Most people who know me know that it takes a lot to set me off:)
But seriously, third virus in as many months, and no, I am not talking this annoying sinus cold that won't go away. And this last one, while it did not take down a hard drive, seriously caused damage. And that's trouble with a G, and that means Google.
Yes, the almighty Google may be going strong, but my account got taken out, along with my ability to get to my Google docs, where my shared-presentation for Friday, embedded in my shared-wiki, she says redundantly, resides.
Spent today, mopping up, emailing Mr. Google, setting up a new g-mail account, because of course I need one, and responding to all inquiries as to the reason for my hasty trip to Ghana, and money was on its way. Thanks to everyone, including my dad and my bank manager, for your concerns, and I'll be in touch with the off-shore banking numbers as soon as I can log back in.
But, all was not lost, because, there is a silver lining to this cloud. And mine, called by other names, is fondly known as Captain Backup.

Sorry that it happened, Barbara... but it was a good reminder for me (and everyone else) that I should take the steps to arrange backups of my Gmail (all 5000+ messages) and my GDocs to a local computer. And, as Tim mentioned, I've chosen a new, stronger password.
If it's any consolation, I would have sent the money! :)
