I just have to say that yesterday was the darned strangest day ever. Our
office is in Carlsbad and just seconds before a huge conference call we had
a power outage that lasted 30-40mins. Both before and after that I had been
fixing weird issues with people's computers... stuff I haven't seen before.
Just after the power outage, my boss' laptop fried...the kind of fry where
you can smell something go bad on the main board. It stunk. On top of that I
had my phone vendor in working on a problem, and his wife called to tell him
his car had been stolen. So my boss goes home for the day to do work and
calls be because he can't get online... due to the below boneheads. This all
happened within 2 hours. I think I will stay home today.
