Jacked

The laptop that I use every day at work, which belongs to the U of O and contains everything job-related that I do, in addition to all of our archived organizational documents, was stolen on Monday.

From a parked locked car at a trailhead when I was only gone for about 30 minutes.

Yeah.

Painful lessons learned:

* NEVER EVER EVER LEAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR CAR AT A TRAILHEAD EVER. EVER. I knew this, but now I KNOW it.

* Back up your files weekly. Not monthly, not yearly, WEEKLY.

* The show must go on. Projects don't stop for you to feel bad about your misfortune.

Needless to say, things may be even slower around here for a while.
