Can't find my address/guest list. I'm about to have a heart attack.

Holy shit. I had my giant list with everyone's addresses. And I can't find it. I'm searching everywhere. I want to cry.

Uh-Oh!! Sending good vibes to help you find it!!

Paper list or computer file? If it's in Excel I can help you find where the temporary files are saved.

It was an Excel file on our laptop that's at home. I have FI searching. I could have sworn I had it saved as a google doc too.

Oh no!  Deep breaths and good luck

OK go into Excel. Go to File > Options, then the Save tab. There should be a line for AutoRecover Save Location. Go to that file location; it should be there (or at least the last Auto-Recovered version, which saves every 10 minutes unless you changed it manually). Even if you hit close without saving, that Auto-Recover version will be there.

You have it somewhere!

I printed mine out as a checklist when I sent STDs. The checklist is still in the box with the leftovers- could you have a copy there as well? I think my mom has a draft as well.

Good luck!

Thank you! 

You know, the one fucking time I need FI to answer the phone during the day. I'm ready to drive home and strangle him.

@lolo883 you saved the day!

@climbingbrideny so glad you found it!

AddieCake

Glad you found it!  Tech snafus are the reason I just did everything with good old fashioned paper and pencil. 

sophhabobopha

Yay! So glad you found it!

climbingsingle

You guys! I need a drink after that. 

slothiegal

Whew!!!  

Now upload that baby to Google docs and make yourself a margarita!

After reading this, I just uploaded my newest version to Google Docs and emailed it to FI and myself. Eek!

I'm saving it everywhere. That was really effing scary!

I can't tell you how excited I was to find the Auto-Recover trick. I thought those only recovered when the program crashed, and deleted if you said not to save. That folder has saved my ass so many times now!

You are for real the best. I want to send you a bottle of wine.

Back in college, I had this HUGE paper due, and it was in some crazy class that I should've never even taken (Philosophies of Ancient Government or something...not really helpful for my Educational Studies and Art degrees, but whatever).  Anyways, I finished it up, and it was BEAUTIFUL, and I was so freakin' proud of myself, because I barely understood the subject matter and had spent more time on it than I had on all my previous papers put together.  I was so terrified of something happening to it before turning it in, I printed off like, five copies and hid them around my dorm room, gave a few copies to friends to put in their rooms, emailed my parents, saved it on USB stick, ANYTHING I could think of.  

So nuerotic.

I'm SO terribe with technology so I have mine all written out on paper in a folder with my contracts hahahaha

Although I have every photograph since I was 17 years old on an external hard drive (thousands all in chronological folders). Photos are so important to me, I cringe when people post on FB about losing all their child's pics on their broken phone. Back that shit up!!
