Always Hit Save
Seriously "Weird Al"is absolutely hilarious. Em and Kylie this made me think of you guys!!
Today I am giving you a friendly warning, ALWAYS HIT SAVE. ALWAYS.
Sunday night all I had to do was add the link to Ms Mystery Case (next weeks host of I Must Confess with the topic of Greatest Fears) when I was interrupted by a baby who did not feel the need to go to sleep even though it was an hour past his bedtime. I closed the lid on the lappy thinking I would be back to finish it once he went to sleep. Another hour or so later and he finally went to bed. So did I and never opened the computer again.
I wasn't that worried as I was getting up early so I knew I could finish it off and have it ready to go before 6am.
Yesterday I grabbed the lappy, opened it up, finished the post which was still open, hit publish and it would not comply. I swore for a while, hit save then refreshed. Well it only saved from where I was up too on Sunday night. I swore again then finished it off.
Moral of the story- ALWAYS HIT SAVE.
Now I have imparted these words of wisdom please enjoy the new Weird Al song. He has a whole new album but I could only share #wordcrimes, the others are on his website and there are some real corkers!! I also added two songs of the week. I am loving these songs!!
Linking up this cautionary tale with Essentially Jess for #ibot.
The liebster I promised will be for next week as I have a slight case of woman flu.

Weird Al will be making English teachers around the world cheer a deafening amen.
ReplyDeleteI would have been frustrated to redo what I'd already started. I'm constantly hitting save whenever I make a change on a post on my blog and you can see at least a dozen 'revised' messages on my post in the editing mode. I think being a mother makes me anal about saving my work cause I don't have time to redo it. :)
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I will remember to save and sadly, I don't, but thankfully haven't lost anything that couldn't be recreated without too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Lovely Lady !
Me xox
Not the dreaded woman flu! Get better soon and yes to saving - just wish I knew how to back up! x
ReplyDeleteBTW, haven't seen this and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteOne more comment - ahh Andy x
ReplyDeleteOh Ann, that is awesome! I love it! And how freaking annoying is it when shit goes down and does not save!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this I LOVE IT! PS my blog sabotages saving all the time.
ReplyDeleteArgh, don't you hate it when that happens!!! Happened to me before and I nearly cried!!
ReplyDeleteOh feck... this annoys me to the point of tears, nothing worse. Just what you needed to start off your Monday I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBecause I haven't commented on blog posts in a while from my phone I have been signed out of google.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I commented before I signed in and lost mh comment. I just hope it went to oike a spam folder cauae the blogging world is like "whos salz?".
Anyways I wrote something along the lines of I have lost more blog posts in the last 6 months then I have in my blogging career. Hate it.
My computer died last Thursday in the middle of a post. Thankfully I had hit save and I still have the post. Just waiting for pics now. :)
ReplyDeleteI was at the end of a post a couple of weeks ago which was an absolute brain dump that I definitely wouldn't be able to replicate when I accidentally closed the tab. Thankfully wordpress had autosaved and so I only lost my call to action!
ReplyDeleteWeird Al is back!
ReplyDeleteAren't those madden boys cute? :)
I am always making sure I hit the save button. The little time I have to sit down and actually write something I wouldn't want to lose it!
