lol, yeah i know the feeling. last year we came to school about 4 days or so before the animation was due, and the school's server had crashed. we were able to recover most of the models, but we lost ALL the textures. We had to render that night, so we had to re-texture everything in one day.
That computer lab saw much blood, sweat and tears that day. some of us spent 14+ hours working on the animation that day. It was the worst. Everyone felt terrible and the animation turned out about 10-20% less cool than is was origonally supposed to.
The lesson learned is that you shouldn't freak out too much, cuz there will only be more stress later, and you can only handle so much. oh, and back up everything you can. twice. and caffeine is good.

Also, if you pull long meetings, take a break. I force my animators to take a 1-2 hour game break every saturday meeting.
