I will begin by saying that this will be a shorter blog for the fact that I am so beside myself by what has just happened to me that I cannot bring myself to REWRITE my original blog that I was going to post 3 minutes before I am now writing this rant of frustration.
My original post was about my first day at The Working Centre and how the morning went from me being nervous about taking the bus by myself for the first time and starting a new volunteer placement to then having a new look on the day after reading an Oatmeal Packet, all before I had even left the house. I had also discussed some personal boundary issues around washing dishes that I was able to set aside and deal with at the Working Centre. All of this may seem a little vague and none descriptive, and this because I plan on posting this blog when I am able to put myself back in that place to write it again. I explain this situation because as I was going through my blog to edit it and post it, my laptop froze and literally started deleting my entire blog LETTER by LETTER from the very beginning to the very end. As soon as I saw this starting to happen I started yelling "NO, NO, NO... STOP, STOP" and I was clicking on different things on the screen and trying so hard to get it to stop, and when it did my entire 2.5 page blog was wiped clean just as if I had opened a new blank document. From my yelling my roommates came running out into the kitchen to look at my screen, they had known something bad had happened just by the look on my face. I just sat down and took a huge sigh and said that it had deleted my entire blog, my one roommate looked at me and said "that one you were just finishing?" my response in a very sad, disappointed voice replied "yea, the one I was just about to post". They tried clicking on things and pressing undo and telling me that maybe it was still saved and that it wasn't gone for good. I had waited and tried to click on it and hope that it unfreezes, but I am so afraid that if I restart my computer it will have deleted it for good. So although this not even Close to how amazing and cathartic my original blog was (as my stomach begins to ache and feel sick) this is the blog that I am now left with because technology has failed me today. This will bring on another rant about technology later as this experience has opened a can of worms. But for tonight I am just so upset that something I was really excited about just disappeared into the world of technology space, I cannot truly write another blog right now.
Until next time... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........................................
reading your blog at 12:24 am and love you.
ReplyDeleteI can feel your pain but am sure something even more powerful will come out of all of this.
see you in the morning.
sleep well
That takes the cake. I've had my share of technical difficulties but having your hard work deleted letter by letter is certaintly a new form of torture.
ReplyDeleteJust for future reference . . . is it okay if I laugh at situations like this? (That seems to be a common reaction of mine - Better laugh than cry, right?)
