Damnit

I had planned to work from home today since Halloween is the worst day for traffic every year in Atlanta. I thought I was being smart. I thought I was in control.

Not so much.

After sleeping in three hours later than I normally wake up, I showered, walked Dog, and sat down to “get some work done.” And it began…

Problem #1. I had forgotten to copy the file I was working on off my local PC at the office onto a shared folder so I could access it from home. I called, emailed, dispatched courier pigeon to just about anyone I knew was in the office. No response. After a couple hours, I finally got a hold of someone who was able to copy the file out for me.

Problem #2. File was corrupted. The real issue is, I didn’t realize the file was corrupted and assumed there was a problem with the remote connection. After fiddling with potential workarounds for a while, I begrudgingly decided I needed to come into the office.

Problem #3. Realized the file was corrupted when I had the same problems at the office that I did at home. I was able to uncorrupt(???) the file… something I could have done at home.

Now, I’m stuck at the office and looking forward to a shit-tastic commute home this afternoon. Anyone up for happy hour?
