Off to Work We Go!

I woke up at five this morning, got up, and feed the fur people. I tried to go back to sleep to no avail. So I got up again around 6:30 and was out the door for work by 7.

This was my first day back after three days of being sick. And as usual things were in disarray. Basically because there is no backup for webbing when I'm out. Upper management has the strangest mindset when it comes to the need for support. The mindset being to ignore the issue.

Although I have access to the corporate email, I was careful not to read any of it. First off, if I'm sick, the last thing I want to do is to try to interpret corporate email messages. Second, I know if I do, I'll find all kinds of requests for something to be done.

Several years ago, before I took on the job of web wrangling, there was only one person in IS. One day he collapsed at work and after testing, it was discovered he had a brain tumor. He quickly was scheduled for surgery. When he returned to work, he later told me, he found dozens of emails requesting assistance that had been sent while he was in the hospital!

PAX!
