As a collegue just deleted a major lookup table in one of our back office systems.
I think I'm going to have to start drinking alcohol again

The guy that will be an ex-employee is the one that didn't maintain the backup strategy......

Restore backup and all in and working again in less than 10 minutes.
But I have a feeling that it's just the beginning for this week to be honest.

Maybe the problem is that you picked the wrong week to stop[^]?

"Birds dance and have cocktails without me" (12)

Bah!
I"m sure the clue is quite easy - it's getting the answer that's hard!
Birds: could be a specific type of bird - hens, parrots, whatever? Too many to choose from!
Dance: could be a type of dance or could indicate an anagram - but of what? Too many dances to choose! Jig, twist, waltz...
Cocktails: Not many cocktails of either one word or at least one short word - martini for example leaves only 5 letters for the bird dance bit!
Without me: A cocktail without the letters ME - I can't think of one WITH the letters ME !
Or the answer could be 'Birds' - eg hummingbirds (but obv. not hummingbirds!)
or the whole thing could mean "without me" - what? Isolationist or something like that - but no birds or dances in that!
There is a dance called "canary" which is also a bird - but then birds doesn't make sense.
Nope - getting nowhere slowly!

I wouldn't say that it was easy...A few hundred birds, cross-checked with an other hundreds of cocktails...You can got drunk very easily...

House = Somewhere I live
Martinis without an I = Pointless
Somewhere I live pointless = birds? Nope, don't get it...

Was it hard then? I think I got carried away with making the clue make sense as a stand alone sentence - though it was DD-esque
|
|

|

Hard enough - I didn't get it (or even come close). Good job!

It was hard because there was nothing to 'hang your hat on' -
Once you answered my cry for help, it was easy!
I think yours was a great clue for a real crossword - with a letter or two one may have made an educated guess (especially at martini)
I would never have got House as I thought of it as music not dance! had to google to make sure !
