Experiencing Technical Difficulties

2009 June 17

“A computer lets you make more mistakes faster then any other human invention in history…with the possible exception of handguns and tequila.” — Mitch Ratcliffe

 

Today was my first day working from home.  I spent most of Monday and Tuesday night installing the necessary software.  Of course it didn’t work the first time, hence the necessity for Tuesday night.  I stayed up until 2am and finally all seemed to be running smoothly.

HA!

As of this writing, it’s around 11pm on Wednesday.  I just stopped working about an hour ago.  It took over 12 hours to get my work done.

Just in case you didn’t notice, that’s longer than a normal workday in the office.  The whole idea of working from home is that you can allegedly get more accomplished without all the distractions, phone calls and other interruptions that naturally occur in the office.

HA!

Seriously though, almost everything is finally running smoothly.  There is only one remaining issue and it’s up to IT to take care of that one.  I hope it gets done tomorrow since I’m working from home again on Friday.  If not, I may need to resort to a handgun and tequila.

After all of this nonsense, I’m pretty happy that I’m going into the office tomorrow, commute and all.

Thanks for stopping by!

    LOVE the quote! Good luck with the working from home. I’m sure that the kids on summer vacation will be hardly a distraction at all! LOL

    Computers suck. Mine’s nearly comatose; I spend half my computer time waiting for it to catch up with me.
