In the velvet darkness, of the blackest sky
All morning the skies above the Insane Asylum have been dark & brooding as we are sat under a Thunder Storm. Now this is not necessary a bad thing, OK. So my dogs are outside getting drenched, OK I will spend longer driving home at the end of the day, OK parents with their kids off school will be cursing the weather, and other Bad things I can understand.
But there is a light in the darkness of everybody’s life..
What is that positive light I hear you ask. Yes I heard you, thanks to a flashplayer plugin on this site it recorded your statement, and emailed it to me over to my iPhone. No! I will not go do that to myself. Behave!!!
Well to answer your none-rude question, The positive light is ;- I work for an ISP, which means computer, technology, things that need power to work, and since the storm keeps taking out either our electricity or our Internet connection, it means I get to spend the day sitting back, playing on the Internet via my iPhone. ;o)
Life Is Good!

OK. Over at the Techno Insane Asylum we have a small problem. Our Windows Systems Administrator has left, and left our windows servers in a bit of a state. So we need some urgent work doing, to rectify about 6 years worth of neglect…
Now our biggest problem is, no ones been appointed the new systems administrator, so currently theres even less work being done than there was. Now this has recently come to a head as an important customer has requested a service we cant currently provide without some urgent work.
So we’ve had a couple of meetings now to try and sort out whats needed, and in what order they need doing. and when we can do them, the only thing we have not discussed is, getting a Windows System Administrator to do the work…
So todays meeting went along the lines of working out what was needed, The director chairing the meeting then decided the best thing we could do to quickly get ourselves up to speed, was to ignore the half dozen or so windows servers we have out in the field and deploy a Windows 2008 server, fully up to date, to meet our customers needs. So we can put the other stuff on the back bone.. All sorted and decided..
Now, we just need a windows administrator to build the 2008 server (which no one in the asylum has ever used) so we can get it out and running to save us having to pick a windows administrator….
At this point in the meeting (after checking I was not armed and able to put them out of my misery) I retreated into my own little world…

Wow..
I am impressed, We had Helen in the office for a big part of this morning to take a look of the mountains of paperwork, junk, and assorted crap we have managed to fill up several draws, a filing cabinet, and a book shelf with. A mass so disorganised we never even dare look for things.
We set her the challenge of organising it more as a joke, than anything else. But
bloody hell!
she’s finished, junked the crap, alphabetised the files, put things in order and folders with little sticky labels saying what each section is.
And all this by 12:30….

1st into the office.
Slightly later than otherwise would have been (Not had to use my keys for a while, so it took a while to find where I had put them)
But I don’t like it… Its too quiet with the building empty, even the music doesnt really hit the silence…
Come in People!!!!

Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!
I swear I have been in work for 12 solid hours due to the day dragging so long!!
I think its due to the small number of people in the building, so its too quiet, and too slow. My office is empty apart from myself, and fozz (Who is alternating between being asleep and reading, meaning I have managed to get a half dozen sentences out of him all day. And half of them was drink based.)
The other offices are equally empty, The Hardware lot are down to one girl who has gone on a mad cleaning spree, and was last seen braving the coffee area. The main support office is playing classical music, and the people in there seem to have drifted off asleep…
And the phones are quiet, I wonder if they are broke?
