It was quiet. Too quiet

Surprisingly sane day at work today. Except for one thing.

I had made my way up to Oakley (about 70 miles from the warehouse) and needed to, for the first time today, call a customer. It was a big site, and I had no idea where the guy was.

Sprint phone: "Bleeble.. Bleeble.. Bleeble.. Bleeble.. Bleeble.. BEEEEP!" Call failed.

OK, I type in the boss' direct connect number to report the problem...

Sprint phone: "BEEEEEEEP!" No error message (usually it will tell me that the other phone is on a call, or in direct connect, or off. Nothing.)

Getting confused, I try Adam. Same result. I get out my cell and call Tim. Goes to voice mail. I'm beginning to suspect something...

I call our main switchboard on my cell. Get put through to one of the warehouse guys. Yup. Sprint (at least our end of it) has gone tits up. I get my pick ups and let purchasing know my cell number (just in case) and drive on. The system came back an hour or so later, but I can imagine it was hair-pulling time at the office. Of the seven drivers out, only two of us thought to call the office number.

Woo!

I finally sold enough copies of Ground Forces to qualify for a small royalty check. I really hope they finally sell through the stock on hand so the book can be turned into an e23 product.

Hint: Go buy a copy. Buy 12, they're cheap!

At this point, I'm mulling over an offer to do some work for Thousand Suns. Short contract, 10,000 words.

OOooo shiny!

I am so ordering some of these for the D&D game.
