Oh, SELF, I AM HAT U

[darsynia]

Oh no.

NO NO NO.

JUST...

*sob*

Dear self,
BACK YOUR SHIT UP FOR THE LOVE OF PURPLE ANTEATERS.

No love,
You.

Worked on Big Bang last night. Copied a section to send to someone then went to bed, forgetting it was highlighted. Woke up this morning to the 'please restart for software update to be complete' and went to close everything and save.

When I went back to the file, there was a nice shiny blank spot where the section used to be.

I must have hit enter when it was still highlighted.

NOW (hubby told me about it just now) I know about 'track changes' which lets you backtrack to previous versions but since I can't activate it retroactively? NOT HAPPY. I already cut out a huge section that wasn't working, so I'm like, seriously down in my word count. With an important check-in on TUESDAY.

I'm going to go eat lunch. NOT HAPPY.

ETA: I had MS Word up in the title but really pretty much any word processor would have had the same result. Computers aren't psychic, heh. *facepalm*

No worries -- I didn't realise you were in the midst of a software update. My bad.

Of course, the only response one can have to being totally screwed is to write pron. *cheerleads you back to pron*

*g*

Hee, I wish I could write pron! I have to work on the big bang to catch up to where I was, and then catch up to where I should be, heh.

I have lots of pron plots percolating, though...

/me takes her alliteration and absents herself

A plethora of pron plots percolating?

Precisely!
