everythings gone. my art that I was working on. all of it. months of 3D work, flash work and artwork. stuck in a void.
THIS is why I fucking HATE MAC COMPUTERS! they fucking FAIL at the simplist of tasks, crash all the time, and don't even let you know when something is drastically wrong!!
first, I get laid off. not my fault, worked at a printing company and the economy is so bad, nobody has money to advertise anymore. work just got too slow. so they let me put my work on cds. so I zip them, and burn them. but this mac I had to use as my work comp, was shit, ok? so just to make sure it worked, i tried to unzip them from the files. now, I'd already gotten rid of everything else because they were rushing me. and NEITHER unzip.
so, I decide oh, I'll just unzip the originals and burn those onto a cd! so, I try to unzip. the first one, the 2.6 gig file with all my misc funny things and random images, opened fine. the OTHER, the one with MONTHS of work, fucked up!
so, I call my manager over, and ask him to try restore a backup. turns out, da dadaaa! the fucking thing has been crapped out for weeks! and never mentioned it! it was plugged in, but apparently weeks ago a backup failed and it hadnt made attempts since! so to resolve it, it wiped itself clean! NOTHING was on it!
we put it on the server, try another computer. now, this is 2.4 gigs of stuff, k? still doesn't work. but I HAVE to leave now cuz the managers are gone! so, there I am. out of a job, and months of work went down the shit hole. space frigats with half finished interiors, my prized project: teddy bear dragon. all of it, just STUCK on a cd, that has a full 2.4 gigs used up, and NOBODY to this day can fucking open!!!!
so, it's perfect! just as all my dreams were coming together: job transfer, back to school, moving out, all about to happen. I even found appartments for 450 a month with paid utilities! right between the other company location and ITT Tech!! I would have made it! AND have it made!
but no. fucking, NO. all gone. done. burned. stemmed.
I'm sorry, but that new art will have to wait.
... oh, but the private sector is doing FINE, he says...he's creating JOBS, he says... so why the FUCK am I, and half the people I know, jobless and losing their jobs?! HUH?!?

They say they're creating jobs because politics is nothing but a popularity contest and they'll say whatever they can to get your support. It's not until after they've earned said support that they actually take into genuine consideration whether or not they can actually accomplish what they said they would do, rather than figuring that detail out beforehand since that's not what people would want to hear.
