Yesterday afternoon I was checking on my website and realized that 17 pages of my content weren't showing up and were giving a "error 404" message."
That's 17 pages and dozens upon dozens of individual posts of my writing from August of 2009 to July of 2011, just totally not where they belonged. I started to panic as I urgently searched Google and was getting no real hint at a solution to my problem. I was beginning to believe that I was going to have a lot of work on my hands.
BUT I DIDN'T SMOKE.
Then my buddy who builds websites told me he had encountered a similar problem and the fix he had used worked for me and I was filled with joy.
Until I got a phone call from the building manager at my apartments telling me that there was another (yes, another) leak in the apartment below me and he would need to enter my place and turn off the water.
Last time there was a leak in the apartment below me, he and I were both obviously having bad days and it ended with a rather lengthy complaint of his behavior to my property manager and then a 10 day comply or vacate notice for the cats I had told him I now had in my apartment. Let's just say he's not the easiest dude to get along with and I was not looking forward to dealing with all that again. I quickly drove home.
BUT I DIDN'T SMOKE.
I met him in the elevator as he was heading for my apartment, he got in and out quickly and promised he would have my water back in about an hour so I returned to work. When I came home again he had taken care of the water AND fulfilled a current work order for my place.
I almost feel like the planet is rewarding me for butting up against these potential stressors and not actually picking up a butt.
I'll take it.
