Frustrations.
Thursday, August 11, 2005

So, the thing I've spent the last 3 hrs working on just went all wonky and I tried to save it and close out of the program, but when I reopened the file, it hadn't saved half the stuff I'd done (this is a common occurrence on our network. No matter how much I complain, no one seems to be able to fix it.) So now I have to go back and redo everything I spent all morning doing.
I was so upset I got up, slammed my office door behind me and went in the library and had a right little (internal) temper tantrum and a good cry. Part of my extreme frustration is that I've had very little sleep all week and I'm just exhausted and cranky.
And, as icing on my bitter little cake, I broke one of the shells off my cute shell bracelet when I slammed my office door, which serves me right for losing my temper.
I think I'll go eat an early lunch and then come back to this, or else I'm liable to put my letter opener through my monitor.

That's the problem, we don't have an IT department. We have one guy and his (annoying smoker) wife who comes in occasionally, and usually in the evenings and weekends when I'm not here.
Downside of working at a church.

Oh and Zoot-my letter opener is cool! It reminds me of those pointy hair things women in kung fu movies pull out of their heads and use as weapons.

Thanks guys.
I got it all out of my system. Ate leftover (yummy) Thai for lunch, ran home to get the wallet I forgot and grabbed my remaining ghiradelli dark chocolate squares, then ran to the knitting shop downtown to get the needles I need to start my Jayne Hat Knitting Operation. Broke down and took some tylenol for my tension headache. And as soon as I take a few deep breaths, I'm diving back in.

TWG-I was saving every 5 minutes. Doesn't make a difference, auto save or not. Sometimes it just doesn't save. I save half my stuff to disk, but even that only works sometimes. Our network is SERIOUSLY messed up.

Does the program allow you to set up an auto save? Try that...otherwise you just have to get into the habit of saving every 5 minutes. I learned the hard way. I've lost much work to crashes.

But NO MORE I say, no more.

CMS - I know just how you feel!! Somedays it's almost not worth bothering to sit at yer desk!!

Wish I had a letter opener though (*wistful sigh*) could come in handy for threatening other members of staff too!!
