The breaking point...address labels

You wouldn't think that it was possible that someone could spend most of one day entering 200 addresses into a database and then save a blank page over it during the so-called "merge" step. But I did. The better part of six hours of computer slumping, child interrupting data entry--all in vain. I have this kind of luck with labels and copy machines--always have. I can't line them up on the page, my printer (or copier) jams, or I loose the data. Many of my college jobs were office assistant type positions where there were a lot of labels and copies to be made. I would manage to get paper jammed into parts of the copy machine that didn't even have a little door to open--and anyone who has used a large copy machine circa 1994 knows there were a lot of doors! Today, I started my list over and got to the Gs before my computer seized up and had to be shut down. My computer is seven or eight years old and just cannot handle everything that I have going on right now. Have I mentioned that everything in my computer life is on my desktop and has not been backed up in any way so I'm just asking for a complete computer crash. I'm barely computer literate which makes every task seem insurmountable. Oh, yeah, crashing...I lost the label database AGAIN. Anyone of even below average intelligence would have saved after the Bs at this point, but not me. Tomorrow I will save after every letter under two different file names, and pray that my computer doesn't give up before I do.
