Running Out of Time and ARGH!

September 18, 2012 By Paul Yeatman

While saving my second last assignment, I wound out with an out of memory error.  Now when I try to open the file, I get a “file not readable error”.  Given it is 01:00hrs and my work is due in 2 days, I’m not too happy.  Especially if I cannot resurrect the file and I have to start again from scratch.

One that was partially irritating was starting the packaging subject with one lecturer and ending with another. Three weeks into it, the first lecturer liked where I was going with my box (a sort of egg carton 6 pack ice cream container.  I roll up last week and we have a different teacher and this one cans my design – I  have to start from scratch.  Fark!  Not that it would have been a problem if my damn file would open!

Phew, after closing some programs, disaster averted!
