Computer Madness

Lemme just save this file from one of my classmates for this group project we have.

Right click, okay, select the flash drive.

What was that?

Wait – where's my folder? What happened to my folders?

Cancel cancel open flash drive.

Omigosh. The folder's gone. Maybe I accidentally moved it into another folder?

Search the flash drive.

Or to the hard drive?

Search the hard drive. Shortcuts from Monday night, but no actual folder.

Or to the other flash drive?

Search the other flash drive.

Repeat until the definition of crazy (doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result) sinks in.

God, can you please just make my folders magically reappear?

A lot of the stuff I need is on Blackboard; I can just re-download it. Hopefully, I won't need to resubmit an assignment I've previously done…

Well, at least I have the folder for my other class, and my paper that's due on next Tuesday.

Small comforts are no less worthy of taking than large ones.

Lemme just copy my paper to the hard drive just in case.

Omigosh. The folder's not there. SNAP!

OmigoshOmigoshOmigosh.

All of my notes. All of my research. I have to re-write my paper, and I'm already behind in my other class…

(Cursing more than ever the fact that I wasted Sunday watching the Academy Awards instead of doing homework.)

Search the hard drive and the folder. Nothin' but shortcuts.

God, can you please PLEASE just make my folders magically reappear?

**********

How many other folders disappeared?

Are you kidding me? Only this quarter's classes have disappeared into some unknown internet/computer/technical portal?

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
