Dude....I TOTALLY screwed up today. It was my turn to do the powerpoint presentation at our church, and I had all the lyrics for 6 songs, the pastor's sermon, including pictures that he had requested, and a space for a video that he wanted to present - over 70 pages of an hour-and-a-half sermon. I'd spent several hours last night and this morning finalizing everything.

And despite saving it multiple times, and copying all related files to CD in case something went wrong.........something went wrong.

My presentation disappeared.

I had less than a half-hour to recreate as much as possible, and most of it had to be made up during the presentation (and let me tell you, making up a powerpoint presentation while simultaneously presenting the powerpoint presentation is a bitch of a juggling act.)

I was soooooooooooooo pissed, I almost walked away from the church (movie theater, in our case. ) Needless to say, it pretty much got done, but a few important things had to be dropped. Overall, it worked, but I never want to go through that again.

"Budha said it was through pain. Jesus said it was trhough love. I say it's both."

There's a difference?
