The impossible has happened!!!!

[wazman]

Well, I was watching "Clean Sweep" this morning. For those who don't watch it, "Clean Sweep" is one of those home improvement type shows. What they do is pick somebody with a couple really messy, disorganized rooms, and come in and show them how to organize. They go through all their stuff and keep some, and then toss or sell the rest at a garage sale. Then they build stuff and help them get better organized.

Anyway, I was watching it this morning, and I got the urge to go through some of my stuff and clear some of it out. Also, WazLady wants to paint the bathroom, so we needed to go through the cabinet in there and clean it out as well.

So while I was waiting for her, I went into our bedroom and cleaned out my nightstand (it has two drawers that I keep all my Maxim magazines in). Anyway, I was going through some of the junk that I was holding on to for no apparent reason, and guess what?

I found my piece of paper!!!!!!!! :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello :luxhello

Yep, I finally found the piece of paper I've been looking for all this time. I can't imagine how it got in there.... It's at the other end of the house from where it should be.

But anyway, I can finally close that chapter and move on to better things. :) Happy wazman.

Yay for....paper...?

See this thread (http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24664) for the reason I'm so happy. Basically, it was the paper with the key for a piece of software I use, and without the key, I couldn't use the software. (And no, it wasn't porn.)

Needless to say, I have now made copies of the paper so I never go through this again.

Hooray!!

Yes, I remember that thread!

Similar things have happened to me, and they do come up months later, however usually in a much more obvious place.

Yes, it's good to write these software keys down on a piece of paper somewhere, but why on a literal piece of paper when who knows what will happen to the paper. Maybe it will disappear when you invite family over for thanksgiving, or it will vanish when someone accidentally throws it away, or maybe you will move it to one of the drawers in your nightstand after sleepwalking to the other end of the house (for no good reason, except to get that paper).

Lesson: don't write it down on a piece of paper, save it in note pad to your desktop, documents folder, windows installation folder, webserver, or even email it to yourself (to every single one of your email addresses). Heck, do all of the above.

P.S. With seven different email addresses, it will be difficult to lose that email for me.
