Week 51

What Happened This Week

I felt like I lost “everything” when Google kicked me out and wouldn’t let me access my account. Well, no, it’s not like they won’t let me access it but the problem is – they couldn’t find it! My account was magically erased in their system! This meant that all the articles I’ve written, pictures, important emails are all GONE.

An hour later I was able to access it again. Later that day, I found out that they had a power outage that wouldn’t let anybody log in to their e-mail or YouTube account.

This semi-panic attack showed me how much I rely on technology (on Google). I entertained that thought of actually losing my account. I couldn’t imagine what that would be like. I’m aware I have to move on – but I also need to deal with the feeling of loss…again.

I screwed something up on my last day of work in 2020. It’s not the way I wanted to end things but man that sucks. I had to reach out to IT for help. If they can’t fix what I did then that means I have about 400 data entries that need to be fixed.

I need to improve on the way I use my Weekly Planner. Right now, I’m using it as a to-do list. But my intent is to be more precise – meaning, I have to put in the time I intend to the activity and specify how much time I need to accomplish it.

I updated the home page of my website 🙂
