After a suitably unpleasant journey to work, I didn't go to my final assessment thing for this qualification that I am doing because I was too stressed out (it's drop-in, do it when you want assessment, I'll do it next week) so I stayed here instead. Then after about 2 seconds attached to the network, it boots me (and the rest of the department) off. No email, no internet (therefore no geek-ware -- nooooooooooooooo!), no access to the drives I need to do any decent work... And no one knows who to contact to get it fixed because the usual tech guy, Keith who always stares at my boobs, quit on Tuesday (btw, he did come into my office for just about no reason last week to stare at my boobs).

Anyway, two hours later and I was so bored I can't think up a good analogy about how bored I was, I phoned home to have a bit of a whinge and my worthy advisors said if it's not fixed in, say half an hour, to give up for the day since I can't get any decent work done. And whaddya know, five minutes later, and it is all sorted. Now I feel an extra special grudge about having to be in work. And the pissy thing is, if I had got into work in a more pleasant manner, I would have gone to the assessment, finished that bitchazz of a qualification and not even have been vaguely aware of the network being down and I wouldn't begrudge staying in work. GRRRRRRRRR.
