Sia, if the pictures were on something like an SD card in the camera, you can download programs that will recover deleted files. They work fairly well. If they were only on the camera, I don't know how you'd recover them.

LOL NC.

Yesterday at softball practice, Darren plowed Dakota over. He was playing at second and she was running bases. Ball was hit to him and Dakota started running and he started to run towards her, I think she was going to try to duck around him but she's really not fast enough for that. He reached out to tag her with the ball just as she tried to swerve, instead of tagging her shoulder, he socked her in the side of the helmet with the ball and she went down. He said at first he thought she was laying on the ground laughing, but then realized she was crying. She was ok, just had the wind knocked out of her and the fact that it was dad who did it kinda shocked her. Poor dad is still apologizing!

Yes, one should. :-)

Sia I think a card reader is the contraption I bought for work a couple of months ago. You can use it to connect many different types of photo cards up to the computer and is under twenty dollars. Look for it in the electronics area in the section with digital camera accessories.

I was watching TV and a big storm warning came on the screen, so I ran outside and did my usual storm things. Close the patio umbrella, bring in the chair cushions, make the dogs go out for one last pee before it starts raining, etc. Then I came back in and sat in front of the tv and realized I was watching a recording from the other day....LOL!

Oh, yeah, and it just happened.

I work for a commercial real estate company, and I sent out marketing materials to 2,000 people with information that the client wanted removed.

I am sick to my stomach, and almost waiting to be fired.

I wish I had a hilarious story to tell, but I'm just hoping to get through my day.

Rosem4243, can you try to recall the information? that is assuming it was an email. Your recall might not be totally succuessful but you could get a majority of it back

Can you send out an update email with the offending info removed, with a note to disregard the original email?

For my stoopid thing, go check out the gripe thread. Grr...

Naja, sometimes when you recall an email you just make it worse. It draws attention to the fact that there was an error somewhere along the line.

Rose, good luck! I know what it's like to do something like that (having worked in an ad agency/pr firm) and you just want to dig a hole and die when something goes out that's wrong.

Costa, That was Dipo's suggestion, not mine. Let's spank her :-)

Rosem, you have my sympathy we are all human and hopefully your bosses can see past this error with a strong admonition. My best advice is if they are not already aware of the mistake, tell them yourself before they find out otherwise; take full responsibility without making excuses; apologize profusely; and let them know that you fully understand the gravity of the error and will ensure that it does not happen again.

Rosem, I'm so sorry. Reminds me of the time that I hit "reply all" to an Email sent from a dismissed employee to my entire nonprofit board.

I talked about how "disturbed" she was, or something uncomplimentary. Problem was, I forgot to delete her from the "reply all". Very stoopid.

Whew! Dodged a bullet there.

I have the best boss in the world. He was upset but told me not to lose sleep over it, and we'll figure out a way together for me to do better in the future.

I'm NOT fired! Yay!!

Thank you everyone, for all your kind words, advice and good thoughts. I can always count on TVCH to help me.

This is the absolute BEST community on the internetz.

Rose, if it makes you feel any better, I did one worse that that once.

I work for an ad agency and upon closing a project, I need to send an email to my supervisor and my billing department, outlining what the total approved budget we can charge the client, how much it actually cost us, and how much profit we made on the project, and a client email address to send the final bill to. Closing one project with a ridiculous profit (we had a budget of about $30k to charge the client, and we only spent about six or seven thousand internally, the rest was profit for us), I couldn't remember off the top of my head the client email address, so I used the auto-populate feature in the "to" field to pull it up... and then forgot to remove client's email before sending to my departments. My client got an email from me saying, "Great work, team! We just made $20k+ on this rinky dinky project!" Oops.

GAL, yes he is, because for the heat he took for this...well, lets just say I would have fired me.

Karen - Whoa!!!! Were you fired for that? Holy chit! I don't think I would have survived that one!

Thanks again everyone, I can't respond to each of you individually because I'm here at work, and don't want to make things worse!! LOL! But it was a situation where there was no way to recall the 'email blast' and there was no way for me to admit to it first, as it was brought to my attention by the client, via my boss. Aaarrrgh!!

Great to read things are okay, Rosem! Are you able to breathe normally yet? Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket - this could be your lucky day, even if it didn't seem that way a while ago.

I've not had mixups like those described here but they convinced me to focus completely on something work-related before finishing a N&V post!

Rose, if you come across 1/10th as sweet and conscientious in real life as you do on the boards, I think you can pretty much survive one mistake :-)
