My supervisor was waiting for me when I got in at 8 AM, to discuss a follow-up from last week’s troubles. I was working on those all morning. At 11:26 AM one of the database servers (the same one we had been discussing) crashed, immediately becoming my priority task. I will have to do some database restores from backup to complete the recovery. Unfortunately, the systems are in use all day and into the evening. I cannot start work until 11 PM. I think I can do everything from home.

Well, if I cannot start until 11 PM, I might as well go to Irish class.
