It's Monday

I have a probable dead printer in Tucson and a probable dead laptop in Flagstaff, at least one due to a power event. And of course, this is the week the tech who usually covers Flagstaff is on vacation.

An office that still uses Quicken for one oddball thing opens Quicken today and has no data. When trying to restore a backup, they get the message that some backup files are missing. As near as I can tell, nobody has ever backed up this data to the network.

A live sample of a worm deflected by the old version of our anti-virus program was tested this morning against our new anti-virus program . . . and not deflected. Off the same .sig file. But a full scan finds it and claims to disinfect it.

And everything hurts. I spent seven hours on Saturday helping friends move. Third-story apartment on one end, six inches of water to wade through on the other end. No amount of time on an exercise machine prepares you for this. Everything hurts.

Yeah, it's officially Monday.
