My presentation on Migraine almost caused me a major headache. Everything fell apart in the last minute and then miraculously came back together in the last second!
I had finished preparing the presentation about an hour early and was ready to go. Unfortunately the CD burner was giving errors and my USB drive was in the car. As B was just finishing her presentation preparation too and was about to burn it on a CD I called her up and said I would email it to her so she could add mine also.
The email reached her in 5 minutes.
Blackout - total power cut!
Luckily B had a laptop and the battery would last 1 hour. She could burn the CD. I got ready to leave after shutting down my desktop.
Setback - she had not yet downloaded my attachment and the internet did not work without power!
In the meantime, I retrieved my USB drive from the car and restarted my computer (hooked up to the UPS), and hurriedly tried to transfer the presentation to the USB drive.
Disaster - just when I opened the folder and copied he file the battery ran out on my UPS and the comp died on me. I had needed just a few more seconds.
Just when I ran out of ideas my silent prayers received enlightenment and the power turned back on.
I hurriedly turned my desktop on and stared at the blue screen of death - CRASHED!!
I restarted the system again and after some brief hiccups Windows opened and behaved itself. Quickly I transferred the file to my USB drive and scooted to the library. I was a little late but well armed - with my USB drive.
The presentation went on without a hitch and did not show any signs of the last minute damasha that had occurred.
I wonder who is in such perfect control even through all these technological confusions and madnesses. I guess you know Who!
He lives!
