Downed Network

Just received notification that the network was down on Thursday and Friday. As if I hadn't noticed as I was unable to access any of my files. They had a big enough problem that files needed to be restored from a tape back-up. Thank goodness I spent most of my time of Thursday working the phones and most of Friday waiting to see if I could get back on the network. Rather productive couple of days, don't you think? I was lucky compared to some in my department. They now have to recreate whole spreadsheets that were the entire purpose of being here those two days. It reminds me of being in college...and yes, we use the same network that they did.
