I know all about things nor going to plan…..
Tuesday I went out to a customers site for a Preventative maintenance on a machine. Easy enough. Took very little time to complete, until I powered it back up again. Critical disk read error. Spoke with the customer and arranged to fit a new drive on Wednesday. No problems, left home @ 7am, got there about 10am. Damn traffic and road works. This just so happened to be the day of the bad winds, etc.
Got home around 4pm and got a call from another site in Heidelberg saying that their instrument had a drive failure also. So I went back to work, battled through peak hour traffic with rain, wind and drivers who have forgotten to drive, to fix the instrument. Disk replaced and all appeared to be well. Until I got home at 9pm. Phone rang again, the same customer, saying that the heaters were not coming up to temperature. The damn state files were currupt. So Out I went again and fixed this problem.
I finally got home again at around 12am, and was looking forward to sleep. But guess what…… I couldn't sleep.
