Thumb twiddling

Poor baby! Do you need
some asprin?

Since around midnight last night our server has been out of commission. It's an actual hardware issue, not software.

Not only do we not have access to any of our own work saved on the server (where most of our stuff resides, as ITS insists, "Save your work on the server! We back up every night!"), but none of the financial systems are working, though the internet is up.

While our web-based phone system is working, we cannot access our contact list (stored on the server). Who actually remembers phone numbers anymore?

You don't realize how often you use the computer until the programs you use aren't working.

Ah well, it's a chance to clean the office a bit.
