Usually when I write here on Steemit, I'm actually writing right within the allocated 'Create Post' section instead of using a word processing program; unless I think the piece is going to take more time than usual to complete.
After all...I'm a kind of considerate sort of fellow, and hate to hog up bandwidth, slowing down the platform should it be busy at the time. I'd hate to be even partly responsible for blowing out a server because of my callous selfishness.
Last night though...I was anxious to finish the 'Ya Gotta Listen to the Boss' story that I've been writing (In two parts so far) while logged into Steemit and my creative juices began to flow. My memory of the event from years ago was also seemingly intact.
Sooooooo…I just clicked on 'Create Post' and started tapping away like crazy on my keypad :>)
THAT turned out to be a BIG friggin mistake. DAMNIT!!!!!!!!
Right about the time I was almost finished with the piece, I opened another window on my screen for some un-Godly reason. When I went to close it out...
BOINGGGGGG...I closed Steemit by mistake, loosing everything!!!
Yeah, yeah...I know...I should have been using @steempeak or something like that, where I might have been able to just log back in and see my work saved, but I didn't do that.
I also didn't open an app to periodically 'save' what I was writing, for safety's sake.
WHY...!?!?!?!?
Sometimes I hate myself.
What's worse...I did it a second time after logging back in and writing a furious, profanity laced, rant about it.
I had finished my rant...went to open another window to grab a free image from Pixabay, then BOOM...
Yeah...you guessed it...I closed out both windows in error.
I gave up!
Went to sleep.
And...
Now you know the reason for this post.
Well...I gotta go and start working on the final episode of my expose'.
Thanks for reading.
Hope your day has been more pleasant than mine :>(
