This has been a Tuesday that I think should be reclassified as a Monday. Today there were roving thunderstorms throughout Georgia and Florida which I've been informed resulted in some energy spikes. One of those mean nasty energy spikes found their way to our computer server. The smoke has now cleared but the burnt smell of computer parts still lingers. Tomorrow morning is when the we will learn how dependent we have become on computers and how inventive we can be as we schedule shifts and process payroll without computers. But this is where experience comes into play ... I've been in this business for over 23 years. AMS was founded back in the Dark Ages of http://www.bc.com/ (before computers). I remember paper, pencils, erasers, colored markers, legible handwriting and White-Out that came in bottles. I guess I just seriously dated myself as semi-ancient. Tonight I'll say a little prayer for patient nurses, inventive office staff and hopefully a rejuvenated computer server.
UPDATE: A Huge Thank You to Jerry Ray @ Computer Doctors here in St. Augustine! He took our sad burnt out server back to his store. He fixed it, improved it and brought it back to AMS happy and rejuvenated. It is humming right along thanks to his expertise and dedication.
