My work laptop just died. And I did two stupid things. The first one was not having a really recent backup. (I am fairly sure I know when that was, I have made some semi-major changes since then, but they turned out to not be necessary, the ones that were useful were all small ones, and I'm pretty sure I remember them.) The second one was not realising what the clicking noise meant, and running over to Jackdaw's office and grabbing the portable hard drive to do a backup before trying to reboot the computer. (It's an instinctive reaction: something's wrong, save and reboot).
ETA: nevermind, it works again, somehow. IT guy was very nice. I didn't get a single lecture (neither from him or from my supervisor) about not having backed up in the last month.
