Tee Minus One Day And
Counting.
============================
There is an old aphorism about the best laid plans…
I am thinking that perhaps the experiences of the past two
days may go some way to being an illustration of the point.
It was all to be so simple: Finish my work; Get myself
packed; Get myself out the door. It is simplicity in its finest form, no?
Well, that was what I thought too. Then I lost the use of
my work PC, then I had the problems of yesterday, then I had my brainstorm…
(Please don't say "storm" again!)
then I discovered this morning that even with the correct security, I
could not upload the finished files to the appropriate storage locations nor
get the emails letting my colleagues know that they were finished!
So, really, that is no problem. I was up a two, online at
three, getting things all finished and then, just after six in the morning, I
discovered that I could not finish my job from outside the company firewall.
The solution is, of course, obvious. Get myself inside the fire wall.
Decisively, I packed my bags and headed into town. No
biggie really, I'm early enough on a Friday to be beating the rush hour.
Actually, I made pretty good time. Then, pulling into the parking space it
occurred to me that the OTHER brief case, the one I usually carry with my
business laptop, the one that is sitting at home contains the keys to my
office! Argh!
So back to the house I head, this time going against the
rush hour traffic, so I still made pretty good time. I was on my way out the
door when something nagged at me. What was that that I saw? I bounded up the
stairs into my home office again. I was so glad that I did. The thing that had
caught my attention as I turned to leave was the power supply and the battery
for my personal laptop. The one I was taking into the office to connect to the
network and send the files I had worked on out. I tend to leave the battery out
as I usually have it connected to the power supply and that keeps the battery
from losing its ability to hold a charge.
Good thing I caught it. I noticed this afternoon as I was
writing this that for some reason; Blogger is not posting my posts. I will have
to suss that out when I get a chance, which will not be today. For now, I guess
I revert to keeping a journal, and posting it as I get the chance. Until then,
dear readers, it is onward and upward.
I am off to drop the dog and pick-up the laundry.
Wherever you are today, I hope that things are coming
together nicely.
