It's okay. I've managed to get most of it back. It took me a while to comb through the 40-some pages of bad code, but when I combined what I got from there with all the stuff I'd already emailed to myself, I managed to salvage about 95% of my stuff. It was time consuming and maddening, but yay for catching a break! ♥
Well, I've been hypervigilant about saving my work every sentence since eighth grade, when the universe first pulled this kind of thing on me. That said though, maybe I should invest in your strategy of reasoned paranoia, though. I mean, Word isn't supposed to kill your file when your computer suddenly overheats. Especially since I don't even think it was open when my computer overheated and shut off.
Glad to hear you got it back! I don't want to think about how little fun that would have been.
I'm raising an eyebrow at this whole "computer overheating and shutting off" thing. I will note that there are *several* competent hardware people in the group, most of whom I'm sure would be more than happy to take a look at your system and figure out what it's doing and what can be done about it.
And one of these days, I'm going to have to take people up on it. It hasn't gotten to the point where it's begun to bug me terribly yet. Buuuuuuuut then again, I've been dealing with crap hardware since I was a kid.
*trembles* ... Nuh, nuh... Nooo~! I think Mely went into minor shock herself for a moment. But it looks like you've been able to salvage the situation somewhat, so that's a sigh of relief. Still... >_< *wants to comfort the Blash* Weren't we just talking about losing large amounts of writings the other day? *sigh*
Well, Mely has to dash and prepare herself for another final, but before I go - lots of luck! ♥

(Oh, and our evil squirrel lovechild too, I suppose. Maybe that'll get him/her/it to behave, even if only for a little bit.)
