So, it goes something like this....
All day long someone is usually sitting at the computer typing in logs on each kid... things they do, interactions, moods, plans, etc. Today I was sharing the wealth with another staff on this task... in between my regular tasks of cooking meals, answering doors, taking calls, etc. It's getting close to shift end and I am wrapping up logs for 25 youth. No biggy. All is good on the homefornt... until... I close everything out and remember I need to go back to one specific youth's log and add a few things I had overlooked. Still no biggy. I do the multiple click sequence and finally get his log open, scroll down to where I type in the info... and low and behold... The field is blank!!
No worries... I got this. I'll just type it all back in... It's all still fresh in my mind. I finish and save and close it all out. Hmmmmm.... I wonder if I should check another just to see if everything is still there? I pick another youth's name and go through the click sequence/process... OMG Noooooo!!!!There's NOTHING in her field either!!
I'm beginning to freak just a bit...
Frantically I open another log... and another... and another!! There is nothing in any of them!! All my work is lost in the nether regions of cyber space!! I'm at the point of laughing hysterically, tearing up from frustration, and blowing a gasket from sheer anger!!
I had to sit behind the computer an extra hour retyping EVERYTHING!!
Yeh, needless to say, I was a little more than pissed this evening...
