Last night I started digging through old DVDs and CDs to try and recover some of the pictures I lost. As of right now I have about 15,000 of the 30,000 I figure are on that drive. That's the good news. The bad news is doing this dragged me down exactly the fucked up path I didn't want to go down. I started finding old documents, things we did together, receipts, etc - essentially a chronological bitch slap of the last 10 years. I knew I didn't want to do this. The upside is I did find one disc that had essentially 6,100 of the earliest pictures I wanted including my old Pontiac and pics of the kid from 7 and 8 years ago. THAT part was good. The rest of it? Like videos from our trip to the Bahamas? Yeah, not so much.
My new client is not so bad. I spent most of the day dealing with VPN issues and getting my laptop configured for their environment. The work is pretty straight forward. I did end up spending three hours on the road yesterday. I wish I could bill for that time, but unfortunately all I get to do is claim gas and bridge tolls. I will still come out about $100 a week ahead of what I am actually spending in gas and tolls, but I won't see that until the end of the quarter. That part sucks too.
So to sum up yesterday? A major suckfest. Tonight is some dinner thing for work where they want me to take head shots for the company marketing materials. Essentially another company event where I won't eat the food because it will be awful and now I have to actually work after working all day. Nice. I get to spend another three hours driving today too.
Fuck this.
