Today I HATE technology!

Technology and I have a love/hate relationship.  Today I hate it.

A and I have been working on a big english project for his class.  We have been saving it on a zip drive so that he can work on it at school with his teachers as well.  Last night I sent the zip drive with Ryan so that he could print it out and put the pages in a nice book format for the presentation.  Unfortunately, the drive was completely empty!  The computer doesn't even register that there is a new drive plugged into it!  Ahhhhh!!!  All of that work!  GONE!

I can remember in high school typing in a huge paper and then something happened and I lost all of it.  I wasn't as calm as I was last night.  I actually threw myself on the ground, kicked, screamed, pounded my fists on the floor, and went balistic until I felt a little better!  Yes, I threw a tantrum in my late teens!  (sometimes it does help)  I don't remember if I recovered my work or if I had to start over again, but it stunk!

Fortunately, this time, I had emailed all of the documents except for one to Ryan at work earlier in the week thinking that he could print them off then.  He forgot, but I still had the email in my sent folder so I was able to recover everything except for the bibliography which I didn't work on so I have no idea how to reconstruct it!

Out West Trip - Day One

Image
Saturday, June 16 - Day 1 Travel to Mitchell, South Dakota
Starting your day at 2:15 am is one thing. Driving in the pouring rain is another. Driving through a lightning storm in the wee hours and having all of the street lights turn off because the sky is lit up like it’s high noon with a cloudless sky from lightning is yet another.
Other then the storm, seeing a bald eagle, seeing a giant iron cattle head sculpture on the side of the road, seeing hundreds of white windmills in large open fields in the fog (which seemed really spooky and made me think of a sci-fi film where someone would just wake up one day in the middle of that and not know how or why they were there - it was a long drive and I had a lot of time to make up a story in my head and share with Ry- lucky him!), and stopping in a town called Jackson for lunch, our travels were not too eventful driving from Michigan to South Dakota. The scenery was always changing so that helped. No one puked and everyone was in a good …
