a couple of things

I'm not feeling all that creative in terms of writing today... so here are just a couple of things that have been on my mind...

My latest art contract is proving to be quite lucrative...  it's really fun work and I seem to have more than a knack for digital re-design.  Keeping my fingers crossed that this is the start of really great things.

The other 'thing' is a scooby doo mystery of sorts.  Recently, I visited one of my old online haunts.  A friend had told me I must, for there were show recordings to see.  Strangely though, my password didn't work and I couldn't access the site.  It was quite frustrating, I KNEW what my password was, but it wouldn't work.  Weird.  After a couple of weeks of hitting the password reset request button and receiving no password reset emails, I finally talked to a friend who had administrative rights at the site.  Being the true champ that she is... she reset the darn thing for me.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my newly reset password, of which I had been quite careful to make note, no longer worked again a week later.  It was laughable really.  Password reset requests again went unanswered.  But then the REALLY weird part happened.  While visiting my neighbor, also a past member of the same organization, I mentioned my little mystery.

"You too?"  was the response.

I sat there for a moment... stunned.  Someone else had the same bizarre experience I was having?  I queried further.   Was he sure of the password?  Had he attempted password retrieval.  He had done likewise and experienced the same as I had.  I can understand why *I* might be on someone's poo of the week list as I have a way of blurting out exactly what I think.  But my friend?  no WAY.  There's never been a more friendly helpful person that I've ever met.  

Even more mysterious... friend who is currently involved with the group didn't seem the least bit surprised when I approached him with my quandary.  In fact, his comment of, "I was afraid of this."  really made my little antennae start to twitch.   One username and password later... I was finally able to view the recording my friend had wanted me to see.  But, the mystery still remains.   The message is pretty clear though, so I guess I take that particular non-profit off of my charitable donations list.
