Freeloading Phill and ...

... Upgrades and Anniversaries

So you're doing this upgrade and you need a file of all the items in the library.
Of course you start the eleven hour file creation process mid-afternoon, confident that it will finish at about 1am and you'll be able to collect the results in the morning - just like you did last May.

At great personal sacrifice you wander in to work at some ungodly hour to download the file only to find that it's a temporary file and the server decided to clean up and remove it within a few hours of it's creation!
You weep, and then start the whole eleven hour process off again realising that your much looked forward to leaving at five just isn't going to happen today and you'll have to be there at 7 to save the file.
Seven comes and goes and you are still fiddling around with file transfers, scheduled copying and other assorted IT shenanigans which are eating into your valuable gaming evening.

An then, the next morning the scheduler still didn't run so you have to start it manually and when it finished all the staff are rather conveniently in fire warden training and you have to do all the new item tagging on your own. And to think Supervisor Grand Chief K doubts that I do any work.

I almost feel like letting tomorrows 3 year anniversary of working in this LibraryLand institution slide by but, showing true character, I have made my traditional box cake to help everyone celebrate having had me around.
