A Bad Day

January 17, 2009

When its not your day, its not your day.  What’s the worst thing that could happened to you at work?  If you ask me, the worst thing and the stupid thing that happened to me was when I accidentally deleted all my current working files in my computer (whaaaaa) last Thursday, January 14.  I was trying to back up my 2007 files in my external hard disk and CD after which, it’s time to delete them. I knew that its that folder that I will be deleting so I pressed shift+delete (I don’t retain deleted files in my recyled bin).  And just for seconds, their gone.  But its not only the 2007 files that were deleted, my 2008 files where in it.  And for that short moment, my world stopped.  I just don’t know what to do.  I stared on my computer for seconds and nothing.  All were really gone…

 

I immedietly went to our IT to have it restored but, incidentally, they have no tool available and will have to look in the internet.  They told me not to save anything since it can still be recovered.  what did I do after???? Nothing.  If you’re going to ask me if I cried? Well NOOOO. Hahahaha. Since crying will not make my deleted files come back. Had I know this will happen, I’ve should have back-up also my current files.  Oh well, who would have known that will happen anyway.  Hayyyy. I just closed my laptop and went home. 

 

If you can recommend a recovery tool, please let me know.  I badly need those file….

POSTCROSSING

Last year I posted that a friend of mine introduced me to postcrossing.  It’s a postcard crossing project  where you send and receive post cards from members in all parts of the world.  The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
