People you meet will come and go. There are some who will stay for a short while and move on; there are some who will stay longer, but will also move on, BUT there will be some that will become your friends and will make a lasting impression on you that you will NEVER FORGET. Those are the friends that you get to know really well and will be there for you, even after years of not being together.
This is the one day that IT Dept’s around the world get appreciate for keeping YOUR computer running, YOUR work email and internet up, and keeps YOUR data (whether it be work-related excel spreadsheets, policies and procedures, client or customer information, or even pictures of your pet) safe from unauthorized personnel.
So, tell your IT Department thank you for doing what they do to make your life at work easier. Because if you don’t we can very easily just pull the plug and make your working environment a living nightmare…..

And if you feel like you want to get me something, go here:
I thought i was going to have a slow, and enjoyable weekend for once doing very little, however all that changed when i got home from work.
Around 4pm, a small storm rolled through the area, and most of us didn’t think most of it as we were watching it at work. We just thought a little wind, rain, thunder does not hurt. About 30 minutes later, i receive a call from church asking about Sunday, and i answered the questions. She said i would have emailed you, but we don’t have any power right now. She asked me if i had power and i said since i’m still at work we do but we also have a generator that will kick in if we do lose power.
I leave and go home, and my garage door won’t open. I’m thinking my battery is dead. I tried a couple of times before i realize i have no power. To confirm this, i walk in my house and my UPS battery backup is going crazy. So, i decide to call church to see just what time they lost power, and they said around 4pm. So i’m thinking it’s going on one hour, and i just bought groceries a couple of days ago, my frig and freezer are full, what to do? Call my parents to see what the timeframe is before i should start moving inventory out and they said couple of hours.
To make a long story short, i moved 85% of the stuff out and took it to my parents and as of right now, i am one of the 6,000 people still without power. I have a co-worker in my subdivision and they are still without power but have a neighbor who let them borrow a generator. I told her if you get power this evening, give me a call. Otherwise, i would like to call you to see if power came back on.
So, that’s my fun so far this weekend.
