Arrrrrggggghhhhhh stupid bloody computer!!!!!!!!!!

Was about 500 words in doing a fill for spn_masquerade and no I'm not saying which prompt :p and my laptop froze. Couldn't even copy the text to paste into another doc and I didn't think to write it out longhand before I did the only thing I could -- a cold reboot.

Now I have to try to recreate what I had written and I just know it's not going to be as good. Oh well, lesson learnt, I suppose.

On a slightly happier note-- Welcome back Windows 7!!!! I have missed you so much and am so, so sorry for dumping you for that awful Windows 10 upgrade. Will promise to never do that again!!!

Oh, man, I wanted to kick the damn thing right across the room but somehow resisted and took the dog for a walk instead to calm down.

What's worrying is when there's a blip like that...Who knew we had so much of our life on the computer...Little worrying! I have been given SO many heart attacks over the years! This is why I back up constantly, lol.

I know!!! had a massive panic attack today when I realised that in switching back from Win10 to Win7, it had somehow deleted months of saved emails even though I had closed my email programme before doing the switch, including all my confirmations for hotels and flight tickets and (this was the absolute worse) all my PDF tickets for the 2 SPN cons, gold tickets for both and multiple Jared, Jensen and J2 photo ops.

Rang my ISP to see if the emails were still on their server but nope!! Lost in the internet ether, never to be found!!! So I've been busy all afternoon emailing everyone (Creation, the Marriott in Denver, the Sheraton in Pasadena, 2 different hostels) I've booked something with and asking if they can resend confirmations and PDF's. Luckily I had saved my 3 Greyhound bus tickets to my hard-drive so I don't have bother chasing them up as well.

Once I get them (IF I get them) I will be saving everything to a thumb drive or 2 as well as printing everything out in triplicate!!!!
