Here's mine, today....

Given hot and cold sweats, I was awake from 5am and when the alarm went, I was determined to get to work. "I'll just check my mail," I thought to myself. Server down.....eh? Internet up? Check. So I wander off to my cellar.

Server down indeed: no lights...so ok, it powered off or something. Power on? Tick-tick-tick. Eh? CPU or motherboard fried, I think. So I put in another CPU (yes, my cellar is a graveyard) but nothing happens. RAM? Nope....tick-tick-tick.

In the end, as dizziness was really kicking in, I pulled the SCSI disk and card from the machine and put it into another machine - whilst resting on my freezer so I don't take a tumble!

And just when I thought I was there, I had to extract the network card to find out what it was so I could get drivers. PC-of-Frankenstein lives and works.

Definitely the signs were that I should go back to bed and cancel the day! So I did - holding firmly onto the banister as I went to bed.

I found out after this that a guy in my wife's office flaked out yesterday at work......just like a lumberjack had felled him.

I've managed to sleep but the two dogs monopolising the bed are making that hard.

And I can't hear in my left ear.

So, Tuesday January 16th 2006 - you never existed!

you forgotten the bit about being an imperialist running dog

no, that's someone else's bad hair day

I expected to read about Lob off to get a mullett...
