Your first reaction to all of this is to panic, and that's natural. So it's easier said than done, but don't do it. If you panic, then you're just going to break down and cry in the fetal position at your own self-deemed terrible misfortune. Take a deep breath in and out and refresh your page. If it still won't load, then check your network box. Before you go calling some poor sap down in IT who has to field stupid questions all day, turn it off and then back on. If that still doesn't fix it, then don't panic and remain calm. Praying to whatever higher power you worship is a good idea. If that's not your thing, then meditation is also always a good trick. Take another deep breath in and out and try again. If the third time for some reason isn't the proverbial charm, then take another deep breath in and out before following the next nine steps.
