So as if being understaffed and overworked wasn't enough to deal with, Wednesday our production manager's computer contracted a virus! His computer is also the server! The server is where ALL our shit is, everything we print except TAFE. So for most of Wednesday it was intermittent as to whether the PCs could see the server, and the Macs couldn't see it at all. The designer's computer is a Mac. This was annoying.
At three-ish the server was rebooted in safe mode and the virus scan to end all virus scans was run, so nobody could get on it. This was more annoying.
Scan finished mid yesterday morning, with lots of red things quarantined and deleted, but still not a happy computer. So we got the IT guys in (we're not a big enough franchise to warrant having IT guys employed with us) to deal with it, and they've been working on it since then.
Today~ they've been rebuilding the entire sodding thing. My HOME computer/laptop takes me a solid 6 hours to install everything and figure out preferences, let alone the work server.
And then the email server (which is in Perth and nothing to do with our end) went down. So I head desked a little bit and went to early lunch.
BUT OMG THIS MONTH OF STRESS IS OVER. I HOPE. I mean, as of Monday I'll be doing the job of one person again. I would've had so much more fun filling in for the designer if I didn't have so much OTHER shit to deal with at the same time.
I rewarded myself by buying an electric frypan and an electric wok. I feel better :D
