    My Name's Wayne, and I'm a doofus!

    Currently in the process of updating our company pricelist, and over a few days last week changed the prices of some 2800 odd items in the artwork.

    Saved it all on a USB to take home - make sure it's safe like.

    Someone asked if I had a USB they could borrow for 24 hours. Opened the folder on the USB I was going to lend and noticed that the price list artwork was on there too. Deleted it.

    Opened up the USB with the files I had been working on and saw "no files found".

    Yip, I'd deleted the wrong files!

    Ok, so I opened up the USB stick I was going to donate and noticed that it still had the pricelist artwork file I'd transferred across. Phew!

    Not quite. That artwork was old untouched and had the old prices on it.

    Guess what I'm doing now...

    Artwork has to be submitted to the printers tomorrow and I've a sales meeting tomorrow to prepare for, a presentation to prepare for a synergies meeting next week.

    Why do these things happen all at once?

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

    What would Vedder do?

    Oops doesn't quite cover it does it. Good luck with doing it all more quickly second time round.

    (I somehow 'wiped' the floppy disk where I had saved the book I had been typesetting many years ago - three weeks work down the drain)
    Happy Gardening,

        Aah, memory sticks.

        I did my whole team's 1/4ly reviews and saved the lot on mine; overwriting their last reviews and the whole stick failed. No files at all. No old reviews - no new reviews.

        Had to start the whole lot again - 17 of them....rewrite them and send them to the people to ask if they could check my understanding of their reviews.....nightmare and I stick to pen and paper now....when I can. Plus, don't have any staff anymore but that sinking feeling when all your hard work no longer exists.....

                I often wish I could temporarily grow extra arms for doubling the speed of doing such things! Good luck

                      Concentrates the mind wonderfully though, doesn't it?
