I think the OP is trying to say:
1) started spell upgrade
2) started lab upgrade
Both were supposed to take the same time... but the lab finished, and there was time left on the spell upgrade...
But then s/he spent the saved elixir on the drill. The timer on the heal spell moved up so it was done in 20 min.
So s/he is mad about upgrading his/her drill and not barbs...
I think.
We had a thread on this a while ago and I can't find it. Someone said that upgrades pause, but another had pictures of it not being that way anymore. The upgrade in the lab is done, but the timer says it isnt... until 20-30 min later.
To the OP: don't be mad, it's just a game. The drill was a good upgrade. Go back to farming and don't get angry.
