Yup, another case of files go bye bye.
Yesterday, an outside engineer was using my room. In the first hour he managed to wipe out all my D-Control Console Prefs. Which is annoying, but can be put back to normal after a couple sessions. I got most of it back for him and helped him get his session all patched and running. Things were running seemingly smooth all afternoon. So I left the building at 3:30 to run some errands. Then, my boss calls me at 6:30. Says he has no good news for me. Turns out the freelancer, completely erased and reformatted my external hard drive. He plugged in a new drive that needed to be formatted, and when he went to do that, he wiped out mine instead. Even though it was named Miko's Audio Drive 2.
Most of the drive's contents were backed up to another drive, but the most recent working projects from the last few weeks were not. So my question is what do I do? Do I attempt to get the data recovered? Do I make the engineer pay me money to start over on the record I'm working on?
I'm more sad than angry in this scenario. However, emotions aside, I think I'm owed some sort of compensation. I just need help determining what it should be.
