Achievement... Lost

The second worst thing that can happen to you on the Xbox happened to me this past week. I lost over an entire games worth of achievements. Now, the absolute worst thing to happen in the Xbox community, of course, is the red ring of death. Luckily I've never had to endure that horrible sight.

Doooom!!!!
The set up:
My good friend Mr. Kevin G. lives down in Chicago, and
I go down there now and again to be sure he has someone to nerd-out with. Here comes the problem, Kevin doesn't have a wifi-adaptor for his Xbox (seeing as to how they're like a hundred bucks!) so I lend him mine. While I was down there I redeemed my gamertag and played through Skate 3. When heading back to my hometown of Milwaukee I left the wifi-adaptor with Kevin so he could continue playing CoD. Now a week or so goes by and I come across a Gamestop gift card in my room left over from Christmas (best day EVER). This is when I picked up Dragon Age: Origins and experienced the amazingness that is the Dragon Age world.

The realization:
You may have already noticed the fatal mistake I've made, but as a hope to prevent this from happening to others I will continue. Another week or so goes by and my friend Connor comes back into town, and I barrow his wifi-adaptor to check out the DLCs and updates for DA: O. This is when all hell broke loss. In a flash all my achievements from over the past week plus were banished and replaced with those from my time in Chicago. Sad day, my score dropped by a couple hundred points.

What's to be done:
The only thing that can be done, play through Dragon Age again. Oh the horror.... not like I was already planing on doing that anyways.
