Turned the computer on last night and got a black screen saying something about being unable to find a disk. Tried turning the thing off, taking out the cd in the drive, turning the thing off harder, ctrl-alt-delete did absolutely nothing. Tried to remember the last time I saved the thesis, had tea, read a book, had a shower, rang husband. (Note careful use of avoiding the problem techniques). Gibbered to the cat.
Remembered I had put a floppy in the drive last night looking for some old data. Took it out. Computer started up fine. Felt like a fool. Saved the thesis, twice. Felt too stupid to do any work, went to bed!
