Neutered by the Network #

18 August 1998

My PC at work died for a few hours today. I wasn’t the only one - a fair proportion of people had the same problem, so it must’ve been a network problem. I couldn’t do anything - couldn’t run calculator, Word, Solitaire, get a mainframe session, send email, check my diary, etc. I suddenly felt very very powerless, and realised that without a PC to bash away at, my job amounts to nothing.

So, I achieved nada today. Not my fault, either. Hey ho. One more day closer to Y2K.
