I love the sound of crashing servers

Wunderbar indeed.

The busiest part of the year commences and the server falls over for the morning.

And once it seems as though everything apart from the network printers are back up and running, what does Bryan do?

He logs into LJ and tells you about it as if you care.

As an aside, when nothing else on the machine worked, I could still play minesweeper and Freecell.

Nice to know that Microsquash has some of its priorities right.

I suppose I'd actually better do some work now.

Argh. The frustration!!

I tell you, today the server has been up and down like a whore's drawers.

The amount of times I've nearly managed to get going is really quite high. The number of half-typed letters, or rather half-typed versions of the same letter I've started and lost is equally high.

I have managed to write, save and print one now, so I feel that I'm getting somewhere, albeit slowly.

The vagaries of Microsquash technology also mean that Word recognises and accesses my P:\ drive on the server (where I keep all my files), but explorer doesn't. Excel knows it's there, but reckons it's none of my business.

And guess who hasn't copied everything (read anything) over to his local D:\ drive for ages?

Quite right.

First thing tomorrow once I'm sure the network isn't coughing up blood, I'll be doing that I reckon.
