You don't fully realize how much you rely on email until you don't have it. I haven't been able to access my Gmail account since Saturday. The good news is, at least it wasn't hacked like I had feared. Here's a message from Google:
"Imagine the sinking feeling of logging in to your Gmail account and finding it empty. That’s what happened to 0.02% of Gmail users yesterday, and we’re very sorry. The good news is that email was never lost and we’ve restored access for many of those affected. Though it may take longer than we originally expected, we're making good progress and things should be back to normal for everyone soon."
Yes, I'm part of that 0.02%. Apparently there was a software bug that caused all this. And they've shut down my account while they're working on it, so I can't even log in. In case anyone has tried emailing me in the past few days, here's something else you should know:
"If you were affected by this issue, it’s important to note that email sent to you between 6:00 PM PST on February 27 and 2:00 PM PST on February 28 was likely not delivered to your mailbox, and the senders would have received a notification that their messages weren’t delivered."
*Sigh*
Sorry I don't have any fun pictures today. But I'll let you all in on a little secret....I recently got a bonus at work (yay!) and I'm planning on buying a new camera! So I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to post in the near future. :)
