So a sign of the times has taken place at my place of "business". Yesterday the upper management at my office came to work to discover that we had been "robbed". Someone had between Tuesday and Wednesday stolen our electric meters off the side of our building. So instead of closing business until everything could be confirmed to be up and running... We reopened our business today with no way to do business... Our main ERP isn't up and running AND neither is our email. So I ask, why am I here? Apparently it is to sit here and blog to pass time, or get paid to "sit at work, instead of doing nothing at home". The words of a manager fallen heavy on an employees ears... Apparently I have no life outside of work?
Apparently these electric meters were stolen to resell, or possibly stolen by a previous "pissed off" employee of PNM. Needless to say this act didn't inconvenience PNM at all, only the companies whom they stole the meters from. Go figure...
Mean while PNM has informed us that the unit on the side of our building is so old that we may be replacing it to update our 30 year old model. Now how long does this take? 2-4 weeks!!!? So unless they will approve our machine shop produced cover to their panel we will be closing our doors for a while. I guess if the business wasn't hurting before it will be now...
In This So Called Life I often wonder what it is that keeps any business's doors open. For ours it looks like it may be something as simple as electricity.
