1834	The Graveyard of the Unfinished	<b>The Waitress and the Potato Pusher</b> You ever start something, lose it, and find yourself unable to recreate it? This was just such a thing. When I first moved to Sacramento with ex-Mrs steak, I got a job in a produce warehouse. I was working 65+ hours a week. I thought I would lose my mind. I was very good at it, and it was very boring. I had little time to do anything but work and sleep. ex-Mrs steak took a job as a waitress. We barely had any time together, and we were not very happy. I wrote a story about it. That was the setup. Then one day, the potato pusher comes home and says to the waitress, "let's go to Iceland" and they did and lived happily ever after (although I did not use that phrase). The writing was charming and the drawings were wonderful. This was one of --scratch that, THE only piece of drawing and fictional writing made in my adult life of which I would be proud. I wanted to print it and make a book out of it. I did not want it to be seen before giving it the physical form. So I destroyed the original paper drawings after scanning them into the computer, and put those in a folder with the text file. Then I put password protection on the folder. Can you guess what happened? That's right! I used some crazy password and couldn't remember it two days later. D'oh! I did some looking into removing the password, but everything I could find about doing it was crazy complicated and beyond my abilities.	shakin steak	Apr 24, 2013
