Well you know when things are going ok, but a few little things happen (frustrations?) just keep nagging at you?

Well I had one of those days today.

Finally got home from work, fired up my laptop, and found that what I had emailed myself to work on tonight was ... a WAY earlier version. Like, practically prehistoric - it hadn't saved ANY changes from hours and hours of work ... even though I save things VERY frequently plus have autosave turned on ...

So I have just been BACK to work and found it in my Latest Documents list ... and opening it from there DOES bring up the changes ... Have printed it, saved it in two different locations, and changed the file name ... BUT I had a massive stress there for a bit ... 7 chargeable hours would have been down the drain ...

Anyway my point is this. For me it's sooo often just the culmulation of little things ... that individually and in moderation are FINE and just part of everyday life ... but building up they get me so cross!

My favourite cd at the moment is from Trinity Roots (dub, jazz, hiphop, reggae Aotearoa fusion) and these lyrics from a track keep popping into my head ...

It's the little things ... that make you mad
It's the little things ... that wreck your life
It's the little things ... that break you down
It's the little things ... that really matter ...



Anyone else feel the same way????
