Back to work ....
Well, I've survived the first day back at work, and even managed to get some done! Quite an achievement really considering that one of the key servers in our LAN was down all day - so no access to the internet - but I did notice that we still got floods of e-mail.
One curious side effect of the server being out of commission was that it seems to have scrambled all our printers. The one I am normally on is called Laser E, but my printing was happening on one in another part of the building called Laser C, when it wasn't happening in yet another part of the building on a printer designated Laser U. I'm still missing some pages but what the heck, it adds something of a frisson to ones life to have to take a tour of the site to discover which of the 23 printers your printing has been downloaded to this time.
The IT wizards tell me that the ant farm will be replaced, they hope, by tomorrow and that Batgirl should be back up and running (or should that be hanging?) by close of play tomorrow. The culprit seems to have been our electricity provider who blacked us out on Friday last and this evidently fried a crucial switch, which in turn has done something to poor Batgirl.
I wonder if they will remember to TBE her? (Readers of Terry Pratchett will recognise the designation from the Hogfather after Hex is given his (its?) Hogwatch present!)
OK, OK, not everyone reads Pratchett - it stands for Teddy Bear Enabled. See, I told you those little fellows are amazing!
