Leaving work on New Year’s Eve, I was feeling pretty good about myself. A project was coming together and I had produced a pretty nice work product. I saved my file in a spot I could find, turned off my computer, and smiled. When the new year arrived, I was going to hit the ground running.

Fast forward through New Year’s Day to January 2nd, I pranced into work and booted up my computer. It was going to be such a productive start to the new year.

One problem, the file that I saved, my excellent work, was nowhere to be found. Vanished. It was gone. Less of a panic and more of a sadness started rolling over me. As I clicked on the Recycle Bin to see if I had accidentally deleted it, I spotted it. There on my desktop, a bit of uber organization that I had left myself from last year, a file labeled “Current.”

Nice thinking 2018 Dave, just next time try and be more clear about things that are current. That file is a year old. – 2019 Dave
