You’ve been on this page for a while without saving, which will cause your session to expire. When that happens, you won’t be able to save this page and you could lose any unsaved work.

You don’t have time to think. You act purely on instinct. You click [Continue Working]. You begin to celebrate–but a moment too soon.

The notice pops up on your screen: “This page has been inactive for over 2 hours, and this Learning Suite session may have expired.”

‘But that can’t be true,’ you think to yourself. ‘I clicked the button! I did everything they asked! How could they do this to me? What could I have done differently?’

‘There’s nothing you could’ve done,’ you hear another voice in your head. It’s me. ‘It’s okay. Learn to forgive yourself. It won’t be easy, but you’re not alone. I’m here for you. Click [OK].’

You click the button, defeated.

‘Thank you, The Alternate Universe,’ you think back. ‘I needed that.’

Of course. Anything for our readers.
