I'm still waiting for a cord from the OEM as a final troubleshooting step before I attempt data recovery with someone. In the meantime I've lost all of my scrapbooking files except the 10 or so kits I was currently working on for my CTs and the CU files I've purchased from Royanna. I've also lost all of my full res LO files, my notepads for credits, and all photos from Mother's Day of last year to Dec 31. My 2009 photos were all duplicated on my laptop, and all photos prior to then were also on my 230GB EHD. It's the same old story you've heard before... I've been meaning to take the time to backup for about 2 months, but just never found the extra time. And really, the only way to backup for me is burning to DVD which is SOOOO tedious.
In any case, I'm looking into investing in 2 - 1TB EHDs each with 6 year warranties so 1 can be my everyday use, and the other my data backup. I mean, honestly, I download/create somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-5GB per week so anything smaller would be pointless. The drive that died had somewhere between 200 & 400 GB on it. I haven't given up that it is recoverable, but I can't hold high hopes either.
I have some LOs to share with linked credits. The thumbnails were all uploaded online prior to the EHD dying...

I have 2 others I finished yesterday, but I can't share them 'til Wednesday night because they are for a gorgeous new kit Jana's got coming into the store called Fresh Mango Summer. ;)
Micaila's only got 2.5 more days of school. It's a little hard to think she's made it all the way through her first year of school. She's excited to be done, but I know she'll be just as excited to return in the fall. :) Hope we can stay in touch with some of her friends over the summer...
Mike's in training for the new contract he'll be helping to manage. That will last for at least another 4 weeks, and he can't take any time off for the first 3-4 weeks on the floor either so the vacation in July to LI is going to have to be post-poned. Good thing I sent him for Memorial Day weekend...
Brenden's... well, Brenden. LOL On Saturday he'd spent the night at Aunt Nora's so she dropped him off to me at 2 just before I left. Once in the van he announces that HE wants to pick Micaila up from her birthday party 'cause he wants to see what/who is there. I responded with, "Of course you do... you have nose trouble." A few moments later I hear, "It's ok, mom. I brought tissues." I swear I didn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. That kid can be such a trip - when he's not being a complete p.i.t.a.
We're gearing up senior season at work, and the sessions are more steady now. But, they are still sparse enough that I'm keeping up with the boss even with the additional stuff I'm creating for the proof books. We managed to upgrade the pcs so they process faster as well as updating the proof action for CS3 and the proofbook building program so the process is a little faster. Hoping this week goes a little faster 'cause the tension is giving me ehadaches through the day. We've been just the boss, my co-worker, and the boss's son, Derek since January when the boss's other son, Dalton went back to college.
Well, Dalton's back for the summer for an internship which he's supposedly working 40 hrs per week for - mind you he hasn't even hit 20 hrs for ANY week yet (and this past week included his lunch hour for at least one of the days in his hours). And, his attitude... it's like he's the boss, and we should all bow to him. He gets pissy if he's given grunt work. When he gets onto one of the 2 primary pcs we need to do work he'll start surfing the net, and then complain he hasn't finished the work when his dad tries to get him off so one of us can finish our work. I don't know what the deal is, but I've felt physically ill at least 3 days in the last 2 weeks before noon from the tension and had headaches at least 5 of those days.
And, with that being said, I'm running late! Thanks for stopping by and "listening" to me b*tch. LOL Have a great day!
:)
