I woke up this morning and headed out to a client`s site. Cold, wet morning. To add a layer of excitement I am also getting over the flu. Upon arriving I start writing code, importing data, making local copies, etc... Today I brought my trusty flash drive so that I can work from home tomorrow (Friday) and the rest of the weekend. I figure everyone in the office (client site) will be gone so why should I have to show up? After making sure I have all the necessary data I right-click my project folder, `Send To`, `Removeable yada, yada`. I then click the `Safely Remove Hardware` button on the taskbar and wait for the prompt telling me that it is now `safe to remove` hardware. And I`m off.
Now at home I just built a little stove fire and get ready to bang out some code when I realize that the code-behind for default.aspx.cs is completely wiped out and replaced with a partial javascript file from my Includes/javascript directory and the XML document (read schema) is now missing.
Guess what I`m doing tomorrow morning? Hopefully someone will be there. I will have to break the cardinal rule of network policy by telling someone my password over the phone. Great. It beats a 40-minute drive though.
F&&K! SH&T
So I probably could not recreate this in a million years if I tried. Anyone have any stories like this? I guess it could have been worse.
UPDATE: I'm back on track. That was close!
Interesting,
