So Tuesday, things were going well. Classes were over, I had finished my presentation for my Biology class, and for two days in a row - I had nothing to do but catch up on my list of projects. So I stayed up all day Monday night, working on projects for my advent calender and Heliopolis. Finally, I laid down to get a few hours of sleep, then I was going to look over the fic I had written for a pinch hit one last time and send it in...
I slept a long time - I had been really tired and when I woke up, everything that I had worked on was missing.... All of my screencaps, icons, stories, including the pinch hit I had promised were all gone. Somehow they had been deleted. After a bit I located a recovery program and tried to run it. It confirmed that the files had been deleted and I tried to recover them, but really only ended up with empty folders and blank or corrupted files... well, F@#%.
I ended up sleeping more than anything until Wednesday afternoon, in between working to recover my files. Then I started studying and finishing up my reports for the end of the semester. I didn't sleep at all on Wednesday night. I had my final at 8am yesterday am, then finally got registered for the spring with a lot of help from the department secretary, finished up my presentation and lab notebook submissions, turned it in and then came to work.
Work was fine, though I stayed busy, which was good, because I was tired. Then my replacement didn't show up, or call, so I had an unexpected double shift. I caught some sleep and am now back here again, trying to be cheery for the masses.
I am determined to finish up my exchange pinch hit as soon as possible. What sucks is that for a change I wrote directly into the laptop, instead of long hand. (I've been doing that more lately.) this will also be the third incarnation of this d@mn challenge. I abandoned the first as being too long and complicated, and lost the second to the computer gods as described above.
I will be catching up on the advent calender entries as soon as I can by cheating and back-dating the entries. *sigh* It takes time to make screencaps and graphics and such, and I do have some WIPs on my hard drive that can be polished up and presented, but... Really, so much work to redo... Did I mention how tired I am.
OOH, I got a great surprise for my husband for Christmas, though. It isn't great, but it was free and he will never, ever expect it. His last day of work until the spring semester is Monday, do free is really good :) I told him that I am the best wife ever, even if he doesn't know it yet...
Hope everyone is ok. i know the holidays are really hard for a lot of us, so hang in there, and find your peace where you can. Also, good luck to anyone dealing with finals.
