The good thing about having this stupidstitious belief about August is that it makes me more cautious than usual. like for example what just happened now. Hearing the thunder outside made me think of the possibility of power fluctuation due to a...i dont know...weather disturbance? Knowing its August, i quickly decided to save all the files im working on in my flash drive and transfer my work from the work PC to my laptop. after making the transfer, since i cant afford the work PC crashing again (since my work emails are stored there), i shut it down. less than 5 minutes from transferring the files (and i havent even started resuming my work on the laptop), the power fluctuated. Ha! im ahead of you August. if i didnt make the transfer, i would have just slapped my forehead and lost a whole day's worth of work. well, if the PC crashed, that would be a month's worth of work...and irreversible damage due to the lost files.
i guess ive improved my disaster risk management skills.
