a network outage and a scramble

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.12.01

I had the unusual start to my day of getting to the office to find the network completely out; so I scooped up my laptop and headed home. I'd have loved to stay to help out, but we'd taken a new client live overnight and I had people across the US waiting for me to get back in circulation. I made my ten o'clock but just by the skin of my teeth.

December, already! So long 2017.

I'm constantly amazed at how difficult it is to break free of the straitjacket of the immediately urgent.
