Argh! I should practice what I preach

April 18th, 2007

I’ve got a little tip for you today. It’s a no-brainer really, but obviously I don’t have a brain because I failed to do it.

I’ve been working on an article for one of my blogs, and I had done a TON of research and this article was turning out to be huge. I was really proud of this article too. It’s probably one of the best I’ve written in a long time.

Supper time rolled around and I left my file open on my desktop to go feed my kids. (I’m sure you can already guess what happened by now.) After supper was finished I had to watch American Idol because I’ve been having AI withdrawls. All this time my awesome article is sitting in my computer waiting for me to finish it.

So I’m sitting on the couch waiting to hear what Simon has to say about Melinda Doolittle’s performance when I hear a click. I look over to the computer and almost have a stroke. My wonderful, beautiful, darling little son has just UNPLUGGED THE COMPUTER!

So I guess the tip of the day would be to Save Your Work! Now I’m trying to write the article again except this time is blows chunks. Don’t leave your work sitting unsaved on your computer because you never know when the power will go out, your program will unexpectedly close, or your son will yank the cord out from the wall.
