WYMJ Weekender, June 27

Down below you will find all that is left of this post, which weighed in over 2 dozen links.  I saved the draft at 8:48 and again at 9:47.  I watched the site autosave it at least a dozen times.  When I clicked the preview button, I had to sign in again.  It is all gone.

I take this post pretty seriously.  Six hours of reading, gleaning, and double checking went into tonight’s work.  It’s late and I don’t have the heart to try to reconstruct tonight.  I am so sorry.  I will cut my writing time short tomorrow and find as many of those links as I can.

Sometimes technology sucks.  I’ve never trusted it completely, and this is why.  The log says I saved the damn drafts and the flicker of autosave was also witnessed by hubby.  And it’s gone.

    Oh B.J. – how frustrating. I know the feeling as it has happened to me. The links will be all the more appreciated due to your hard work. Sending happy thoughts.

    I totally feel for you! The same thing has happened to me on more than one occasion. I think I die a little inside when I work hard on a post, then something happens and it disappears into the abyss of the internet.

    Your posts are always great, so don’t let it get you down too much!
