You know it's time to request a day off when:
You catch yourself audibly screaming "NO!!!" at your work computer more than once in a 7-day period.
Why are there dozens of ways to irreparably delete or backtrack progress in this software? Most of the time it's only a few seconds, but others it can delete
hours of work without so much as a warning.
I hear you ask me: "Why not just save it or back it up?"
I answer: I mash Ctrl+S every few minutes, and that does allow me to recover my work if it crashes (which it tends to do about 10 times a day). But our software is designed in such a way that every individual structural member is saved as a separate external file, and if you delete it or overwrite it, it replaces the file. If you make a bunch of changes, save, and then notice something is off (which is what happened in this particular case), the software doesn't know what changes to keep and will just delete the whole thing.

DELETED!"
