Well, I’m back at home, due to the new lockdown that was announced on Saturday night. The office is closing from tomorrow night, so I’ve had to make sure that I have everything I need at home.
That’s not an issue – apart from me being an idiot and not plugging the headphones into the laptop (they were plugged into the monitor), and wondering why I couldn’t hear anything.
Once I’d realised what I’d done (and finished feeling like an idiot) I was up and running. EE must have done some serious network improvements, as I’ve not had to curse the dongle once. Which is a miracle.
Ok – I’ll rephrase that. I only cursed whilst my dratted laptop decided to do an update this morning, meaning that I was late logging on to the system. OK – not an issue…
Or I thought it wasn’t…. Until I realised that I couldn’t use the phone. Or log into part of the system where I keep files that I need to get access to.
So, one call to the IT helpdesk, and the issue with the cloud storage was sorted. The phone side was sorted by emailing a colleague who is already working from home, and they managed to help me sort the settings, so that was nice and easy. What I didn’t realise was that I would end up feeling…... Numb.
OK – on the plus side, I have the view of the garden, and no travelling, meaning a decent lie in in the morning, and no fighting my way through the traffic to the office, and contending with 4x4 with only one child in going to the private school!
Ah well, time to log off and join family. I shall be spending enough time staring at this damned screen for the next four weeks or so...
Back soon.
Karen
