novapsycheI wrote an entire poem on MS Word, something I rarely do, because I felt the bite of the poetry bug. It's important that I sense this bite, as it occurs rarely these days.
I'd just put on the finishing touches. I copied it to the clipboard, then pressed the window button for Firefox. Both windows minimized, then wouldn't open. Yes, I'm at the library.
The desk attendant moved me to an adjacent machine and, after I gave all indications that I didn't want the machine shut down, said they would work on retrieving the document, if possible.
This reminds me that I really should stick to my normal manner of producing poems: writing them longhand.
Update: The IT folks were able to retrieve the data and print the document. Yay! Still, I think I will take this as a cautionary tale.
