Well, SOD.

charameiLost my memory stick, and with it, the 1,000 words I wrote last night after backing up to Dropbox. You know, the 1,000 words where the hero tells me what the fuck is going on in my novel.
Also, everything else that existed only on that stick, which wasn't much but was enough to be irritating.
Also, I don't understand how. I distinctly remember taking it out of my USB hub and putting it into my bag to take to work. My bag with the deep, solid pockets. Which at no point turned upside-down. When I got on the train and went to plug it into my netbook, it wasn't there, so either it somehow jumped six inches out of my bag pocket, cleverly bypassing the flap as it did so, or it fucking dematerialised.
(Yes, I am sweary today. It's been an aggravating one all around and this is just the icing on top.)
Sod sod sod sod SOD.
(Bright side! I didn't lose any of the new batch of First Steps, just Miasma. And, you know, every other fucking thing from before I started using Dropbox.)
Moodtheme!Unam is unsuitable. I am past 'Unam' levels of pissed-off and straight into FALLEN MEREDITH PSYCHOTIC RAGE at myself right now.
I just... I have no idea how I lost it. There was no logistical point between 'put stick in bag' and 'retrieve stick on train' where it could have fallen out.
