Pretty common, actually. In the months after the UPS caught fire and we lost power, there was a fairly steady trickle of failures in systems. Things get physically stressed, a little corruption here and there, eventually it snowballs.
The Two-Mistake Rule is uttered a lot here (turning it off you your first mistake. Turning it back on is the second.)
So today we have electricity, but we lost our server about 9:30
Where did you last see it? Work from there.
OH GOD PROJECT PLANS.
(If there's nothing here, I go to Tumblr, and there goes half an hour)
(Protect me)
I have basically done no work at work this week. At least I had some meetings? Oy,
I've spent most of the week trying to deal with putting what should go into a db into Excel because we've been told we're no longer allowed to use Access. Watch me swear. Watch me spend hours trying to figure out a simple task. Watch me go on tumblr instead.
I have cleaned off my plate, and I have nothing left to do at work. Relatedly, today will NEVER END.
I think that is to be expected, Jesse. Did you take any time off?
in my mansion room, I would like this floating bed, please.

Orgy bed, le n? Any bed that markets itself as "fits four" better have some other features, like easy-to-clean, for starters.
It wouldn't work for me because it restricts how/where you can get out of it.
And I just realised my boss booked me all day, no lunch break. Now, I brought lunch, but he doesn't know that. And since he told me we'd meet at 12 and then 12:20 with a bunch of work to do before that, I don't think he was factoring in me leaving the building before 2 at the earliest. DUDE. I've been trying to set boundaries, but he says stuff like "I don't care what hours you work, as long as the work is done" (re: leaving at 3 yesterday) but still tries to contact me at the times blocked out on my calendar. He did apologise, but I think his reflexes are go go go.
The expectations on him are high like they were with my first boss here, and with a similar amount of CxO and Presidential inspection. That's exhausting. Especially if you're, you know, me.
I think that is to be expected, Jesse. Did you take any time off?
Just Monday at the hospital and then Tuesday. We're having the funeral/memorial service in September, so I'll need at least one (maybe two) days then, and we get three bereavement days.
