due to a substandard computer, patchy power supply and a dollop of bad luck i just lost five hours of work. painstaking, boring work that i will now have to start completely over.
rather than shove my fist through the screen of this piece of crap i decided to start this thread.
it isn't helping.

Let be, be the finale of seem.
Shit Kleph! That sucks arse!! This happened to me the other day when formatting extremely tedious lists of structured finance rating actions (sounds exciting huh!). Lost the entire lot when the program I was using decided to shit itself. I very quietly gathered my belongings and treated myself to a good lunch and a walk. Came back not quite so bitter about the whole experience. I do still have the occassional twitch at the memory, though :)

i was about halfway through transcribing an interview. since it has to be word perfect it is time consuming and tedious to do.
i would throw in the towel but now i have to translate a badly written story about the ecuador/paraguay world cup qualifier game. not fun either.

Get dodgy software that likes to crash as soon as you finish a big operation with. This will teach you that you must save often and create backup frequently.
It should be a piece of piss this time. Good luck

Mate, I really do feel for you. That has happened to me a few times, strangely enough only just before a deadline!
Just step back from the computer, grab a beer and have a break.
It's only gonna piss you off the more you think about it. Probably just looking at your PC is making it worse!

there was a thunderstorm round my place once and me being the busy person i am editing large files of videos and not saving them.
anyways the lightning comes a knocking and powers down the area. at this point i thought: "no biggie cos I'VE got a UPS, it'll save me." so as i proceeded to save i smelt plastic burning toxic smoke and realised my UPS was on fire.
now im a more tolerant person.

Take a chill pill, go fo a walk outside and come back to it in a little while. Hopefully the rage would have subsided by then :)

yeah unfortunately doing saves doesn't work when the problem is the fact you smashed your pc against the wall and thrown it off a five story building
