Ok, after taking a week off to go on a vacation with the family I have learned that Vacations are a bad thing. Those of you who were in the shop while I was gone or since, may have noticed some changes. We pretty much had some major disastor each day. One day a construction crew cut some fiber cable and took out phone and internet service to the shop (and half of LaGrange and Crestwood) which is no good when you run an internet buiness and like to process credit cards.
A couple of other snaffoos set us back a bit, but the big one occured when one of the employees downloaded a virus into our inventory computer. "I was just trying to charge my ipod, I swear..."
So that has blinked out one of the computers and made our cash register useless, so we are back in the stone ages and taking orders by hand. You can still order off our website, but we will have to wait for the holiday weekend to be over so the rest of the world will come back to work and we will can get our tecnical issues solved. (hopefully we won't have lost too much data). Anyway. I am back and we are trying to get ourselves back where we need to be, but if you see us running around like chickens with our heads cut off it is because nothing is working the way it is supposed to. Oh well.
So while vacation was largely a disaster, I did get a couple of interesting tidbits out of it. The first was this lovely picture of a bike locked up outside one of the buildings where we were staying. If it doesnt't strike you as funny, look again.
There were also some fringe benefits to being able to step away from my work for a while and rething my approach to a couple of things, so once we get all of our current problems sorted out, look for some cool things coming down the pipeline. Stay tuned...
