It's a great way to save money!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the increased orders! May the orders/sales result in additional hours or a bonus for you!rennratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258514296905380163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29521202.post-1359795853885537882009-01-16T16:12:00.000-05:002009-01-16T16:12:00.000-05:00I braved the cold and was at my desk at 7:55 AM, s...I braved the cold and was at my desk at 7:55 AM, shook the mouse to wake up my computer and nothing. It had died in it's sleep overnight. I called the IT "customer care" number and was conneted to Chicago, no one cares that early in the morning on the east coast. A work order was dispatched. I caught up on my ready, cleared off my desk, did email on my phone, contemplated joining the computer, waited and the Polish computer technition arrived about 9:30. She determined that it was truly deceased and went to fetch a loaner, aka the last semi working model of a laptop designed for Windows 2000. That was made somewhat functional by 10:30, I spent 15 minutes trying to decide if I should scream or cry when she explained the largeest professional membership organization in the world (opps too much information) does not synch files from the work stations to the file servers automatically. The three hours of tedious work on Thursday afternoon exist only on the hard drive of the dead computer. About 11:00 I get a call from IT, that they have transplanted the hard drive into a new body and it appears to work. By then it was time for a phone interview for a summer intern (who stood us up for the second time this week, she won't be getting a job offer - it is a paid internship in DC at the brand name organization in the industry and she sets a time for us to call her and then does not answer the phone -- - - - - - - her mental health or mine? After that I had an appointment and lunch and then back to the office to find the successful transplant patient working. I did have somewhat ominous message about needing to test the VPN capability. <BR/><BR/>God it is cold and I actually got about 12 minutes work done in the office today. Not worth getting out of bed for. <BR/><BR/>DGTravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787024407420088973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29521202.post-80348817706152438122009-01-16T15:52:00.000-05:002009-01-16T15:52:00.000-05:00I think that's the one I'm looking at too Marilyn....I think that's the one I'm looking at too Marilyn.
