1L Fall finals

Back off MS Word!

Well, well…
Me: “Hm. I’ve been typing for a long time. Let me save this outline before anything happens...”
I click “save” and what happens?


Computer: “GOTCHA!”

Thankfully there’s a recovery option. I try to save the “recovered” outline and the same thing happens…so I had to copy the outline into a new file…

MS Word shouldn’t mess with me while I’m outling torts. I know my rights and I can make it look like an accident…

    we read the same case book so if (god forbid) anything happens let me know and I’ll send you my semi-awesome outline. 🙂

    *shiver* that’s scary. I had a panic episode when a friend lost all her notes and all her outlines, so now I’m uploading drafts online every so often “just in case”.

    Good luck with Torts! We had our final last night and it was entertaining at least – iguana attacks.

    Someday Google Docs will have an offline client and this won’t be an issue. Until then.
