a long day

it's approaching 1am, after a long day spent backing up windows, installing ubuntu and battling with each and every installer along the way i finally have a functional machine (i'm actually very impressed so far with running windows on a VM, even if getting vmware installed almost pushed me to switch back to windows.

gd gave me a talk today about facing off with my issues with my father's memory, i wouldn't even know where to begin but i am certain that i'm not dealing with All The Things in a healthy manner, and i'm reminded of something profoundly true and painfully apt: "If You Don't Heal What Hurt You, You'll Bleed on People Who Didn't Cut You".

the end of the work week was alright, i guess.

though we learned that the missing documents really are missing - the idiot from SecureShip hadn't been looking for the documents, and was reporting on an entirely different package and wasting everyone's time (and money).
