Give me a break

Well here I was, chugging along on project two when my boss decides he's finally ready to follow through on my first godforsaken nightmare of a project that I handed off to him two months ago. It turns out that after several abandoned attempts at uploading it to his web host, neither of us knows where the most current version of the site resides either on his computer or mine. The version he just launched has some grave errors that need repaired. Too bad I don't remember a thing about what I did. Had he come to me back in September, I just may have remembered.

You may recall that I got to play cryptologist back in June when I arrived to be handed a complex, several-month-old project encompassing someone else's development of an entire directory system from scratch using what appears to be their own private version of the model-view-controller methodology. What made this take three whole months was that it had been done completely without documentation within a content management system which was itself practically undocumented.

Imagine my confusion when, upon learning that after two months I couldn't help him, he asked "didn't you document it?".
