Disruption...

What's more to do when most of your works require an internet connection but your internet connection is down?

That was what happened last night in the office...for some reason, I don't know what was the reason la....perhaps due to the heavy rain in Penang or flood somewhere in Penang....the internet was down since my return from my dinner....I didn't actually have my dinner...I just had a glass of hot milk and couple of cigarettes....I tried once restarting the modem and router but it didn't help at all....I was thinking of restarting the server but I thought..it will be risky as the server had just been repaired due to memory crash last month...so thinking of not taking any risk at all..I sent a fax message to the UK team telling them the situation...there were 2 attempts from the UK to reply me but both faxes didn't get through to me...so I was left with nothing...I decided to check our Developers Time Sheet report for last week...F.Y.I - developers are required to fill up the spreadsheet listing down all their works and hours spent for the whole week, weekly recurrence...they also need to send a Daily Work Summary to me to update what they've done and the progress....so it is part of my responsibility as the Team Leader..I need to ensure the Daily Work Summary and Developer Time Sheet report are telly....the hours in the spreadsheet then must telly with the hours they entered into the Works Orders Database...once these are done..then I'll forward the spreadsheet to our Tech Director for evaluation at his end...he will then send an email of hours performance review for that commencing week...due to the fact that I can't access the Works Orders Database..the work is left outstanding until my shift was finished...I was doing nothing for almost 2 hours!!!!!

Today, my manager is on his way to UK..his flight to KLIA was 7am....he left the company's mobile phone again to me...this morning alone, I received 3 calls wanted to speak to him...again, explained that he's not in M'sia...and will be available later in January 2009...apart from that 3 calls, I received a call from my colleague as well...it was regards to one of a query from Oz's customer...it was an email and my colleague does not know how to response and I think she's not very sure of her knowledge on that particular area in our software...so she called me and ask me to check my email and advice..yes I did..I woke up and accessed to the company web mail....read the email and gave her a call back explaining what she needs to do...but at the end..I was the one who replied the email..it's OK and I don't mind doing it as long as it would not cause any problem later if she were to reply that query..whilst I was on the phone I then asked if the internet was OK when she came in to the office earlier...she told me it was down for 3 hours and when she spoke to the Tm.Net support...suddenly it worked as if nothing had happened....

So..I really hope that I can resume most of my work today...no more internet issue please...I have plenty of things to catch up now due to the internet..darn it!!!

p/s - Tm.Net...why you never improve the service huh..I read a lot about your services being improved and revenue is up couple of percents...still, there seems to be no changes with the services...please provide a better service...no 24 hours technical support? What? Is that how you call a good service?
