I didn't have a printer until, oh, a month or so before the hard drive went south, maybe. (Okay, I had it longer but I hadn't actually, y'know, HOOKED IT UP.) Heh. What I really wasn't counting on was for OSX to change something in its email app so it won't read my imported emails -- well, it does, but with corruption. So I had to wave a sad goodbye, between importing and corruption and whatever else, and that meant I lost the backup (emails, that is) that went along with the master file (the spreadsheet).
If I printed everything out, I would be DROWNING. I try, oh how I try, to keep hardcopies of stuff but within a week it gets away from me. I've learned my lesson on that one -- and a difficulty like this is minor, believe me, compared to the mess & disorganized clutter I would have around me otherwise.
I'm not sure whether it'd be acceptable or not to note that after dire loss of records that although the story has been edited since last submission, that if it's a duplication... *bangs head on desk* I feel like a freaking idiot, even with semi-legit excuses. I just can't believe I didn't snag the folder with that file in it. Then again, I also lost 96gig of stuff for work, and another 14gig of woodworking research, so... one file is rather tiny comparatively. but still.
