piece. of. dren.

I am so FUCKING MAD at Microsoft Word right now it should be hopping a Greyhound to New Jersey. When I got my new Palm, I shelled out for the portable version of Word so I could write things with some length, and that's where I've been tap-typing my recipe list in during lunch. I come home, sync it, fix the formatting, re-sync, and take it back to work the next day. Tonight I decided one of my collector binders should contain only recipes I'd entered, and spent the last 1 1/2 hours typing in something like 150 recipe titles. I chose Save from the File menu, closed the document, closed Word, and synced. Then, just to check, I opened the file on the Palm. It was exactly the same as it had been at 9:00. 2 1/2 hours earlier.

So, here's the shell game of the week: where the FUCKING HELL is my FILE??????

I have searched hidden files and folders, found cached copies that look exactly like the normal copies, and am coming up enragedly clueless. The file had a name when I saved it, and was not saved as Doc1, untitled, Word, or anything of that sort. (I checked.) I'm sure it was saved, because Word wouldn't have let me quit if it hadn't been. All I can think of is that Documents to Go decided, for some incredibly stupid-ass reason, that a backup copy saved at 9:03 pm was preferable to a file last edited at 11:25 pm, and overwrote with the old data. If so, STUPID. FUCKING. PIECE. OF. SHIT.

That Greyhound better have room for two.
