    Why is it.....

    ...whenever you're running late for work, that there's always a crisis waiting for you?

    This morning a wonderful idiot decided that they couldn't possibly risk letting another car in front of them on a roundabout that was clogged waiting for the M1. Que much honking and swearing from pretty much every driver waiting to simply cross the roundabout.


    Anyhow, once past this little drama, I arrive at work to discover no one can log onto the network drives or our SOP application! Luckily this turned out to be a quick fix, instead of restarting the server as my manager was about to do, a quick scan of the services revealed the cause, Microsoft Firewall had died late last night due to an "Unknown Cause"


    Hope everyone else's day has started better!

    It's not so much the start of the day, rather than the last 3hrs of work (try sitting on your hands for that long, with no customers around, and you're surrounded by all manner of games and an internet-less PC)

    I hate work at times

    And this is why we have an automated phone system that diverts straight to voice-mail until it's time to start work.

    Now, if only I could get it to cut customers off mid-sentance come quitting time....

    Re: Why is it.....

    a nice little windows quirk, one of my proccessing services died, because too many filewatcher instances had been created, you can leak the handles even once the proccess has been closed it would seam. (Limit on the local network BIOS).

    niiiiiice.
