I just spent the past three hours on my stupid biology project just for me to accidentally hit ctrl+w (shortcut for closing a tab) instead of shift+w before I could even save anything, I just lost three hours of my life to my stupid ring finger.
Why would you even put shift and ctrl so close to each other on the keyboard? Did someone not see how something like this might happen?

I had a teacher in college that thought it was his job to teach us to save work often. He would walk by our computers and jiggle the cords causing us to lose power. Everyone hated this guy, but I guarantee you that everyone of us still hits Ctrl+S every five minutes or so. Sorry about your lost work!

Oh wow, that's mean! :icon_eek: But very effective... That's probably what you call a genius dick move.

Also, I'm angry because I just cut my hair, and turned out too short. I hate when that happens. HATE. IT. :icon_evil:
I can feel your pain. However, thank goodness hair grows...Ever so slowly when you are wanting to grow much faster.

This wasn’t a word document though, ctrl+s wouldn’t work, every time you saved on the website I was using, you would automatically exit out of your project.

Sorry to hear you're in a spot of pain, my friend. Hope you feel better asap...
Those are nasty buggers. I hope the appointment can at least bring some relief, get well soon!

Although I pulled my back a week before fair entries were due, except for sleeping pretty much trying to recover, I worked like a dog preparing four items. I could have done more had I allowed a little more time, and even if my back and right leg weren't killing me, I could have moved faster and done more. The main thing which got me through it was telling myself I would call the chiropractor when the ordeal was over. The day after fair entries were turned in I called the office only to learn he was taking his last patients that day before leaving on a lengthy vacation! What kind of sadist goes on vacation right after fair entries are due? Don't they know people kill themselves preparing for the fair?

Then three of my four entries, including one which turned out really cool and was really hard to make, got lousy red ribbons and only my Halloween Tree got the Superintendent's Award!

There are no other chiropractors in the county, and the one massage therapist takes forever to get into, so I drove to my doctor's office in the next county and got a prescription for massage at the hospital therapy department in my town. My insurance won't pay so it will be out of pocket but I'm at the point where I'm desperate as the pain has spread from the original pulled muscle and now pretty much everything hurts.
