Microsoft and Hard

I updated all my mobile devices to whatever the new iOS is, and things went all swimmingly this morning... then came crashing down around 1 PM. Oh, not my life or anything important, just Microsoft Exchange. No Outlook, Sharepoint, a bunch of other apps that we all use to support our partners, all kaput. As of this typing they're still out of commission. I felt it pointless to stay in the office once my afternoon Teams meetings were cancelled, and especially considering the weather (I wore a rain jacket and still got pretty soaked at lunchtime), so I headed home and logged on again around 4:45, to find nothing had changed. Very glad I didn't stick around! It actually made my day a bit more relaxed, or maybe that's the rolling thunderstorms through which I often have trouble staying awake. In any case, we'll see what tomorrow will bring. May we all live in interesting times!
