Almost everyday I am blaming myself in mind for doing something wrong, for my kids, for my hubby or for work. Today is the first time in my whole life that in one minute I actually felt so good and would have given myself a kiss if i could.
It was a manuscript i am working on with my former boss at NU, since the work was done in year 2002, he lost track of some data from one of our collaborators, who had left NU over 3 years and lost touch. I did not expect that I could find anything since that data was never given to me, but i did remember seeing it on a piece of paper. But just wanted to be sure, I began to browse my file folder. Guess what? I, at a certain time and for an unknown reason, scaned the piece of paper and stored it on my own computer. Wow, unbelievable.
Not too long later, I found that my boss actually wishes that I could show some other data in a figure which I once did just because of my own curiousity and were not thought to be of any use for the whole project. It was in a instrument-specific format and I was almost sure that i would not be able to fulfil this task for my poor boss. Again just to be safe, I began to scroll down my folder and surprisingly I actually have re-plotted those curves and they are ready for use.
Are these enough for me to feel happy for a while? I am not so dumb after all!
