Oh, God. Don’t even.
I had a really important editing job that needed to be done quickly so I was waiting before ordering the new computer (and I’ve decided to go with a Windows computer — long story), so I am still doing the two-computer thing. Except I am not really using the main one, except to do one thing for one client that requires a specific program that’s only on the main. Because it is extremely dodgy at this point. So I am spending 90% of my time on the spare.
It’s going.
I was finally able to do a Facebook call on it today! That was cool. It hasn’t worked until now. So one good thing. Although the volume was completely borked. I had it up to the highest setting and I could still hardly hear my friend.
I’ve had issues with files saving. Even after freaking checking the dates and times to see if they saved. Even after getting that lovely “do you want to overwrite this file?” message. THEY DON’T FREAKING SAVE. I am not kidding. I’d go to pull a file up from the day before and none of my changes would be there…a serious problem when you are editing and you are on a deadline.
So I started emailing myself the file every day after I was done.
The one day I freaking needed that emailed file? IT WOULDN’T LOAD.
I’m telling you, I’ve never had so many problems in my entire life with two computers. They work — but when the important stuff needs to work…well…then they don’t. And I don’t even know what’s wrong. I take all the necessary precautions. I save in multiple locations. I run my scans. I do everything I’m supposed to do.
I’m just freaking cursed.
I really can’t wait for the new computer so I can put all of this behind me. It’s been really stressful, and I need a break. Today’s actually my day off. After turning in the editing job, I decided to give myself that break because God damn it, I deserve it. Especially after doing hundreds of pages in less than a week.
And now it is time for bed.
Pray for me.
