During the process, I realized that calculus really wasn't that fun and set it aside, but it got me to thinking. I did recover most of the document eventually, using the classic method of typing it all out again from hardcopy.

When I wasn't working on my RPG during working hours, I was writing 400-500 page documents and watching them occasionally implode on themselves, usually about ten minutes before they were due. Now, a corrupted Word file isn't that rare of an occurrence. Everything was going just fine until one day I went to add some custom rules on creating people out of gold and cats when the most horrible of events befell me: I couldn't scroll past page thirty.
