Reaching new heights of bad luck - Part 2

Clearly, my bad luck has a major crush on me. Its so freaking possessive, that I never get a chance to break up with it. Not that I don't love it or something, I do. But you know, it gets creepy at times. It follows me wherever I go. Stalking kinds. Poor thing has insecurity issues. Uh. I really think if I ever do break up with it, it will do something disastrous...

:D

Nevertheless, continuing with my continuous crossroads with bad luck, this time its my Research work (whatever there is). So, there is this code that I need to run. And obviously, I was happy that there were over four computers available to get all knocked up with the code-running process. So I enthusiastically run the code for different conditions on all of them. And guess what, the bad luck steps in. Three of the four computers run out of memory! (apparently some mldivide problem in MATLAB). No worries, so now that one computer that didn't run out of memory (it has some kick ass memory, so I've heard), I was intent on running all my codes on that. 

I run the code. It runs, runs, runs, keeps on running, keeps on running, keeps on running... And running. So I decide to head back home and come the next day to check on it. Obviously, that computer isn't that slow that it wouldn't stop running the next day. It did stop running. I jump to the upper orbital. I save the figure and clear. And run another code, wait for another day, process repeats. Then, then, I realise I needed some values from the first code I ran. Remember the clear, (it was on MATLAB). So all data gone. Nevertheless, I still stick on and run it again. Haah, but this time I'm smart. I save the necessary data. And process that data again for some other results. But I don't get the results I expected. I keep thinking where I made a mistake in the code, find a few, correct them, but again the results are strange. THEN, then I ask myself ,"You crazy ass, which all values did you save in the first place?". And guess what, by the end of this question, I'm slapping myself like crazy (It was looking crazy :P ). So in the end, I RAN that fuckin' code, waited for God knows how many hours, just to NOT save the data, AGAIN!! 

:) This, my dear friends, is called being engaged to bad luck... But some call it Research.

(PS: I'm planning to do Post-doc too! I have this faith that my world will come crushing down then.)
