Right now at work our server is down. This means no email, no templates, no access to documents saved on the drives, no printers, no communication, sheer pandemonium, PANIC OF THE MASSES.
..or it just means we have to do things “the old fashioned way”....and by old fashioned I mean from the perspective of a 23-year-old.
You know, stopping by people’s offices. Making phone calls. Faxing. Ok, so I’M not faxing but I know for a fact someone faxed something this morning
Earlier I went to talk to my co-workers office and asked him what he was doing. He just looked at me with dismay and said “Nothing. The email is down. I was going to organize and get stuff together but I can’t even print anything because the server is down.”
First world problems, we all have them.
So what does this mean for me today? I guess it means I might actually use those note taking and communication skills I learned in college. It also means I should probably brush my teeth again after all that coffee so I don’t kill someone with my dragon breath.
Maybe just it means I am just writing a blog instead of doing any of those things.
It’s amazing the convenience of certain technologies and how lost we feel without them.
Good thing the internet still works, because seriously, I can only take so much actual face time before I need to go back to hiding behind my computer and staying in touch with people on Facebook.
