Today at 2:47 PM Pacific Time Zone I deleted a \*.pdf file that contained an image of a shipping label to a company to perform a service on an item. The item has since been returned, so I don’t think that information will be important in the future.

Thank you for your support.

Wow. What a mundane, pointless thing to share.

When I ordered hookers by mail at work, I deleted the shipping labels as well.

Just go to the recycle bin and restore the document. Simple as that unless you cleaned your computer in the last couple of hours. Even then, you could run some cheap recovery programs and find it.

Yeah, there really are limits to how mundane and pointless we’re willing to get – this is past those limits.
