With two days to go before my crit (ie- Today, Monday 5th May, and tomorrow, Tuesday 6th), my external hard drive has chosen this moment to die- taking all of my work with it.
Very fortunately, whilst it was still working this morning I extracted most of what I needed, bar the floor plans. I'm going to try a little later on to get it working, and if it doesn't then I suppose it's off to PC World or some other place to sort out the mess.
Not that I am worried. This crit, after all, is not the be-all and end-all. No, after the crit we have two full weeks to make changes and amendments to our work. So all is not lost if this little hiccup upsets all of my plans.
Now then, I am considering the following. I want to change the roof structure of my details, but because they are on the external hard drive I can't. So I guess the steel roof shall suffice for the crit, to be replaced as soon as is humanly possible afterwards. So long as I have details, which I do, it matters not if the roof is steel or concrete.
Precedent is done, just leaving my client analysis which I shall produce presently and print off in the library.
If all else fails I suppose I can still use the old floor plans I have just for this crit.
So what appears on the surface to be a catastrophe is in fact not nearly so bad as it could have been. If I hadn't printed off my elevations, sections and details when I did I would now be up a certain creek without a certain instrument.
C'est l vie, I suppose.
