NOT.

My administration client managed to knock out mail services fro approx. 5-10 thousand users for about 11 hours today.

Ooooops.

My permissions are revoked. I can't do most of my job.

Not a good week.

The worst is over.

Now I shall have to work to their tune and that is ever less efficient than mine. So they are paying so it's their time. But it leaves less time for my own personal ruminations.

<sigh>

Back to work

As they say, if you have never made a mistake you can't have been doing much work. Onwards and upwards, Suff.
