AARGH!

Somehow, the document that I've been working on for the entire week for work has gone poof. It's NO WHERE. I didn't change it's name, but even if I had, I've checked every possible file! And the fucking thing is just gone! On neither hard drive! Not in the recycle bin! WHAT THE FUCK?

I just had to rant. Right after backing up my writing, cause if that got eaten I would cry.

(now that I'm done ranting, I should clarify that this isn't actually a big deal. What's taken time was gathering the data to put in that document, and I still have all of that data, so it won't take much time at all to fix. But it's still damned annoying. :) )

Rage! Hope your writing was OK. Perhaps run a virus check on your computer, just in case?

Good Luck!

Consider it a gift from the universe: it reminded you to back up the stuff that would be harder to fix.

Aurgh... I hate it when that happens. ): I hope it decides to turn up.

You bet your ass that file is still floating around on your machine, especially if it was created on any Microsoft Office Suite package. The real question to ask is "will it take more time to get Microsoft to give me back my shit than it will take to just make the document again?"

Good luck babe

Precisely. I decided to just redo it, I got it back in shape in less than an hour, so it all worked out.

Life goes on. Now that I've recreated it, I'm sure it will. ;)

That's kind of what I was thinking, and why the very first thing I did was back up the novel - I hadn't backed it up in about 20k words.

I think it runs regular virus checks, but I'm not sure, because it's in Japanese. :)
