Today a file in a shared drive went missing. Randomly. I was able to have IT retrieve it, but still.

And this is why I needed the beer cart this week.

Shared files definitely have a down side. Sometimes, if it was a small file, I used to make a "ghost" file copy in my own drive -- just in case some fool made a huge error or accidentally deleted the file, from the shared drive. Not a fan of group projects in a shared file, unless you work with very competent people. So it just depended upon the project, and who else was involved. ;)

Yeah...for some reason we have a drive that everyone can access in the company...thankfully IT backs it up daily so we can retrieve stuff. 🤦

In T’s never ending assigned reports, he got a new one today... someone who influenced the world and inspired him in some way.

He chose Michael Jackson.
He just spent 5 minutes thinking of titles, and ideas... then he said - “You’re not allowed to worship a celebrity, so I hope my teacher doesn’t think I’ll sound that way. Michael Jackson isn’t Jesus, but he was kind of like Jesus. “

“T, he did a lot, but no, he can’t be compared to Jesus.”

“I know, mom. I just think he‘s a person who did a lot of stuff that Jesus wants us to do. I’m not worshiping him, just want people to know how much good he did, and how I think it’s pretty cool. Plus, his music is awesome. He changed the world, right?”


I thought this was such a strange thing for T to say, for multiple reasons... especially since he has no idea that MJ was always accused of having a “Messiah complex” while alive (probably did imho).
Anyway, this report should be interesting, and I’m glad my kid knows the difference between ‘worship’ and ‘respect/influenced by’.

Most kids will probably have Ghandi or MLK or mother Teresa, my kid’s report will be Michael Jackson.lol. I’m sure other people will have sports figures or something too though. I guess I can only blame myself for teaching him so much about Michael Jackson over the past couple years. Oh well.

Well, he is right on "kind of jesus".
He made people faint, some believed him over anything else.
That is technically some sort of worship.
Then the knowledge and sphere of influence he had.
There were more people who knew Michael Jackson AND Pele than Jesus for example..

We’ve watched The Jacksons’ tours and 2 MJ tours so far, on TV. T loves when they show people who faint.. he always says “There goes another one. We’re up to 5 now, I think we’ll get to 10.” 😂

His report is going to be more about MJ’s philanthropy, humanitarianism, and song messages... along with breaking barriers in the world. (T has also watched and read a lot about this stuff). He’s going to start with a basic outline tonight. They have 2 other reports they’re working on, so we’ll see how this goes. He has 2 weeks (almost, assigned today due next Friday) to complete it.

I’m trying to figure out how to let him do “research” on the internet without stumbling (glaringly) on the accusations. So far he doesn’t have a clue about them, due to my parental controls and not allowed to watch YouTube unless I do the search. I don’t really want him to see any of that right now. When you Google MJ’s name that’s one of the 1st things to pop up.

It's a drive everyone in the company has access to. It literally could have been anyone.

Our new team member pointed it out to me that it was missing. There's only three of us, and our boss was in a meeting, so by default he came to me. I was like, are you kidding me???

Then our new team member asked, "Has this happened before?" Yeah, no.

The good thing is because I was in IT, I've learned that the #1 rule of work is be nice to the IT people. They had it fixed in an hour because they take my tickets first. 😂
