library computers should die

This post is purely for my frustrationary release mechanisms. (yes I made up a word - Im allowed to)

For once I had been systematic with my study.

I had been typing out detailed notes to a text-book called Talley & O'Connor (Only the most important textbook for being a doctor in Australia- ask anyone)

I'd gotten through 3-and a half chapters (of about 10 that I need to go through) which converted to about 15 pages of notes in Word.

Due to my inability to study at home - I do all this in the library - and I had done some work on it last night and saved it onto my trusty USB called Larry. (LG)

Now, Larry has been a trusty servant since I got him on sale at Harvey Norman - and I have never had any relationship issues with Larry, so I figure he's all the back-up I need. When things are going well with larry, theres no need to unload my thoughts onto my laptop Toby (Toshiba) - I became complacement, and had no other copy of this particular peice of work.

But today - the evil Library computer (lets called her "The Evil Witch From Neverending Story" - from memory, as a kid I thought she was the most evillest witch of them all) decides to corrupt Larry.

But TEWFNS is smart - she doesnt corrupt all of Larry. She uses stealth and goes straight to the one thing I desperately needed from Larry at this time - and just like that, with one twitch of her nose, she wastes a good 12+ hours of work.

And, as every Fable from Aesop must end, here is the moral:
BACKUP YOUR WORK PEOPLE.
