Gremlins

I just wrote a really long post about the failing technology of my workplace, but upon re-reading, find it TOTALLY BORING.

Long story short? In the last week and half, my computer crashed, and was not backed up in any way. My co-worker's computer froze in the middle of a database upload and she has to leave it alone until a technician comes in next week. The phone system went on the fritz, and it took me 2 days, 36 phone calls, an hour on the phone with the technical director reading DOS-like menus outloud, to fix the damn thing.

CAN SOMETHING JUST WORK RIGHT FOR ONE MINUTE?

We are home to gremlins that come out at night and have drunken parties, and our technology is paying the price.
