Today, I returned to work after a restful week-long holiday. Before I left, I'd finished a huge assignment which is due this week. I walk in to find a water pipe has burst just above my desk, flooding our office with water and ruining my computer. Happy New Year to me. FML

Back up your work. And if you'd finished it, why didn't you submit it early? You don't exactly deserve it, but by taking basic steps you could have avoided it.

It's possible the Hard-drive is still salvageable, depending on where the water went. Unless the whole things screwed, see if you can get the IT guy to retrieve the Hard-drive.

even if the computer was drenched, unless it shorted something because u left it on. the information on the HD should still be salvageable, take it you a local computer store and you should be able to pay to get it placed onto a flash drive. Or, if you are lucky, you might be able to just let the computer sit for a long while, once dried out, it may still work.

Put it in RICE. Sounds odd but I swear, try it. Lifehacker says you can recover wet electronics http://lifehacker.com/269427/dry-out-your-soaked-gadgets-in-rice

YDI. You fail at every thing related to computers. Backup, backup, backup. Always backup. $hit send it to your self via email so you always have a back up copy that's on a server and not on a computer.

How does he deserve it? As I said before, the condition of the building is NOT his responsibility. That belongs to someone else, who is supposed to make sure things like that don't happen.

ALWAYS make backups of important files. Always. Goes for personal pictures, important work projects, exam papers, business-related files - anything you'd regret losing. An external hard disc is not very expensive, and if it's just a few small files, get a usb stick, burn them onto a CD or simply email them to your hotmail, and possibly also to a friend or a second hotmail address of your own. There are so many ways to make backups, and it doesn't need to take much time or be expensive. I
