What a way to start a Monday

O.K. – this is how to start a Monday… My office computer was giving me a lot of grief last week – displaying the dread “Blue Screen of Death” several times in a row. So Thursday night I went out and purchased a replacement box.  After being out of town for the weekend I decided to come in bright and early to set up the new computer and not eat into office time on Monday… so around  6:00 AM I entered our new office and proceeded to enter my alarm code… except I did not push something or I pushed the wrong button. Then the Fire Alarm went off.
The Fire Chief was very nice. Now I know to keep my glasses on when entering the building and that the overhead lights take several seconds to come on… and double triple quadruple check which buttons to push in which order.

Then I turned on my flighty computer to find it had not reset text in an out of office message. I had been monitoring my email by blackberry  Thursday afternoon and Friday while traveling – but with the flighty computer turned off I did not know the auto responder function was still on until….  134 emails went out at 6:34am Letting everyone know I would be out of the office from December 19th 2008 through the 22nd.  Before I could answer back a did receive a lot of emails which let me know it was already 2009.

The day got better after that. (Well so far anyway)
