Happiness is a voyage, not a destination,
There is no better time to be happy than... NOW



Today I actually felt productive. My Outlook has been down for a couple of months. It would hang up trying to Send/Recieve. All the Outlook settings were correct. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, no good, still would not Send/Recieve. Hmm! Finally turned off my firewall and it worked!! Recieved all the emails that were in the webmail. Looked around in the settings of the Virus settings and found some settings that were not correct and sure enough Outlook works again! I had backed up my emails and contacts, so I did not lose anything. Don't know how the settings got scrambled. Maybe the cat did it.

Would agree with many of the comments. I do miss discussing events with 'some' coworkers tho.
