Screaming fit

[MissHoneychurch]

Friday morning. I want to exchange the tape for the backup. I turn on the monitor, I sign in. First thing I read: "Database defect" :wtf: The hotline is busy :banghead: I want to leave for two weeks vacation in 7 hours. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

:argh: :nuke: :grr: :banghead: :rant:

[enigmatic]

1. Uh oh...

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. exactly

i just reached the hotline. I am reorganizing the database right now. I hope it will solve the problem for now and then I send them a back-up tape so they can check it also again. DARN

3. Give me a yell if they can't solve it.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. you know how to work with library software?

then PLEASE come over :)

They better know how to solve the problems.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

6. Not necesarily. The database is corrupt? Who's the

manufacturer?

[MissHoneychurch]

8. a German library software company

and it is based on SQL

[Crazy Guggenheim]

11. What's the brand name?

[MissHoneychurch]

12. of the company?

BOND Bibliothekssysteme

and the database is biblio.sql

[Crazy Guggenheim]

13. I can't do it. Sorry.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. I know

it is a special software. As said, I am reorganizing the database right now and will send a back-up tape to them.

Thanks anyway :hug:

4. Oh-oh. Sending best wishes over to you.

I'm having my own problems *sighs* Hope this won't interfere with your vacation!

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I don't LET it interfere with my vacation

I am actually glad it happened today and not next week when my co-worker is alone. She knows a bit about computers but she would get an even louder screaming fit. So I hope I get it fixed today and it won't happen anything the next two weeks.

What are your problems?

[neweurope]

9. Problems with the SO...

BIG problems. But I don't want to think about it right now.

10. uh oh

:hug:

[tjwmason]

15. They know when messing up is most likely to irritate you

Hope that all of your work isn't going to vanish into the ether. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. yeah, seems like the server wants me to stay

but the reorganisation went through and it is working again. Phew. Now nothing stands between me and my vacation.

Where were you btw?

[NMMNG]

17. Oh no!

Work problems always seem to crop up right before vacation...grrr. I'm sorry I can't offer any technical assistance but I can give you this smilie. While you can't do this for real, you can live vicariously through the smilie:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. this is exactly how I felt this morning

this one :argh: fits also. By now the problem is solved (at least for today). I have to hope nothing happens while I am gone and then when I am back I can talk to the software company again to see what caused the problem.
