Just another manic Friday

The week started manic, got a little quieter in the middle and ended on a manic note as well. I spent all morning connecting to each of our branches individually to pick up their orders as the email and ftp server were unavailable. They've been unavailable since lunchtime yesterday, something to do with someone wanting to change a block of IP addresses and everything behind that block of addresses falling off the edge of the internet. So at least it wasn't just us that was affected (and I wasn't responsible for it, hehehe) but I still have to pick up the pieces after the fact.

We get all the orders in by lunchtime. So next week we're going to move to a newer more robust more available more up to date more whizz bang fantastic ftp and email server. Which means I'm going to have to connect to all the branches all over again to change their connection settings. That gives me something to look forward to over the weekend, don't you think?
