Punzi's Corner Blog: Waaaaaahhhhhhh!

Thursday, December 22, 2005
This day in history from:

Waaaaaahhhhhhh!

This day taught me a simple rule: Obey and trust your iMac.

Lindsay told me not to disconnect my iPod while updating. I disobeyed. Not only did I disconnect my iPod, but I also forced Lindsay into a hardware reset, because I thought iTunes already hung.

I was wrong. So what was my punishment?

Nothing much. My iTunes library file got damaged so when I synched my iPod again to it, I grew pale when I discovered that I lost 5/6 of my songs and all my video. And all this hapenned when I was just about to leave the house.

Had to manually reload my uploaded music files to the new library file and re-download some of the podcasts. That took a good hour and a half--an hour and a half I did not have.

So I was late for a friend's holiday party. But it was alright.

And it appears that I still have to work tomorrow. Something urgent came up in my government consultancy.

Oh and I am officially the first blogger to receive the La Vida Lawyer Coffee Mug, according to him.

Anyway, a good thing came up today. I think the die has been cast. My career will take a significant turn next year. It is, more or less, a done deal.

I hope it is for the better. Wish me luck.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
