I win the SPOTD award today. I formatted the hard drive on my computer about two months ago and whilst I saved everything to CD, I then misplaced the CD with email addresses on it. Couldn’t find it anywhere. We were pretty busy all the time so I didn’t look for it really hard but then the other night when we went to send out the word that we’d gotten hitched, it was critical we found all those email addresses of the people who hadn’t emailed us in two months so we could get their email address. Mind you, there’s possibly a moral in the story of whether you need to tell people who haven’t emailed you in two months but we’ll leave that for the time being.

In any event, after searching the work office and home office I could not find the CD and resigned myself to going back to search through a previous version of the email address book on a CD from late 2004. Since people’s email addresses have changed, this didn’t do much for me but it was better than nothing. Turned on the PC, hit the CD-ROM button to load the old CD and what should be sitting in the CD-ROM than the damn CD I’d been looking for over the past few days. Grr. Didn’t think to look inside the CD-ROM so for that I get the SPOTD award.
