Days Progress, Problems Skirted

The day yesterday was long ...

The first part of the day, we’d figured out that Sr. Tess was having the bookkeeper in, so we weren’t able to use her computer. We had shared that computer before we moved to the new office and it contains many records we still need to pull for CARF. So, we added sticky notes in the new book we are working on and started to progress by hand.

We were taking interruptions in stride. There was some frustration because our desk started piling up with paperwork that we didn’t have time to sift through. The best interruption was our secretary coming in with finished work and looking for more. I’d just been rewriting and we were able to give her our notes to make pretty.

We had a break in helping Sr. Tess watch the lunch crowd. It is an opportunity to touch basis with where all the clients are at. We were just finishing up our lunch after the clients when a familiar van pulled past our car. We waved and got out of the car.

Tony is our computer fix it guy. We’d gotten to the point of needing him to look at Sr.’s computer. We had problem getting onto the Internet and our virus scan, Symantec had put something in quarante and it seemed the program had locked up. Tony started looking around. He ended up reloading the program and then in the process he started removing all this Spyware stuff ... there were hundreds of these little inserts all over the computer.

Somehow though in the process it messed up with the start-up commands. It was a terrible feeling. During this time, Sr. came back into her office and took a call from our CARF surveyor. It was a lot of pressure ... the machine we needed DESPERATELY and the surveyor all pressing down on our senses.

The computer was purchased 5 years ago and it only has 4 GB in memory. Bottom line was that after four hours at $75 per, he ended up taking the computer with him saying that he was going to save all the work, but would have to start from scratch ... forgot the term here. You know clear everything then load the programs you want back in. I don’t know ... it’s kind of a harrowing experience. She’s supposed to be back by tomorrow though.

Needed to press on.  Went back to our office after hours and started clearing desks.  *Sigh*
