Despite their best efforts, they couldn't recover the data from my external hard drive. A whole decade of my digital life, gone in an instance, just because I didn't know a bit about computer maintenance.

I'll have to start from scratch, redo various projects, track down files, write back to people I've commissioned, change all of my passwords, etc.

I'm going to be very busy today.

And to top it all off, my router isn't working, so I probably should replace that too.
