The NAS RAID server where I keep our music, pictures, semi-weekly backups and Quicken data, is dead. Three weeks ago, I replaced the four drives in it - because they were starting to flake out - with three brand new drives. Right now, it's looking like at least two of those new drives died at the same time. FUWD. Luckily, I have a full backup from a few weeks ago. Unluckily, I have nowhere to put it.

The site here is still exceeding my ISP's usage limits, and I'm completely stumped on how to fix the problem. I'm starting to suspect that this really is a WordPress issue, since the date of my last WP upgrade happens to perfectly coincide with the day the problem started. FUWP.

My managers are about to chop my head off over a piece of software that is taking longer to finish than they told me it would (they reduced the initial four month window to four weeks and then didn't tell me about the change for a week). This is compounded by the fact that this software has to be tested and certified by a government agency, and that testing and certification takes two weeks per round. And, the agency does not answer my emails. And they give me conflicting answers. And the documentation is skimpy, ambiguous and disorganized.

Days like this, I just want to get in my car and drive. Except it's 100 fucking degrees out.
