My company is so crazy. I received a call yesterday from my boss telling me she was getting pressure from higher up the food chain because I was working my ass off to get my site up and running smoothly. They just don’t want to pay me for the 140+ hours that I have worked this pay period. I like my job and all, but this is just madness.
I’m dying without broadband, every Wednesday and Thursday I have to download the newest episodes of Smallville and Survivor from work on the slow ass DSL connection that we have here. Plus I’m trying to download the first episode of the new season of Sopranos so I can get into it. Grrrrrrr. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I received another call yesterday that I have the go ahead to get my gas turned on so I have made the necessary calls, so hopefully today or tomorrow I can have my first shower in my new apartment.
DirectTV will be releasing the HDTivo in April and I am hoping to score that when it is available, even though it will be about 700-900 bones. It will be super-sweet to watch Avs games in HD on my big screen.
Monday will be the start of the last two big sites that have to be migrated. So at 6 in the morning on Monday we will be in Long Beach and hopefully things will go well. We have been having some serious issues with our SCSI attached RAID 5 enclosure. We may require a new array, but hopefully not, because it seems to take forever to get new hardware sent out. And then because this hardware has been sitting for about two years, its REALLY OLD hardware. I mean because of the 22 servers under my control only 3 of them have new hardware (>1GHz PIIIs) the rest are old POSs. I mean my Powerbook is faster then half of the Dell servers that we have. The three file servers that are here are dual 700s with 1GB of RAM. Not much horsepower by todays standards.Ummmmmmmmmmmmm…… yeah nothing else.
