Yesterday I encrypted a password I couldn't afford to lost by hand with a one-time pad on paper. It took a long time to XOR all the letters - I probably should have used a WWII-era style alphabet mod 25 or something , but I needed symbols, and ended up just doing hex-ascii.
Did you double-check your result using a different method, or at least after some hours (to prevent you from replaying an erroneous calculation)? A calculation error could be disastrous.

Of course. I blind-inverted each step without looking at the result a couple times to be sure.
