I returned to my project brief late this afternoon to put the finishing touches on my assignment before the morning. I couldn’t believe it, after making some minor audio adjustments suddenly none of my audio was playing at all! It had to be minor technical issue however I had to redo all the audio because I had absolutely no idea what was happening! Actually on the verge of tears, I sat there freaking out about how I was going to do each piece one by one and then I thought of the guest lecturer! Thinking doesn’t do ANYTHING. As I said, first time at editing. It can only get better from here and I think it did. I deleted it all and started again. This one is better than the last.
OMG! I was writing my latest blog post today which was around 800 words. I was entering it directly onto the WordPress page and occasionally hitting ‘update’. I got to a point where I was happy with what I had done… I thought it was pretty good! So, I again hit ‘update’ and for some reason, WordPress gave me an error message and I lost an entire morning’s work!!
I too nearly cried. I swore a lot and made animalistic noises that were very undignified but then I worried that the neighbours might call the authorities complaining about a disturbance next door.
I had to force myself to get back on the horse (no pun intended) but I don’t think my work improved on the second run. I must have lost the fervor or something.
Anyway, it’s done now and all is well that ends well.
Sending much empathy, tears and kudos for getting it better the second time round.
