When the computer stops, so does everything else around my office. As I type these lines, I am looking at a screen full of error codes and messages concerning operations that could not be completed. “The following drive mapping operation could not be completed: [ROOT T:=SDRP201/MAIL:WPPOST1] The error code was 8804.”

I am here, but I am not working. Others are wandering around aimlessly, like bloodhounds that have lost the scent. Then, out of the darkness comes a call from our savior, “The system is back up! Go forth and produce!” It is finally time to work.
