NOT MY FAVOURITE DAY OF MY LIFE

Grrrrr!

I've been working on this assignment for probably three hours, now when my computer did the random shut down that it often does. I know my computer has a tendancy to do this so I save my work often, and I have the timed save set to every 5 min so I wasn't to concerned. I rebooted my computer and went to open the file. I was surprised to find that it had not saved most of my work, only about 1 paragraph. Relief came when a little window popped up saying that there was a time-saved back up and asking me if I wanted to open it. Whew! I clicked open and there was the assignment in it's entirety. Better re-save it again. So I go to SAVE AS, give it a new name and click save. Then it tells me that I do not have the right to perform this action, closes the program and now my assignment is lost again. Feel like crying.

On a less unfortunate note....

I had some trouble on the drive to church today. I was on Circle Drive, where the speed limit is 90km, so I was going 100km. It's like a bypass, you can get from one side of town to the other in like 10min because there is no lights. So I was driving happily along, when in a matter of seconds (really, no exaggeration) the windows fogged up hard core. I tried to wipe it off with my mitts but it wasn't just a little bit frosty, there was a thin sheet of ice. I would have pulled over but on this road there is no place to pull over. So I am driving 100km and I can't see out my window. I tried to stop breathing and opened the window but that didn't really help. And I hadn't preheated my car so the air wasn't blowing warm enough to melt it. My aving grace was a small space at the bottom of the windshield that I could see almost clearly out of, so with that and driving with the window open in -25C I made it to church safely. Although I did pray everytime I changed lanes.

On the bright side...

After church I had to run to the university to pick up a textbook that I had forgotten on friday. There is really very few parking spaces within walking distance of where my locker is and I was going to run in and out really super fast. Plus I figured no one would be out writing tickets at 11am on a sunday morning. So please don't hate me, it hurt me to do it. I parked in a handicapped parallel parking spot. I'm not proud of myself. I have actually never seen those stall used before and there were three other stalls so I was certain I would be back in time before all four were actaully needed, which I was. However, I was wrong about there not being anyone writing tickets on a sunday morning. As I turned the corner and approached my car I saw a dude with his pen and paper, taking down my liscence plate. I figured I was going to get a doozy of a ticket, which I fully deserved. I walked over and said hi, and waited for him to give me my ticket. He said hello, them scribbled on his pad and walked away. No ticket, thank goodness.

P.S. Anyone got any mad computer skills that can help me find the backup file in Windows?
