financial times a few years ago, and I gave him haircuts for half price to help him out. When he got his hair cut in August, I charged him the usual ten dollars.....he acts surprised and asked if I had raised my prices. I felt horrible embarrassed and insulted at the same time, but I just let it go.
Then he replies to a post I had made on my facebook page...the one I use for business networking.... where I had asked my friends to like the post, and I'd tell them how we met, my favorite things about them, etc......he said "Don't tell everything, because this is a PG rated site"......Now, THAT pissed off royally. I felt that his comment was extremely rude and highly inappropriate, but I simply deleted the entire post, and went on my merry way.
He got his hair cut a few weeks ago, and after inquiring about the price again, he had the gall to ask me if I would cut his hair at home if he promised to refrain from grabbing my breast.......
That did it.....It was all I could do to maintain a level of acceptable professional composure and not cuss out loud in front of the entire salon. I've blocked him from all my social media, our manager knows I will refuse to cut his hair.....now he amazingly got hold of my cell phone number...... luckily, my carrier allows us to block unwanted callers.
Okay, good vent......

What an idiot to say a thing like that.
...sounds like you need an extra sharpened stick.....what a creepadoucheazoid......
send him off the roof...dress him like a creepy clown.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Avoid the creep and just let it go - not worth the aggravation.
Devil's advocate here. His method was not professional by any means. Weatherpeople take on the responsibility to warn the public. Just think what might have happened if Matthew had not moved east, or moved a tad west, as predicted. Catastrophe comes to mind. Many who now live in Fl - either coast, have never experienced a hurricane. Many millennials think it is fun to be in a hurricane. Something new to experience in their life. Can one image 140 mph winds on top you? Thankfully, this did not happen. Still, with the storm just off the coast there is significant damage, and there is more coastline farther north yet to experience the effects of Matthew.
Now a degree of complacency will happen. Oh it wasn't as bad as they said.
My local guy took the responsibility factor in a different direction. He explained what a 9-11 foot tidal surge could do. What could happen if it took a different path. He was strong in his wording and plead to get out now. Finally he said-- if you do evac, and I was wrong with my concerns for your life- so be it, go ahead and FB me, tweet, whatever. Call me out. But remember that you are alive to do just that!
Warnings are necessary, just not the degree that that weatherman stated them. Just my opinion.
Couldn't agree more. There was a huge storm moving towards NYC in late August of 2011 and it turned out to be not so bad. In 2012, when Sandy hit us, there were ample warnings, that people ignored and then, as a result, paid with their lives. The storm surge stopped about half a block away from our house. People drowned in their own houses just blocks away from us. My friends fled from the surge waist deep in water with their 4-months old kid. This is not a joke - if they say evacuate, you f*^%&ng evacuate. You'll laugh at it afterwards, but you'll live to tell the story.
