Screwed

I hate my line of work sometimes. Imagine Monet working in a shared studio on a team project. You have the draft canvas where you work out ideas and as they are finalized and approved they are moved into the museum for display. Now imagine another artist on the team accidentally works in the museum instead of the studio and to fix the problem decides to throw away all the studio canvases and copy the museum canvases into the studio.

That's what just happened to me. Effectively a two day set back...or, two days of my life thrown away for naught. And this happens all the time in the technology business.
