Frustrated

Last week I pulled out my portfolio assignment to update some information and to try to finish it up to turn in. I pulled out my disk that I have been saving it to and it would not come up. It said the disk was not formatted. I began to freak out because I spent all this time last month adding standards to it and I did not print them out or did not write it down on paper. I just figured that it was on a disk, I can just keep adding to it and I will print it all at the end when I am done. No, not a good idea. My first mistake was not saving it to the hard drive and then since I have been having trouble with my computer I should have saved it to a second disk. So for the past week I have been trying to redo some of the standards that I didn't write down or print out. I really hated computers last week but then I began to think that I should have taken precautions for such a big assignment. So learn from my mistakes always print out at least you will have a hard copy.

  1. Yikes! That bites. Maybe you could take the disk to some a computer geek to see if the files that you saved on the disk could be extracted. I feel your frustration. It's happened to me too.

  2. Sorry to hear that my friend. I have been in IT for awhile now and I know that losing files is something that you will not enjoy. I always tell people to have a backup plan to the point that you should even email the file to yourself if it is not too big to upload. With Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and others there is so much space to waist. So give it a try!!!!
