I should be working. I want to be working. Instead, I am posting on my blog, cooking soup, semi-watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and when this post is finished, I'll go back to my NaNo novel.
Why? Why am I not answering customer calls? Because my work PC is sick and I'm far down on the triage line today. We had major software issues on the job last week that affect the entire company and that are still being ironed out. In the grand scheme of things, that of course means a single sick PC has to wait. I feel a bit like I am sitting in the emergency room with a sprained ankle while all around me are victims of gunshots, stabbings, and beatings.
They hope to be able to remotely work on the issue later this afternoon. Then, depending on the results, I may have to travel into the job. Although it is only across the county from me, public transportation schedules mean it takes three crosstown busses and right at four hours one way. Not a pleasant prospect.
The very thing that allows me the freedom to work from home is the very thing that has my emotions bent out of shape. My brain feels as fried as I am afraid the hard drive is. One lesson from it though--I am backing up all my files on my home PCs (especially my NaNo novel) to ensure no data loss if something like this should ever happen to either personal machine. Here's to technology LOL!
