When infrastructure attacks!
I think my company’s IT infrastructure is out to get me. Maybe not physical harm, but my productivity is definitely being impacted.
It wasn’t all that long ago that I spent the day twiddling my thumbs because the computer’s power supply failed. The twiddling was, of course, metaphorical. It’s been several years since I spent any significant amount of time literally twiddling my thumbs. Instead, I spent the day researching uses for the word “metaphorical.”
And then, just last week, I got a bonus day off when the building power went out. The backup generator failed too, so I got to go home and start my July 4th celebration a day early.
This morning, it was the corporate network that failed. I rebooted my computer and when it came back up, it could no longer connect to the network. It wasn’t just my computer having problems, a number of my co-workers had the same problem.
I’m not complaining though. Technology has always promised us more leisure time. I may as well enjoy it.
Perhaps I’ll brush up on my twiddling technique.
