More tech woes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yesterday was almost an entire day trudging through the world of faulty DNS records, broken telephone cords, unexplained inability to dial outside, which just as suddenly started working again, a lost internet connection that kept me from updating our website database, and various other semi-emergencies. I was so busy putting out fires that when 3PM came around, and with the AC still not working, they sent us all home, I hadn’t managed to do any training with the new employee that started yesterday.

So today, with all relevant fires put out, and other issues at least moved out of my hands, I looked forward to getting that training done early. Unfortunately, I was greeted this morning by an inability to connect to our ISP’s mail server. Back to firefighting mode. Where did I put the hose? 🙂

    Despite numerous warnings, I had another staff person take the afternoon off and leave their email logged in today. This time I went a step further, I sent them an email from their own PC, and their own email account. Let’s see if that hits a little closer to home.. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    We had several of our friends over Saturday for a little cook-out. We bought enough beer for everyone and in turn, two of our guests brought even more beer. Now, we’ve got a whole bunch of leftover beer! Do you think my boss would mind if I drank an Amber Bock with my lunch? 😉…

    It seems that research has concluded that Guinness bubbles do, indeed, sink. I’m glad we’ve got that settled! I hate to think of all the people out there tonight, drinking down their Guinness not knowing whether those bubbles are sinking or if it just looks that way! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
