For me…
I am on a quest to write rotating menus for the entire year, in 4 month rotations. I have one section done and just finished another when the computer, printer, went down. I lost most of what I worked on. It was saved throughout but then lost it in the end. I wish I knew what happened, but I do know that my printer is mostly to blame, as if it detects low ink it is as stubborn as a mule and will not produce anything and thus froze up on me, and it was close to seeing a wall nearby (close up)!!!
All in all I lost about 8-10 hrs of work at least!!! I was, am, so upset, but I do know that there are worse things to happen in life so you move on. But I will say that the printer is on very thin ice with me!!!
Have a “Nice Printer” Day!

Wow, I’m sorry you lost all your work. I would love to see your completed menus when you get them done, I have heard that a rotating menu system saves tons of $ in the long run.
Yes, we were in AZ in June. We went to Phoenix and also to the Grand Canyon. We had a great time, and I posted blog pictures from our adventures. I didn’t realize you were in AZ!!!!!
Blessings,

What a bummer! That is so frustrating! We have not started school and I am working on getting books ordered and I need to get some books onto ebay! I guess I better get busy.

Thanks all for your sympathy!!! I was so sad with this but also feeling guilty as there are much worse things in life to happen.
I am not too anxious to start this project again though!

Oh, no! I put my menu on a Google Calendar. That doesn’t help your lost hours, but you may like it. Here’s a blurb I wrote about it, Menu Planning.
Hope you get your printer fixed!
