And so salvaging of my work begins. It appears that I've been rather pessimistic with my initial damage assessment. Thankfully I've got backups on my external hard disk, so I've only lost work from last week, and even then, there are some files still recoverable since I sent them to certain people via email, so all isn't lost. The plans for this week's combined enrolment are unfortunately lost for good, but I still have a hardcopy of the notes I made during the last meeting. That, plus my goldfish memory should probably be enough to keep things running. Oh and some of my contacts definitely have to be recreated in Outlook, which is rather annoying. I'm still trying to make an inventory of what I saved in the laptop within last week, but things look pretty good, at least as far as my data is concerned.

I'm still reorganising my emails into their folders. Feel like crying. Boo hoo hoo.
