Anyone who has been in my general vicinity since last Thursday around noon knows my intense loathing of my company's "IT" department (and by department I mean, one greasy man who apparently is not familiar with the function of Q-tips or Mac computers).

It seems we have upgraded to a new, faster server. A server that does not service my particular machine. Unfortunately for me, no one in my office seems to give a fuck that I haven't really been able to use my computer for 2.5 days (20 hours) now. Tomorrow I will sit through another 8 hours of torture -- no email, no Internet, no printing capabilities and no means of transfering files. And since I am the editor of a monthly publication this presents a major challenge.

So, in the meantime I will be up most of the night getting my work done at home so that I can email it off to all the appropriate people before sunrise.

Wednesday is the day that I was promised someone would try and fix my machine. I just hope that I can hang in there that long... because I know I have about 2,000 emails just waiting to be deleted.
