At least I get time in lieu for this

selenayIt is Sunday. It's midday. I've been logged on waiting to start monitoring jobs and reports during a big processing job for four hours.
The upstream processes are all hideously delayed. There was a power cut due to a storm last night. Even though power and processing were restored within a couple of hours, the morning team couldn't access their floor because all the card readers are out. So it took them a long time to find some PCs they could physically access to log in.
The VPN was up before people found accessible PCs (which is why I've been online for so long).
Hence, delays. And this was the month when we expected everything to run late due to the size of the job, so everything is compounding everything else.
This is so much fun.
At least I get to bank some time in lieu for this. I might be sitting at my PC with a book open in front of me, but my company acknowledges the inconvenience of having to be chained to my PC for hours on end even when I'm unable to actually do anything work-related. Yay company.
At this point, we're all just hoping it doesn't end up being a late night, because we all have to work tomorrow no matter what happens :-(
