Computer Issues

So at my lovely pharmacy we've been having more than our fair share of computer issues lately. Either phones don't work, the internet doesn't work, everything locks up, can't get E-Scripts, etc. The frequency of all of it has been just crazy...and to make matters even worse, it has happened on both days after a holiday so far this summer (day after Memorial Day and 4th of July). Now I know it's not anyone's "fault" but it still stinks. Apparently today's issue was that our router blew after last night's storm meaning that we couldn't connect to the internet and therefore couldn't send claims, bill credit cards, do anything meaningful. Had to go buy a new router and eventually everything came back up. My question is, why don't they teach more practical computer trouble shooting skills in pharmacy school??? I'd gladly give up some of my useless clinical knowledge for a simple "How to fix your printer in 5 steps or less class" . Call me crazy.
My DH is picking up dinner tonight...yay. It's very hard to get motivated to cook after a day of running around the pharmacy. Probably going to curl up with a book this evening and possibly enjoy a nice cold adult beverage. It's gotta be better tomorrow....
