Wow man, teh wots. Art delay, and rant.
11 years ago
Buyer beware! Rant ahead. TL;DR below!
So I had my raffle works next to finished right? And I was working on paper for the secret santa, right? Got up from the family computer, my tablet plugged in, mouse unplugged, flash drive (with mypaint and all my files saved on there), mypaint open and everything. I literally return 30 seconds later and I see my grandma has sat down and it trying to jiggle all the cords out of the computer and my flash drive.
Asked her not to; "please don't touch that", and since she's deaf in one ear I got steadily louder. Out of bloody nowhere my mom descends like an eagle from upstairs and starts screaming at me to let her be, she's not hurting anyone, I'm wrong BLAAAH.
I'm like "I said please, and I said please don't touch that. She's messing with my files and closed my program and *funhouse*ing up my 80 buck tablet." Meanwhile she's still bloody WAGGLING THE THING.
After I physically move her hand (mom's wailing now) that's when she shrugs and stands up. doesn't MOVE, mind you, just stands. I'm saying let me close my stuff properly and she can play solitaire, but she says she's not important enough to bother me, and these other, stupid self-deprecating things.
Mom, of course, chews me out for "viciously yelling" at dear old granny that can't be bothered to ask me if I'm done even though I've told her straight up that I will need the computer all day since I can't use my brother's. Mom leaves to work, right? Okay, now dad comes in. He's saying I should give her more respect and my tone was wrong. Okay. This is the same woman who's tormented me emotionally for 5 years. She's LOST my respect. But fine. I did say please, and I was as polite as I could be to someone who was outright ignoring me, and DEAF (on the side I wasn't on!) in one ear. But raising my voice is never justified! He did the exact same thing to her AS HE WAS TELLING ME THIS so she wouldn't piss herself because she forgot to bring her cane from the comp room!
I mean, seriously. Why am I wrong at all in this? I raised my voice for a deaf old lady with a, quite frankly, stupid level of ignorance that outright ignores me, only after repeating myself a few times as she was ruining a total of 120 dollars worth of electronics? (the flash drive is huge, and old. Ended up costing way too bloody much compared to today).
I just shut everything down properly, hoping nothing was corrupted after getting jacked out of place with programs running, and tried to get my mind off of things. I check after finishing sketches and scanning. Lo and behold, ALL OF THE ART FOR MY RAFFLE WAS CORRUPTED. So It went from mostly finished flats/shading to I now have a rough sketch needing lines (and skewed, which cannot be fixed in mypaint!) for grand prize and my mini arts are gone. So to avoid an utter meltdown I worked on the secret santa. Two days of work, gone. One thing of 5 to show for it. Yeah. Little pissy. Running doubletime while cooking for christmas tomorrow. Which is funny, considering I'm not getting anything for christmas. Parent's are deciding to get me a present for christmas and my birthday since they're a month apart. Eeeyup. All I am asking for is patience, and thank you for reading!
TL:DR -- Grandma effed up my files, everything gone, redoing it, rush order, minor delays, bear with me please, hope you have a better holiday than I'm having/will have
BLERR!
