Today was pretty good. Drove to C. City, and did updates at two locations. Everything worked, and the VPN is still humming. After all the power outs last week, and coming in and finding the Server dead this morning, I wasn't sure.

I have learned so much out in the field that textbooks just cannot hope to cover. Things like User Errors, or "Ooops, I think that I clicked the wrong option. Can you help me?" asked from 60 miles away. Umm, no. I cannot see down the phoneline, and you just toasted the VPN connection, so I will have to drive there tomorrow on Company Time, and fix it.

Last week went to B., and finally got the network drive to map through the VPN tunnel. I had been to that location four times previously, and tried two different machines, uninstalled and reinstalled all the software, and nothing worked. This time I brought along a telco technician, and the Magic worked! (Don't ask what we did differently, we don't know)

Tomorrow is three locations, SR, RW, and FF. Hope everything goes as well.
