#save again

I just realized how many blogs I’m following right now!

That moment when you try to convert the citations in your first big paper from one form of academic formatting to another and the whole document turns into squares and dots and squiggly lines of Elvish code. 

No fixes worked. No undoing the damage. I tried. 

I was just shy of 7000 words. I now have 0 words.

The paper must be submitted before I leave for work on Monday morning. It is now 11:00 pm on Saturday night. 

I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. 

I will be saving often. Multiple versions. 

I dunno if its just me, and my photoshop hates me or maybe it happens to others.  There are at least three things that frustrate me to the point where I want to throw my laptop out the window cause of Photoshop. 

1. Delayed Actions:  For some bizarre reason, photoshop will suddenly slow down while I'm painting. I'll be an hour in and working on maybe one or two layers and for the first hour everything is fine and working smoothly. And then the next thirty minutes I'm practicing breathing techniques as I wait for Photoshop to catch up with my brush action

2. Asking to Save after I just Saved: I didn't touch anything.  I didn't make any additional changes.  I just wanted to close photoshop and it's asking me if i want to save. And because i'm paranoid I click Save. And then have to wait a freaking hour cause photoshop decides to take it's sweet time saving when thirty seconds prior is saved in ten seconds. 

3. Photoshop has Crashed unexpectedly.  Need i explain?
