Spent half my evening searching high and low for An Important Slip of Paper ("The Slip").
Halfway through, I instinctively told myself, "Why am I still ploughing through all these crap? Just press Ctrl-F, idi..."
I stopped short at the last syllable.
Once again, I've momentarily confused the real with the virtual.
Somehow, while searching for stuff, real stuff, I have this tendency to forget that they are not stored in folders, not sorted by file name (do they have file names in the first place?), and better still, I sometimes forget that things that I'm searching for may not even be files to begin with.
Gosh. It's worrying how my virtual habits are creeping into my real life.
Anyway, I still haven't found The Slip. Yet.
Maybe it's sitting in the bin somewhere. Gotta click Restore.
There I go again.
But seriously, wouldn't it be great if the Ctrl-F function worked in real life?
