Caffeinated Crash

For those of us that stay up all night only to regret it the next day

I know for a fact

That somewhere it's 9

But not here

Here in my room time has stopped

Even though my laptop says it 2:30 am

I knew better

Really I did

But that didn't stop me

I'm hyped up on caffeine

Soda and sugar of all kinds

Trying desparetly to finish a project

That I should have done last week

I'm almost done though

After 6 hours of typing I'm through

And as I hit the print button

The unthinkable happens

My laptop crashes

6 hours worth of work

Gone

I freak out

Screaming and carrying on

Yelling at the source of my pain

Stupid computer

Work!

I scream

Repeatedly hitting the start button

It boots up

And I attempt to recover my work

I still can

The only problem

Because of the crash

Recovering my work

Will take 8 hours

I hate it when my laptop crashes

Author's Note

My mom's laptop has done this to her before. Waking up at 3 am to your mother screaming bloody murder is not pleasant in the slightest
