When It Rains, It Pours

So about two weeks ago, we have a conference call at my job. The owner starts talking about how things are really getting tight because of a contract we've won but have yet to receive any money from ( $350 million). She's saying that until this money is actually released, we are going to have to do some "belt-tightening"; pay-cuts, furlough's, temporary part-time/on-call work, etc. I'm thinking, this is gonna be tough but with my position as the only IT support guy in the largest production facility (4 servers and close to 40 workstations) in the company, I'm in no danger of anything too drastic.

Right?

Wrong.

Murphy's Law As My Guardian Angel

I guess I've pissed off someone but last week, life took an OMGHUEGSHIT!!11!! on me. I'm almost afraid to ask what else can go wrong because I just know something will. I'm sorry for the length of this, but Murphy's Law rode me like a cheap date this time.

Storm Story (or New Ways To Bore People Silly...)

Hurricanes suck.

Where I live (in NW Florida), we got hit REALLY hard last year with Hurricane Ivan. I personally didn't have any damage but I was without power for almost 9 days. Thankfully, at the time, the temperatures were in the 70's, so it wasn't too bad. But the panhandle of Florida was still severely damaged even now from Ivan. Honestly, a hit from another powerful hurricane is the last thing we need around here. People are still living in FEMA trailers or still have significant damage that hasn't been repaired yet.
