leap day 2008
so i am in the studio this morning and all of a sudden i notice...

it's funny the posts that i made yesterday
about the studio
and technology
and having my computer right there
and how people picked up on it
and today
it's gone

yes, my laptop was stolen from my studio by someone working on my house

this is awful for so many reasons
the financial loss probably being the least of it
(since i have been hemorrhaging
money with this renvation for so long now, i am almost numb to that.)

but the thought that someone came in to my studio
(which is pretty sealed off to keep the dreaded dust out)
and stole something,
the thought that
this person is working on the house
is such a violation

and it's so hard to fathom
because we really like all the guys who work here
and to have to tell our contractor
was tough
because it is clear how much he trusts them

and the thought of having to rebuild the computer
get all those programs
all of that loaded
is such a drag
(thankfully i don't think i lost that much)

and the thought that if they stole it for their own use
they probably didn't realize it was password protected
and that the whole thing will have to be reformatted
and reloaded for them to use it
which is no small thing

but the thought that if anyone can crack my windows password
they have FULL access to every detail of my life...
all my passwords, account #'s etc.
this is pretty scary


so i smudged the room
