That's happened to me a lot since my computer crashes randomly. It's incredibly frustrating and makes me want to smack the keyboard.

That's thee reason why i dont have a tablet anymore, once I was working so hard on a gay page I was dying to do, and I just was working on it so hard, It took lots of time, and While i was drawing thee screen went all black, I got frozen then I realized "I got fucked" then I did what anyone would do normally after working so hard on a piece of shit, broke my tablet

In senior year I had this important English essay due the next day. I printed it and turned it in the next day. Then I had to do some revisions to present it in group. When I checked my usb, more than half of the essay wasn't there. That's when I knew I didn't save it and had to retype it. T.T

Backups.

always have backups. always keep your initial rough work.

I just start over again. Happens every now and then, I'm used to it now. -sigh-
I usually save it while working though, just in case..

Doing essay in the cafeteria in college. Did something like 8 pages. Essay due in next period. Electrical fluctuation. Anger. Red. Dead friend beside me.

Wouldn't be the first time. BUT! Depending on if it was a labor of love or a rare moment of genius, seriously I've rage cried over things like that.

happened to me often. I just tell myself fml. And then tell myself that without these small problems, I wouldnt enjoy my beer as much at the end of the week

I always macro a quicksave button. Always.

I get paranoid about stuff like this. I back up stuff everywhere. On my computer, on an external hard drive, on a USB, online, through email, etc.

I've heard horror stories of grad students losing their entire dissertations and research papers. At that point I think I would just kill myself.
