SNAFU

I just came back from a week off, and immediately wished I was still on holiday. Why? I sat down at my computer yesterday morning, and the network was down. Again. And had been going down on pretty much a daily basis all last week. Which is making everybody sullen and unhappy.

It did it again this morning. Not everybody's computers this time, though - just mine, Mr Big's and Principal Girl's computers were down. Growl.

On top of this, I am trying to audit my document control system. It needs it badly, and Mistress Mouth wanted me to do it urgently. By 3pm today urgently. It's quite a big job, and to get it done on time would involve me being interrupted.

Have I succeeded? Of course not! The network crash was the first attempt to nobble my attempt. I may have managed on time even with this, except that Quality, in the form of getting my document control system properly functional, is once again nowhere near as important as Appearances, namely getting QC tidied up.

I am doing my level best to deactivate my 'give-a-shit' when it comes to this, because for the current crop of managers, Quality is never as important as Appearances. If I keep giving a shit about it, I will have a major stress attack, because all I can do is shout, and it never does any good.

Therefore, SNAFU reigns, and I don't give a shit. Seriously.
