This week I have faced the highs and lows of the way we work and communicate.
The low......
I had to do some work at home this week-end. I brought home my laptop and hooked it up to my extra monitor. I even figured out how to have both screens with different info. I spent hours working on a project for work. I know I hit the save button.....I know I did.....I am absolutely sure I did.......I think......
When I went back to open the report and the spreadsheet.....all my notes were gone. I will admit I started to cry....all those hours of work ......gone. I got myself together and tried to re-create the wheel. It took about 1 1/2 hours and I was lucky that I had copies of e-mails I had sent.....so once again I finished and I saved it to my desktop, my file, my e-mail and anyplace else I could. The one good thing is that I checked it while I was at home and I didn't find out about it after I arrived at the office this morning.
The high.....
My cousin set up a family site on Facebook. He started it last week and it already has almost 90 members. I have reconnected with cousins I haven't seen in years and am getting to know their children too. People are posting pictures and sharing memories. There is even talk of a reunion next year!!!!
I definitely experienced the good and bad of having a computer.......
Thank goodness there is an auto save on this blog site or you might have missed some great entries!!!!
