server down

The 4th Quarter at any retail company is always insanely busy. And Deseret Book is no exception.

I've been caught up in deadlines and bluelines and all sorts of other lines...

But yesterday afternoon, our company email went down. And is still down. And I may or may not have had a few panic attacks about it.

You see, my job relies heavily on being able to email designs and other production-y things to people for revisions and approvals. And I'm currently eyelashes deep in a whole bunch of projects that need to be finished before my Thanksgiving vacation can begin (which, may I remind you, is not too many days from now. Seriously, can't believe we're a week into November. Where does all the time go?).

I know that people used to be able to work without email... and even work with unreliable email. But, it's the end of 2010. And work = email in a lot of cases. Especially (please don't say expecially - it's not a word) ... Especially mine.

So, I'm cleaning my desk, and sorting my files... and crossing my fingers that the 37 emails in my draft box will be able to go out soon.

Happy Friday.
