Almost lost my entire photo library today! O.O

My USB port literally FELL OFF my hard drive into the case it was in so I had to open my case and either solder on the piece or just hold it there and hope it works...I literally had the entire case taken apart with the USB port only SITTING on the terminals that send the info to the drive. I told people STAY OUT OF THE COMPUTER ROOM. But no one listened so it got bumped and I almost lost it all again...then someone let the cats in! GAAHH, CATS OUT NOW! XD

After about three hours of work I managed to save all my music and pictures but it was a shitty experience...especially since I was JUST at the phone store for an hour trying to get a new phone because mine is basically dead. That is a whole different stupid story. XD

(I even have old files from my childhood back in '97!)
