There is no amount of profanity that is sufficient to express how I feel right now.
I just spent the better part of the night writing up the longest of my assignments for this unit in my Communication class. The one that was long and difficult, and I left it for last, because I knew it'd be hard to write. That assignment.
After I finished, I closed Word, and went to copy the files on to my USB drive. First, I delete the school folder that's already on there. Then I copy the one from my C:\ and paste it over. At which point I realize...I had somehow, accidentally, been working on my USB drive, not my C:\. That is to say, the files that I just created, and spent all that time writing in? Were in the folder I just deleted. And, since that folder resided on my USB drive, it didn't go to the Recycle Bin, where I could rescue it. Oh, no. It's just gone.
Which means I have to write this entire thing, all over again. After I just finished it.
*Screams*
EDIT @ 11:51PM - Well, I am shocked. I actually managed to remember the biggest part of what I wrote, and was able to re-write it. I'm sure it's not exactly the same, and parts of it feel a bit shaky, but it's mostly there. I will look over it more thoroughly tomorrow, because I am mentally exhausted now, and in no condition to do any serious editing. ...Seriously. I wrote this assignment twice in the span of one day. Fucking hell.
