~Day 125~ Stormy

Today was a complete fuckarow (credit Stephen King for the perfect word to describe the day - perhaps he didn't invent it, but that's where I first heard it.)

I had so much that I just NEEDED to accomplish today and barely got anything done. See, I had no computer for most of the day. It's only at times like these that you realize, there's really not much you can do without a computer.

I spent most of the morning on the phone and emailing back and forth with the IT department. Finally, just before lunch, he decided he just needed to take my computer back to his workstation to work on it.

On top of all that, our printer chose to die today. It's a printer shared by the ten people in our department, and on average each person prints something about every two minutes. So, after various solutions were tried and failed, we were set up to print on a printer downstairs. But we couldn't print from all of our applications, just some of them. We made do - the important ones were covered, though not without issues.

A schedule was made for each of us to take a turn to run downstairs and get our print jobs every half hour. On top of my turn for picking up print jobs, I also had to run downstairs several times to test my computer. So I spent the afternoon running up and downstairs - got lots of exercise at least. Good thing, because it poured all evening so I didn't get my evening walk in. Thankfully, the walking club started today, so we walked about 2k at lunch - took us about 22 minutes. That was the only break I had today - I ate my sandwich around 3 o'clock at my desk.

So, I was feeling a bit down after such a rotten day, but then I got an evening call from Heather (my fellow accounting clerk) and we had a happy chat - that brightened my day! Thanks, Heather!

I hope you all had a better day today.
