llywelaApparently this is going to be one of those weeks. I mean, it's only Tuesday and already it's been disaster after disaster!
Monday: get into work to find that we had suffered a catastrophic network failure over the weekend. Massively catastrophic - we lost the network across half the university, including SIMS (student information management system), and we're into the major Enrolment session now. Nightmare! Took until this afternoon to resolve the problem, and until then we all just had to limp along as best we could. Methinks my Enrolment Review Group meeting next week could be very interesting, as the tech types dissect what happened and how to avoid it happening at such a critical time ever again.

Perfect. Just what I need. So, I get into work and immediately have to phone the bank to cancel my card and order a new one, which may not arrive before the middle of next week.
