Yesterday, for the first time in Dubai, I was stung by a pesky mosquito. And it stung me 4 friggin times. As the seasons in India, and now in the UAE, seem to revolve around mosquitoes, I clearly remember the first time I spotted a mosquito here – 18th September 2008. The climate must be changing now – the mosquitoes are beginning to come alive (only God knows where they’ve hidden all these months), the tap water’s not as steaming hot at 5am as before (it’s only mildly warm now), and I just screwed up my entire library of work information gathered through the years through sheer stupidity… Not really, but now I officially hate Microsoft Vista for fiddling with the ‘My Documents’ folder we’ve grown so accustomed to for so many years. I deleted a folder named ‘Documents’ that was inside the ‘Videos’ folder because it was an exact duplicate of the ‘Documents’ folder under ‘Gary’. And ‘POOF’, the extra efficient computer deleted the blasted Folder in less than two minutes, with a stop, informing me that the files are too long to be in the Recycle Bin or something like that, and whether I’d want to continue. And I happily said Yes! Why not? And then there was none, no more stupid folders called ‘Documents’ in my entire computer except in the Recycle Bin.
No worries, that’s what Recycle Bins are for, …until you try restoring it and find the reinstated ‘Documents’ Folder with nothing inside.
