Moo! The Musings of a Plaid Cow

When Larry goes on vacation, he goes on vacation, as witnessed in his out of the office message:

I will be out of country from 1/11-1/19 on vacation. I will not be reachable.

From an important IT memo at work:

In preparation for implementation of the changes to Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 2007, the necessary patches will be applied during the afternoon on Sunday. When complete all workstations will have to be rebooted for the patches to take effect. Users are cautioned to log off and save any open work to avoid problems.

Lesson learned? Save your work before the server is rebooted. I wonder how much work was lost last time.

I miss the corporate instant messaging that we had access to at my previous job. Like this little gem with my manager:

(16:13:38) Cindy: still trying to figure out [your project's] org charts here!
(16:20:54) Randy: yeah, me too. let me know if they start making sense
(16:21:07) Randy: cause right after that, the dead relatives start beckoning
(16:21:09) Cindy: I may not live that long
(16:21:25) Cindy: I see we are thinking along the same lines here!
