So, a few years ago, Yom Kippur was coming up and I really needed to ask forgiveness of a Gentile friend who I had failed a couple times that year, and even though the friend hadn’t mentioned it, it had been eating at me. This friend didn’t really know anything about Judaism.
So I contacted him, by email, (we were in different countries at this time) and I said “I know that I failed you with [thing], and I just want to say how sorry I am. I will try to fix it in the future. If I have done anything else that may have harmed you at any time in the past, knowingly or unknowingly, I am truly sorry. I ask that you will forgive me. I hope that you will accept my apology. Please let me know before 3 days from now.”
My friend promptly responded with the following: “Are you dying????”
The Moral of the Story: explain what Yom Kippur is to your gentile friends.
That last backup reminder did at least prompt me to go ahead and try to find out what’s going on with my apparently stalled WordPress import. (Of this pretty large blog. The two much smaller sideblogs did finish OK, to their own separate sites.)
But yeah, they’re still pretty overloaded checking the support forums a little while ago. Lots of queries about apparently stalled imports from here. A lot of which are just still queued.
I did end up splurging on a space upgrade out of stubbornness, so I could have used the premium support. But, I really hate live chats. I guess that’s still an option if posting to the support forum doesn’t get a response before too long.
I wish I had gone ahead and run a Python script backup before the 17th, but that probably requires getting Mr. C to do it since I don’t have a working computer right now. (Or admin status on his laptop that I use sometimes, in case it needs the relevant version of Python or whatever. Easier just to get the household professional geek to mess with it anyway, honestly.)
Should probably do that ASAP anyway, hassle or not, especially since my confidence in WordPress imports is not that high atm.
I also really should get another working laptop of my own, cheap or not. But that’s another issue.
Points to their support team, at least. It only took about an hour to get a response. Pleasant surprise.
The importer is now running again. *fingers crossed*
I have an update on this lil dude apparently he has now been permanently banned from leaving his house because he walked his ass down to the train station got on a train and spend the day hanging out in a caffe a few suburbs over
They tracked the person down and it turned out to be a woman from Scotland whose baby *really* loved Bee Movie to the point that it was the only thing that stopped him crying. So she just played it over and over. The endurance. She must have been exhausted.
