Finished! but bookmarked...

Absolutely exhausted. Set some goals - utterly failed to meet them this month. My mum, who looks after my daughter while I'm at work, and generally, like some good angel, keeps my household running smoothly and cleanly, broke her arm on Thursday while trying not to land on my daughter as she (my mum) fell off a small step-stool. So she hasn't been able to do anything round the house, and I, as a consequence, am exhausted.

Work still leaves me feeling fairly incompetent. Since my husband assures me that I am, in fact, an extremely competent person, this leaves me feeling that I may be in the wrong job. I will begin investigations into alternatives tomorrow! I will. Also, if I didn't work in Pretoria, 55km from home, my Mom might have phoned me to come and take her to the doctor in the morning on Thursday, instead of waiting 'til 2pm when I get home, and lugging my daughter around with a broken arm. So I think I need to find a job nearer home. The twice-daily hour to ninety minute commute isn't doing much for my mental health, either.

The one thing that did make me happy today was retrieving my bookmarks in firefox after they mysteriously disappeared some days ago. Just posting this in case others have the same problem. For various reasons, I am running Gentoo Linux on my laptop at work. When I went to the bookmarks folder I got a whole lot of folders, all saying things like "java.string". Errgh. Then I discovered, to my great joy and delight, that Firefox keeps a limited set of backups of bookmarks. I found these in "/home/<myname>/.mozilla/firefox/inof0vpb.default/bookmarkbackups/". I'm assuming that "inof0vpb.default" is my profile name. I happily copied the last valid file to "/home/<myname>/.mozilla/firefox/inof0vpb.default/bookmarks.html", re-opened firefox, and voila! bookmarks back and one happy person!! :)
