Well, I got my computer working again. Trying to install the Verizon software didn't do any good, but doing a System Restore did. I have to remember to set more System Restore points, especially when I'm planning on unhooking my computer or messing with the settings. It doesn't always work (in fact, the first restore point I tried last night didn't work), but at least then I'd have more of a chance of fixing problems without going so far as doing a total reformat.
I had another weird dream last night. I'm not trying to turn this into some kind of dream journal, but I've been having some particularly memorable dreams as of late. In this one,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I were volunteering somewhere. We were stuffing envelopes, like we've done at WHYY, but I think the place where we were was a hospital or something. A lady was telling us we were doing a sloppy job, and I said, "Who gives a shit?" The lady didn't seem to care, but Beth got mad at me, and I got embarrassed and wanted to leave. When I tried to get out, though, I ended up falling into a mental ward, which was apparently impossible to escape. If I tried to go out through a door, another door appeared behind it. I eventually figured out the secret of the ward, which was that, even if you weren't crazy when you arrived there, you soon would BECOME that way. The people working at the gift shop seemed to support this conclusion.
Speaking of volunteering, I did cataloging at Longwood Gardens today. I hadn't done that in a while, so it was nice to get back to that. Also today, I went ahead and preordered the next two Fuzzy Warbles discs from Ape. I really don't know why those things are so expensive, but there was a discount for preordering both together, and I think that, even with the import charges, it came out to less than it would if I waited and ordered them from Amazon. (Of course, I don't really KNOW how much they'll be on Amazon, but they're selling all of the others for higher prices than the average price of the two I ordered, at least if the pounds-to-dollars converter I used was accurate, so it's likely that the new ones will also cost more there.)
