It just never ends. When will we have power? Nobody seems to know. Kelly and I will think we are living like royalty once we have a fully functional apartment. We are just to damn stubborn to move, not to mention the fact that once we were all packed up AGAIN and ready to move our apartment would probably be habitable.
Work is going well, I have been trying to stay busy while we wait for the final implementation of the new network. Its kind of funny, when I was installing and configuring all the hardware all across the US I had full access to just about everything in the Directory. But now that I’m a permanent fixture here in LA the “Man” has stripped me off all rights and privileges to the hardware that I am here to support. I can’t even log onto the servers locally to help with any problems that they may be having, I just get to stand back and stare at them. Tomorrow some people from my company are flying in from VA to install 3 new servers including a pair of Quad 2.8GHz Xeon servers as well as about 3 TB of more storage for our SAN. So that will be fun to tear down the racks and wire everything back up. Maybe this time I can make it a little cleaner and easier to access everything.
Also just a few minutes ago one of the supervisors here asked me if I would be willing to go to San Francisco for a week to monitor the deployment of the network there. So hopefully that will go through, maybe Kelly can take a week off from work and fly up there with me, or drive. I might be able to handle 6 hours in the car to go up there.
A nice three day weekend coming up, maybe its time to drive to Las Vegas and once again try my luck at some blackjack, Kelly has already proved that she is good/lucky at it, but I seem to lose more then I win (hmmmm maybe that is why Vegas makes so much money?).
I talked to James earlier today and he is in Baltimore this week, but he thinks he will get to go home on Thursday, but he is still scheduled to come out here the following week. So it will be nice to see some familiar faces, it would be even better if Lana came out too then the four of us could go out and do some cool LA stuff, like go to a premier or something.
Kelly has already seen some celebrities, I have yet to see any but apparently they are always in Westwood Village, just yesterday I was told Alan Alda was at Starbucks across from the Subway that we eat lunch at often, and Shaq seems to be in the building about once a week (apparently he wanted to be an Agent, but thought basketball would make more money….. go figure!).
That is all I know for now, Kelly has been the one doing most of the posting lately, it seems that I may be out of a job.
