Bollocks

[liadnan]

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. Computers are rubbish. No, they are, really. Hours of work somehow turned into a corrupted file. I'm going back to doing everything in sodding longhand, everything I tell you.

I want a holiday.

I'm fed up actually. I'm still permanently exhausted even atthe start of the day, near dead at the end. I don't have time or energy to write anything, or even read anything stronger than Peter and Jane go to the Beach (I shan't give away the ending).

Bah, humbug. &c.

that is why you have to have an aerodynamic lap-top computer, so that you can throw it out the window when it pleases you to

hope things will somehow soon go better for you...

Computers absolutely suck. And I should know, I program them.

Computors are pure undiluted evil.

I hope you get a chance for some real rest and relaxation and feel less drained soon!

Has it corrupted the "recent" copy as well? There should be a folder somewhere in you C drive which stores of copies (not shortcuts) to word etc docs. Erm, this is presuming you're using windows?

What happens when you try and open the doc then?

[liadnan]

It's running XP, yes. I do have MandrakeLinux installed on the machine but have generally come to the conclusion that life is too short to learn how to use it properly. But it's OpenOffice, not Word, and there wasn't a Recent Doc. The original just became unopenable. Fortunately there was a backup and its redone and out now.
Have had a dramatic morning of mixed disaster and triumph, fortunately in that order, in the Central London County Court, and my senior clerk is pissed off with me... and I still feel shit.

At least you got the doc back I suppose.

Have you been to see a doctor about this? you seem to have been under the weather for some time now. It might be worth getting it checked out...

[liadnan]

Can't afford the time to go see a doctor, let alone to be ill.
Yes I do know that is a foolish attitude...
