Computers

I don't know if any of you work with computers all day - but damn - you don't realize how much you actually use them at work until the network goes down.Today we had a worm infect my company's intranet, and we had to do our best to accomplish something without the use of the network, internet, printing, or e-mail. It was pretty bad. Not only did I have to try to find tasks I could accomplish without the help of my little electronic friend, but I had to try to keep my staff of 5 people busy all day. They brought in our entire IT department from a site a couple cities away and cleared the problem just as I was leaving for the day, so I'm glad I won't have to deal with that tomorrow. Damn I love computers. I like the era I was born into. The numerous advantages over our parents' and grandparents' generations make me very appreciative of our current technology... even though I'm pretty sure if my future children or grandchildren read this they'd be laughing uncontrollably at me and the primitive environment I was raised in.
