Good morning! It’s only 7:14 am and I’m already nearly 5 hours into my day. When I left my afternoon meeting yesterday at 5:15 (with the bb lady who took a 30 minute meeting and stretched it into 2-1/2 hours), I had voice mails asking me to add someone to the Econ (California guy — they are 3 hours behind us, so it was early when I was asked to add him out there anyway), but when I tried to log into my computer to do the work, it would not get on the network. That essentially screwed me. I had to go to the server room and make the necessary changes directly on the server, which was a pita enough, but really no big deal. At any rate, I started obsessing about my computer not finding the network, so called the network guy and told him the problem which he promised to check into first thing this morning (well, first thing for him which is 8:00 am). However, the more I thought about it, the more I stressed because I knew that if I needed to get into the system from home that I would be really toast, so I called the NAS guys who are typically here late and asked them to see if they could check it out. They found a loose wire and I was back in business!

Anyway, I still worried, so logged in at 10:00 last night right before I went to bed. UGH! Bad stuff in my email. My Econ job sent me over 200 emails telling me that it was failing every time it ran. I was pretty sure I knew what the problem was, but was just too brain dead to work on it then. The brain was evidently not as dead as I gave it credit for as it got me up at 2:30 and forced me into the office to work on the problem. I not only found and corrected the issue I was pretty sure was the main problem, but found and corrected another problem that I didn’t even know existed! Now she sings like a bird, but I am truly brain dead.

I have a conference call at 11:00 this morning with a customer and sales, but might be able to skip out not too long after that.  Depends on what my boss says.

Back to the grindstone……

Love to all,
