One Step Forward One Step Back

[kristen999]

This is an odd tech failure. According to my saved files, I did not write anything last night. My conclusion chapter had a 'last modified date of April, 16th' and not April, 17th. I save my work every new paragraph and usually save it again to my flash drive. Of course the world stuck its tongue out at me an Eric had it over at a friend's house.

I ran a recovery program for any lost files and nothing was shown as being deleted yesterday. I ran search and only found the file from Monday.

So, despite saving the damn thing at least a dozen times as I wrote, all my progress from yesterday is lost. But I'd be damned on how Office ate it.

Ronon and John are not amused.

I checked other places, and my recent files are listed in order of last saved so if I accidentally did save it under something else or a different part of the computer--it would have been on the top. And sadly all that was there was my version on Monday.

I just wished I knew why. I'm re-writing now and will e-mail it to myself.
