    Pfft, I'm sitting here re-doing 4 hours of laser-cutting because a client changed her mind about a colour choice about two months ago, informing me in a single sentence in the middle of an otherwise irrelevant and long-forgotten email, rather than updating the relevant column in spreadsheet I thought we were working from.

    So, technically, my fault, but definitely hers, but ultimately mine. Next time I'll consolidate that factor in the same situation.

    *shrug*

    If your employer's computer lost your work, it's their fault so they shouldn't have any problems re-doing it — and we all know work done a second time's much quicker and better than the first.

    And get a new computer.

    And don't trust it, and make your own back up.

    Which reminds me — I need to do a back up.

    .

    Which is fuck-all consolation, I understand.

    • re: 3rd full paragraph - unfoprtunatelty, laser-cutting takes exactly the same amount of time to re-do whatever has to be done. Yaay.detritus

    • i broke it again this morning where it froze for 5 min, then rebooted itself. again i was taking some notes and it just did it on it's own.kona
