Sanrio Stuff
My Sanrio Stuff:
Kuromi plushie, who somehow ended up at Dollar Tree. We bought her for a dollar.
Hello Kitty plush pouch keychain, which I got from Kawaii Box. It currently holds my chapstick.
Pompompurin plush keychain, which I also got from Kawaii Box.
Hello Kitty flash drive, which my parents found at a flea market for one dollar. It has four gigabytes. The flash drive no longer works.
Person: What's on that flashdrive?
Me, panicking: Uh, memes!
Person: Oh, ok! (Leaves)
Meanwhile the flashdrive actually contained a bunch of evidence of said person sexually harassing my friend group that I was going to turn in to the school's front office the next day.
It technically wasn't a lie since that dudes life is basically a meme.
I technically signed a non-disclosure form for that entire situation but I think that it was stupid to force me to sign one so I will be disregarding it.
PSA- TAKE YOUR FLASHDRIVE OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER
If you are not using your flashdrive to actively back things up- TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER! DO IT NOW! RIGHT. NOW.
Yesterday one of my flashdrives stopped working. My mom took it to our local computer guy to find out what was wrong with it and the guy said the the ONLY way that it could POSSIBLY (not definitely, POSSIBLY) be recovered is by sending it to a FORENSICS COMPANY that charges NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($950) as a flat rate for this service. IF the stuff can even be recovered.
The computer guy said that he has seen all types of flashdrives, no matter the quality, fail because people don't know that they need to take them out of their computers when they're not using them. A few of the things that can happen are the flashdrive can overheat or a virus could destroy it if your computer happens to pick up a virus.
I have thousands of pictures and videos on that flashdrive, precious, precious memories of kids I've worked with that I may never see again in my life and now I might have lost them because I didn't know to take my flashdrive out of my computer when I'm not using it. The cute pictures of my three new kittens I've been posting? On that flashdrive. Memories from holidays and birthdays and camping adventures might be lost forever.
TAKE. YOUR. FLASHDRIVE. OUT. OF. YOUR. COMPUTER!!!!!!
(please for the love of all that is good share this so other people don't have it happen too)
