One of the suggestions for discouraging theft is to mark or deface the equipment to prevent resale. I'm bedazzling the hell out of my new computer when I get one.
I drove to work for two days. This has reminded me how much I hate the commute. Traffic, rain, backups on the highway, parking, staying awake.. ugh. It's not like all those issues evaporate on transit, but most of them become someone else's problem. On the bus, I just have to put up with other people, and for once, I'm going to choose people.

Our office was broken into and our computers were stolen. I brought the laptop in during the week, hence the lack of updates. It's a tremendous nuisance, I've lost my more recent work and it feels like I have to re-create everything from scratch. Everything is more difficult than it has to be, and it wears.
And what am I supposed to do with this cloud of anger? I'm angry at myself for not being more diligent in backing up data, and not doing every possible paranoid thing to weld the computer to my desk. Then there's the anger that this is even necessary. There's the futile anger about the visibility of our office, a concern of ours from before it was built, and a source of daily annoyance. And the blind anger at whoever did this to us compounded with the remote chance that some kind of justice will take place.
I suppose no matter how low I set my opinion of humanity, it will never fail to disappoint me.

Maybe it's the weather, or that crowded buses are somehow more exhausting, but I'm falling asleep on the bus a lot more easily than I did in summer. Maybe it's because I've finished my escapist fiction and have moved on to a collection of Whitman. Or maybe it's all the comatose undegrads spreading sleep like contagion.
Pics!
Came up with a plan invovling Merit Badges at work. Spent ten minutes geeking out about it with co-workers. It's gonna be good.
