Started with the best intentions

Well, I came into the office early this morning, looking forward to a really good productive morning session. Arrived at 7:30 a.m. only to find there had been a water leak in our building overnight and my own personal office had its own mini waterfall coming through the ceiling (Lucky me !) Lights blown, carpet soaked, ceiling damaged badly. ( We had the office completely redecorated in January ) the first couple of hours have been spent in damage control, mopping up water, and organising an insurance claim.

I think I’ll go for a coffee now, on Weymouth seafront, and watch the people walking by and the boats in the harbour. Work can wait until this afternoon.

Panic today in the Office

Had a quick panic earlier.Our Goldmine CRM crashed, no one could get into it. This is the main database and customer relationship management software that we use for everyone in the company. During the one-hour when we were all unable to access our databases, calendar, to do list etc

I took myself off and had a cappuccino on Weymouth seafront.Seemed like the obvious thing to do.!!

All fixed now. Thanks to Oliver, our IT coordinator. scary how we rely so much on technology
