I Awoke In Another Dimension
Today I got out of bed later than usual knowing that I was scheduled to work from home. The weather was freezing and my room felt like it was in the 30’s. I like to sleep in cold air, but this was ridiculous. I wound up feeling quite groggy and congested. To top it off I had a night full of bad dreams about fighting with friends and being homeless.
When I got to my work computer something was a bit off. Nothing was working correctly. Finally I got the internet to work after much effort and connected through my remote VPN. Suddenly my Microsoft Outlook went on the fritz. Error signals appeared all over the place and the computer crashed shortly after. Upon restarting the machine, I discovered Outlook was no longer there. Gone.
Big problem. I cannot monitor support emails without email and after emailing some co-workers I realized I had no other choice but to head into work. I got to work a little after 11AM with very little traffic on the way in. My computer still isn’t working correctly, I’m in the office when I shouldn’t be and people in the office are acting strange.
To top it all off I’ve got deadlines!
5:30 cannot come fast enough, let me tell you.
