I have a little reseller account on which I host a few horsemen's sites.
One of my clients hired me to do some ASP programming for her...ended up being about $1500 worth of work.
Then her office girl, while doing updates, managed to delete the entire site. Of course, she hadn't kept a backup. And the backup I have is out of date. (Except when asked to do specific things for the site, I kept hands-off, because too many cooks spoil the broth.)
We got a backup from tech support, but it is also out of date.
Fortunately, I had kept a copy of the programming I did.
The office girl insists she doesn't know how she managed to delete the site. I'm sure she doesn't, but the fact remains, she did. No point in getting mad at her, I'm sure she feels bad enough. But re-upoading their site isn't how I had planned to spend my day. Grrrr!!!!! |

I've had a Quark file for a book I'm typesetting/editing corrupt today. Quark refers to this as the project needing 'minor' repairs. I save a new copy every day, but when a file ends up corrupting, continuing from earlier stages seems to end up in repeat corruptions. |

Gosh, duh, that's rotten! Can't say anything quite that dramatic has happened to me, but I sure know how you must be feeling. I hope they had the good grace to pay for your time!
The only suggestion I can offer for the future is that the company is offered training -- for an additional fee, or built into the initial fee - for all staff who have back-end access. It may not prevent mistakes, but it does concentrate their minds against that dumb tendency to hand out access to just anyone.
But - what a waste of a day! I think you deserve a tiny reward of your choice this evening

BTW I keep multiple backups of all my stuff in 3 different places so that things like this can't happen. I learned the hard way once how important backups are. 
BBTW, shouldn't this be in the General section? I can't see the 'Film--Related' connection. |

I should hope not...I wouldn't trust my business to a bunch of boys and girls. Shouldn't they be adults? |

Ahh, the age-old debate about when does a boy/girl become a man/woman? I'd say somewhere between 14 and 20 depending on behavioural maturity.  |

I'd say somewhere between 10 and death.  |

Sean. Perhaps your penguin isn't a Greedy Piguin. Maybe it is a blow-Penguin. Like a blow-fish. And it is trying to ward off an enemy by looking extra big and fat and menacing.
