This is the day I went to work, the Director was in London, the expert user was in the Lake District, the sole software developer called in sick, the technical manager was off-site, the server administrator was on holiday, and the server crashed…
Arriving as early as I did this morning the whole Trust was dark and deserted. You know it’s too early in the morning when you expect shuffling, moaning zombies to be wandering the site instead of your work colleagues.
