It finally happened.
It was bound to, really.
It feels like an initiation of sorts.
This afternoon I went to the coffee shop and wrote a long-ass post. So long, in fact, that i decided to save the final bit to do tonight.
And then tonight i went ahead and erased it and couldn't get it back. Yes i tried Control+Z.
It's gone. All that time and energy. All the witty barbs and spastic metaphors.
I didn't even get to reread it.

ReplyDeleteThat really sucks ass. I've had that happen more times than I can count--usually when I type a long response into a form field and something goes wrong with the submission, and my response goes *poof.* It's particularly infuriating when I'm giving very valuable detailed feedback in an online survey, and they've stupidly programmed the survey to time out after a while, or to have an undisclosed text limit (why limit the feedback you get?? argh!), or it's just badly programmed--and *poof.* Gone.
It took a long time, but I finally learned never to trust text boxes. I type whatever I want to say in my own text editor, saving periodically, and then copy/paste when ready to upload. Or I'll type in the textbox and periodically copy everything to the clipboard, or to a local file.
Which is good, because as you can see, I'm really friggin long-winded.
*poof*
@John "poof" indeed!
