Grumble

So after a chaotic week of bad weather and a sick kid, TT woke up this morning with a temperature of 101.2. Why couldn't she be sick last week when her twin was sick? And when her school closed down for 4 days because of bad weather? And when I was already working from home for most of the week? I expressly told her that she was not allowed to get sick this week. Dang kids never listen.

I really need to go to work today. I am still super busy, and last week's craziness didn't help. Hopefully my secretary will show up, so at least she can scan me everything I need to work from home. And turn my computer on, because I can't get in via logmein.* I have a lot to get done today and another big deadline on Wednesday.

Grumble.

*Tip o' the day: At DH's insistence, I finally signed up for Dropbox. It's basically web-based storage that allows you to access files from anywhere. I have it on my work computer, my laptop and my iphone. It has been really nice while I've been working from home--much more convenient than emailing myself all of the documents that I have been working on. Logmein is too slow to work directly in the docs on my work computer (not to mention that the shortcut keys on my PC laptop don't work on my Mac at work), but I can log in, move the files I need to dropbox, and then access them on my laptop at home.

I do have some concerns about putting client files "on the cloud," but DH pointed out that it is no less secure than emailing the docs to myself. Still, I don't think I would use this method with anything that was really sensitive. I only use it for pleadings and discovery drafts that will be public record soon enough anyway.
