Well, I'm awake.

I opted to call in sick last night, when I was looking at my thermometer and seeing a temperature of 100.5. I seem to be back down to where I belong this morning, but relaxing and sacking out until it's all better would seem to be the wisest course of action.

I am, however, awake. This is because my least computer literate co-workers seem to be the ones whose computers are suddenly getting assigned IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x range when their DHCP leases expire, rather than in the 192.168.0.x range. I am going to have to check our secondary firewall and the settings on one of our domain controllers when I get back to the office. For now I'm just having them assign static IPs in the appropriate range. It's too much hassle to attempt a full diagnosis when you're dealing with someone who refers to every single piece of the Office suite interchangeably as 'my Microsoft', or who plugs the USB cable into the serial mouse port because you can't get them to recognize that 'those little rectangular ones' only work if you have the cable turned right side up.

I half wish I were in the office anyway so I could breathe on them. But only half.

>.> Even I can manage to tell the bits of Microsoft Office apart. That's a special sort of computer allergic.
