She lives! [computers]
Monday looked like:
Get up, go to work and prep to teach, teach, busy office hours with spillover time, prep for Tuesday lab, gulp down dinner, teach Bicycling students how to change a tire, hustle to a rowing meeting, leave work at 8:45 pm and ride home while being serenaded by my Grandma Bedtime alarm.
Tuesday looked like:
Get up early to get to work by 7:15 am (leave home 6:30, so get up 5:25), finish remaining lab prep, teach lab 1 from 8:30 - 11:30, make important rowing phone call, lunch, then teach lab 2 from 1:30 - 5:30, clean up some and gulp down dinner, then have a Board meeting from 6 - 8:20 pm, leaving work at 8:30 pm.
I believe this is what people refer to as "overscheduled."
So only just now did I have the time and wits to plug in Amber, the MacBook's SSD, to the work Mac, now that I have what seems to be the correct SSD case and connector.
Immediately upon empluggening, I got a prompt for Amber's password, and was then able to browse through the contents of the hard drive.
It feels a bit like getting my brain back, except at this point I have too many instances of too many things, between the Time Machine drive, work computer, and Beryl the new Ubuntu-machine.
That's what happens when one is in a hurry, I suppose.
I tried to
Instead it's time to work on a manuscript review that's a week overdue.
I don't like burning candles in this many places at once.

rsync -r between Amber and a Time Machine directory I'd transferred onto the work computer, but the rsync doesn't seem to have looked too deeply and I don't have the brain capacity right now to think about how to restructure that command/process right.Instead it's time to work on a manuscript review that's a week overdue.
