I spent the first half-hour at work trying to figure out why I couldn’t login. Swapping cables, trying different ports, trying to get NIC lights to blink, the whole enchilada.
I finally discovered that I could hook up through my notebook’s direct NIC, rather than through the docking station NIC.
A failure in the docking station? An unexpected consequence of something goofy they’re doing to fix our network problems? Evil spirits?
You be the judge.
Plus, my office e-mail is still flaky as all hell. Feh. There are times I wish I were a ditchdigger.
No, not really.
