Work, Relatable and Awkward: Sounds bad

Sounds bad

Today, I accidentally deleted an audio file for my first professional video project. Impossible to do a retake, because the production budget was so tight. The audio from the camera sounds bad and file recovery program still can't help. Also, the deadline is this week. FML

Today, a teacher asked me to edit a video of her class. Unfamiliar with cameras that work with video tape, I accidentally recorded over her video. The footage is impossible for me to get back. FML

Today, I went to turn in a coding project a few days early. After months of working on a code and saving backups, everything is gone or corrupted. I have to start from square one and turn it in less than 48 hours from now. FML

Today, I was editing sound on a recording of a live music show. The woman who hired me said she wanted less reverb. I told her that this is how the recording was and I can't magically remove acoustic reverb from something recorded in a church. FML

Today, I was at a wedding. After videotaping the ceremony for a few minutes, my memory was full. I went to delete another video. I accidentally played the loudest video I had. No one was looking at the bride or groom anymore. FML

Today I was trying to show off to my mother about how much detail I placed into my group project that I had to do tomorrow. I then proceeded to delete the project thinking that I was just removing it from my phone.... Everyone's research and my 3 day's of hard work went with it. FML.

Have you tried calling Customer Service from whatever program you used? Sometimes they can do things we’re not able to from our side. Sometimes we don’t realize there was an undelete button somewhere. You’re not the first person that accidentally deleted something you wanted to keep. You certainly won’t be the last. Sometimes what you deleted is only still available for a couple of days. I’m sorry this happened to you and I wish you well.

Hopefully you can do good impressions of the actors. How hard can that be?

He's not wrong tho. Failing to back up your files is in fact a rookie mistake.

Especially for such an important project. Last two projects I did for work, I committed to five things to do first, and one of them was set up the backup schedule/format.
