Challenges

Sept. 22, 2008

I had a project that I really liked. It was the Comic Life project I explained earlier. However, I had it saved on a flash drive. I was working on it at my computer at the library I work at. Then we had a windstorm that knocked the power out in most of the county. The library was one of the first places that regained power. Consequently, we had tons of people in and out of the place. Every outlet was used to charge cell phones and plug in laptops. I forgot to lock my flash drive in my drawer, and had left it in my computer. The next day, I realized that it was missing - I can only guess that someone tried to use my outlet and saw it there and felt the need to take it home with them. I can only imagine what they thought of my amazing comic strip, my music collection, a lot of my research on this topic, and my photos of a trip to Myrtle Beach. Anyway, I got to start over from scratch. Luckily, I was given an extension, which I am SO grateful for. With a library conference yesterday and today, and my mom's heart surgery on Thursday, I totally needed it.
