When hard drives attack

I'm irritated. Last night when I booted up my computer, the hard drive began making a nice clicking noise. Not good. I'm not pleased. There's a lot of stuff I need to get off of there. I backup all of my normal documents daily to an off-site Internet provider (happens in the background), but there is still a lot of stuff that I don't have, like photos waiting to be burned to DVD, Photoship files for my sites, etc.

I don't think it's impossible to save the stuff that's on there, but what a pain in the ass. It's an 80 gig drive that's not even that old, perhaps a year old.

The biggest problem is that I pretty much would rather be doing ANYTHING else this weekend.
