Half an hour after returning to work from two weeks sick leave I felt like I haven’t been away. The first half hour was primarily filled with a sea of colleagues all chasing up requests or making new requests. Not that I mind too much of course – after all it’s best to be busy than not busy.
Fortunately, performing system checks revealed that the Exchange 2007 Server was down to 175Mb free space and was about to start complaining about it – put a tick in that box and now it has over 12Gb free. It makes me wonder why – as the server knew it was running out of disk space on its system partition why it wasn’t clever enough to realise that there were plenty of other disks available with dozens of Gb free – and utilise them instead. It’s the sort of thing that sounds quite obvious really.

Sounds like my washing machine. You can use the delay time so your washing is ready to take out when you come back from work.
But, it performs the “have you been too lazy to do your washing for a week and filled me up with to much dirty washing” test after the delay time, pointless! Tell me now while I’m still in the kitchen.
Who thinks of these things?

That’s a good metaphor Jamie – the only trouble is the washing machine isn’t likely to get me fired
