I posted about the nice time I had yesterday morning with my daughter running errands but I forgot to tell you about something that happened last night. My wife had been working on a project for work all day on the computer. Just before bed she lost the document she was working on. She told me that she had saved it several times but for some reason the document crashed and she couldn't find it or recover it. She tried document searches and other tricks but to no avail. She was in tears. She had spent hours on that work and was going to use it in a meeting today. I told her that I didn't know how to help her. I went about my routine and an idea struck me. I went back and as it turns out she had opened the document originally from an email and was clicking save instead of save as. We found the document in a temp folder in tact. The drunk me would never had thought to look at that. Because I had not been drinking I saved her hours of rework. That was positive reinforcement for me.
