Shit, sweetie.

Damnation!

You might want to start checking CraigsList; that's where most hot computers and cameras seem to end up nowadays.

Thank you for the excellent advice. Whether or not it works, the feeling that I can do something towards getting it back is comforting.

Oh shit, that's COLD.

Anything we can do to help?

Can we hire you for stuff?

[earlofgrey.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[transversecity.livejournal.com]

Ah. You know, I was just sobering up and in fact was preparing to write a short apology - in my drunken state, the thought process was: "Perhaps some financial assistance would be a practical and helpful response". On being somewhat more awake, if slightly overhung, I realize that my words may not have been very useful consolation.

And: I don't know - something within your skillset and easy range of feasibility, to help you get back some of the money.

[earlofgrey.livejournal.com]

No, I followed your reasoning. Let me know if there are any specific projects with which you need assistance? I'm versatile and a hard worker. If any of your projects strike my fancy I may take you up on that.

I will need a maintainer for www.wickedchocolatefactory.com in the days ahead. Can, if need be, arrange it so that no web coding knowledge is necessary. I need a certain amount of assistance in telling people about Wicked Faire. I may very well have some small art projects which need assistance, as well. I have relatively little money, but can probably trade useful amounts of money for feasible and sane chunks of time.

i'm so sorry.

it took a break-in when i was living in chicago to encourage me to be a lifelong proponent of renter's insurance. hopefully you were smarter about the timing of this than i was.

[earlofgrey.livejournal.com]

Nope. Oops. I've learned my lesson, though.

Oh shit, I'm sorry to hear that :(

what!? oh my god! at least you weren't home at the time...

[earlofgrey.livejournal.com]

This is very true. Theft is better than assault, rape, or murder by a vast margin. It's positively gentlemanly by compare.
