Damn technology

I've been struggling with my computer since I upgraded to Vista - then the main external hard drive where I store images, videos and stories has crashed. I have qualifications in data recovery but this one has resisted all reasonable attempts to coax it back and I've ended up having to accept that the majority of material that I've accumulated and written over the last 25 years has gone. I've recovered a few of my older stories from Usenet archives, however at one time I published on alt-sex-spanking a series of five stories called The New Society chronicling a girl getting into trouble at school, then with the law in an era when judicial corporal punishment has been reintroduced, and then the same girl ending up working at a state corporal punishment centre. I can only find two of the five parts so if anyone happens to have saved this anywhere I would appreciate getting the full saga back.

Working hard

I've just completed an international business trip with various colleagues from the UK and other parts of my organisation abroad. It's tough. Especially when you have to spend several days with a gorgeous young girl who age-wise could have been my daughter who spent a lot of time telling me of things she'd done at school that were very naughty and also a lot of time describing her school uniform.

I hate my job.
