Ground Control to Major Tom ....

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.
Can you hear me Major Tom?
by David Bowie

So it finally happened - Skype went down for two whole days.
Talk about feeling as if you just lost your lifeline!
The first few hours were manageable as I had not yet realized
that the whole system was down, just thought it was an issue on
my end. So I set about doing my "homework" for the 30 day challenge.
By mid-afternoon I was concerned and for a brief moment I
wondered if my team mates had all moved to another "secret chat"
and did not tell me. But I soon discovered that it was an issue with
the entire skpe system.

I really missed having my team mates available through out the day
to bounce ideas, ask questions, etc. The next when day, with
skype still down, my team mate Anne got smart
and used our Facebook group to send us all an email.
Turns out I was not the only one who had missed the group chats.
We finally found a work around by getting together using google
chat - but it was not a good as skype.

And today, thank goodness Skype is back because quite frankly,
it certainly is lonely without it. I two things as the result of
being skype-less: 1) I had not realized just how much skype had
become part of my daily routine, and 2) just how important my team
mates had become to me in such a short period of time.

So if you see Major Tom around - let him know ground control
has resolved the issues.
