back to the drawing board

Yesterday I finally finished typing in the notes I missed in Contracts (3 lessons) and Property (4 lessons), and organizing my notes from before and after my two weeks away. All I had left was Legislation (4 lessons) to deal with, and barring any more ups or downs or hospitalizations, I estimated I might be in shape in about a week, since I'd fallen behind on my readings between visiting my mom at the hospital and typing in all the notes.

This morning I found out that Chris ran a Norton utility (hard disk reversion) that was very vehemently not supposed to touch data. It was only supposed to revert system files to their state of a few days ago.

Guess what got deleted. All the files I had worked on. I'm almost right back to where I was when I first got out of the hospital, because I worked on the files on my Palm and on school computers, mailed myself the finished products, and downloaded them onto my hard drive. Which has no record of any of this.

I can't even think of doing this again. But I guess I'm going to have to.

File this under "not worth the bother"

::sigh:: There are days when I really wonder what's up with people. Apparently somebody who was lurking on thursday100plus in the last couple of weeks told a member (who then told me) that she decided not to join because "the moderator doesn't seem to give a sh*t about the entries - no feedback, no nothing!"

Sorry, I haven't publicized my personal problems on t100+ because it's not the forum for my life - that's what this lj is for - but it might have been nice if she'd given me the benefit of the doubt and looked back over the last few months on t100+. I was giving people lots of feedback - I tried to find at least one positive thing to say about almost every entry, especially those that didn't get much fb from other readers. It's just that what with the hysterectomy and my mom's hospitalization from cancer and law school and the kids and life in general, no, I haven't been the ideal moderator lately.

I briefly pondered posting a little explanation/apology on t100+, but then decided it's just not worth it. Some people will simply believe the worst no matter what you do. Besides, this chick was apparently not going to hang out at my lousy feedback-less site anyway, so she probably wouldn't read it.

On that cheery note, I'm off to re-type my ****ing Property notes. And I'll try to keep in mind all the expressions of support and hugs from all of you to counterbalance the ickyness one chickie-poo who I don't even know anyway.
