how to cause a heart attack
Nov. 16th, 2005 07:12 pmDay 16 of NaNoWriMo.
Shut down your computer and restart it. Sit down, ready to work on your NaNoWriMo novel. You know, the one you're about 50% of the way through with. Forget you've been saving in the directory that is backed up everynight off site. Believe it's on your own hard drive. Believe it's somehow been lost and you can't find it.
How to avoid the heart attack:
1) Be married to a computer scientist, and know if you need him to, he can find it.
2) Do a search on the title and find it.
3) Have an aha! duh moment where you remember where you've been saving it for the past month.
Duh.
I R Smrt.
