My most horrible day :*(

You wouldn't believe what happened to me today.  I was busy working on my lab report (that's due tuesday, btw) and getting a lot of work done.  well, after three hours of working on it, i go to save it, and to make a long story short, it's destroyed.  the entire file is lost, and there's no way to get it back  on top of having to start that all over again, i have a killer exam on monday.  i have no idea where to even start.  i am hereby making this the "homework frustration support" thread.  i could really use some prayer for getting through all this stuff.  i really appreciate it.

God Bless Everyone!

BTW- i know this seems pretty insignificant compared to what other people must be going through, but i'm feeling very frustrated. 

Oh don't worry, I feel your pain. Homework eaten by the computer has an aggravation factor of 10.

Sometimes it helps to just start over. Go lay in your bed just for a second and get up again. Stretch real big and think to yourself, "I'm alive. I got that going for me." Then go about redoing your work.
An alternative to this is simply shooting your computer.

I'm sowie. That's no fun when thigns like that happen

BTW if you were saving it onto removable media (3 1/2 floppy, ZIP, CD-R/RW, or DVD-R/RW) you should definitely run ScanDisk on the drive, and if it comes up with many errors, have a repairperson look at the drive.

The reason? This was the first sign of trouble with the 3 1/2 drive on my old 486: it wrote bad data to a disk, therefore making 21 pages of a novel I wanted to write disappear grrrr A month later that drive stopped working for good.

LOL. . .If my 486 didn't still have the HD in it (I'm planning to have that eventually put in another PC as a secondary drive so I can retrieve whatever is still left on it), I would sell it to you for target practice

LOL!!
A 486. I remember when that was the fastest thing out there.
66MHz and 4 megs of ram. I was ready to take on the world.

/me agrees with shooting ones computer when it dumps important files. or she recommends finding a sledge hammer... those work too.
