Is this week over yet? I have been on-call since last Friday, as well as being in RISS training all week. Kelly and I are driving to Sara’s house near Russell, KS on Saturday for her 30th birthday party, so not really going to be able to rest until Sunday. So one day off then another week of training. This last week I have spent more time at the office then I have in a few months. I really take working from home for granted.
My one year anniversary at HP is coming up soon. Its been a lot better since James has come onboard, but it still seems that there are a few of us that seem to do most of the work. Timecards were due yesterday and today our manager sent out the overall hours report for everyone on the team, according to the sheet the 6 of us are putting in the hours of 8.7 people… this means we are all working way to much. And the sad thing is this has been going on for months and months. Although I anticipate things to start to slow down as the holiday season starts to move in.
Joe is coming out soon and we will be attending the Great American Beer Festival. I’m really looking forward to that as its been awhile since Joe has come out last. We purchased a new bed since he was out last so he won’t be sleeping on the couch bed. Maybe we can go get a kegerator while he is here as well, as that is something we have been looking forward to getting.
I have rededicated myself to completing my MCSE before the end of the year. I need to complete my MCSE 2000 before the tests expire in early next year, t hen complete my 2003 upgrade tests. Its just tough to focus because when I stop working I just like to sit and concentrate on breathing enough that I don’t die.
Ok need to wrap this up so we can finish watching Survivor then head to bed, we have a great deal of server maintenance to do tomorrow evening so its going to be a long day. Maybe I can convince our ADM to buy a beer or two for us following the maintenance.
