Well, the Wednesday glums stayed around. Packed up my stuff from the office,
I now have 2 monitors and 3 computers, as well as several boxes of crap
in my living room, awaiting the space in the new building. Not sure how long
it will be here. Not really sure what I'll be doing, and where either. Trying
VERY hard not to fret about it, when it comes to work I like things nice
and routine and stable, and this is none of those. Oh well. Came home,
checked on feezles, and went over to
Amythest's. She knew I was in a bad mood, so she made dinner, a
very nummy combo of kielbasa sausage, Stove Top stuffing, and cheese.
Probably would have been better if my stomach wasn't feeling twitchy. Then
we watched NCIS episodes. Including one with Danica Mckellar as a cute
nerd girl. *Happy fox* Came home, played with ferrets, took a shower, and
now getting ready for bed. Tomorrow will be a busy day of moving crap from
old office to storage and/or the Shoggoth Pit. Not fun, but it should go by
fast. Lets hope I get some decent sleep tonight, I need it. Hope everyone
has a good night, and a good Thursday. I probably won't be around til the
night.
It's Wednesday, and I've got the glums. Don't wanna be here, rather be
at home with the ferrets. Or my book, hiding in my book would be a
good thing. But no, I'm a good employee and at the shoggoth pit. Today
I'll be packing up my workstations and hauling them home for storage until
we go to the new building. Not sure where I'm going to store them, but I'll
worry about that later. Tonight is
Amythest time, which should be good.
Not much else going on, so I'm going to get going, catch ya later.
Well, the work be almost over. Didn't do much while LJ was down, worked
some, answered some Minion questions, tinkered with ping.fm. Got it setup
so I can update via mobile to Twitter, Facebook and LJ all at once from
my mobile. Good for those moments when I care to share what I'm up to,
and not at the computer. Don't worry, I don't plan on posting a blow
by blow of my life. No posts of 'going to dinner', unless the dinner be
post worthy ;)
No wild plans for tonight...if I feel brave, I may go grocery shopping...
but I have a feeling I'm just going to stay in, watch tv and play wow.
Oh, and eat leftovers. Quiet vulpine evening. Started 'Drums of Chaos'
today while on break, so far quite happy. Yeah, I finished what I had
been reading last night before bed. So yes, happy fox with Cthulhu in
Roman times.
Really not much else going on. 30 min to go, then time to flee. Yay for
fleeing. And for home :)
Before the great Blackout of 2008 I feel the need to post. Not about anything
important ;) Had a good night of WoW, CSI: Miami and ferret time. Slept good,
save I was dreaming about having to setup firewalls. Now at work, wondering
how the slow day will go without LJ. Oh well, I have audio books and zombie
games and twitter, I should be amused enough. And if that doesn't work, I have
work ;) Good luck, see you after (I hope) ;)
Had an amusing chat with the Minion today. He's looking at a spam complaint,
and has questions.
Minion: I'm looking though the httpd logs on this server.
Me: Why are you doing that ?
Minion: Well, the spam is a nobody spam, so it had to be generated by a
script off a website.
Me: Not necessarily, did you already check the /tmp and /var/tmp for
files stashed ?
Minion: *short pause* Are you saying that's a good idea, or saying it
because you already know what it is ? And how do you already know
what it is ?
Me: *chuckle* Soon, you too will know the power of the dark side.
Forgot today was the annual Shoggoth Pit turkey dinner. Went for a walk, and
came in via the old tech entrance. Where half the company was sitting around
eating, then yelling at me to get food. Got food, fled to my office to eat.
Bleah, turkey. I do not like turkey, sam I am ;) Never have been a
fan of the bird. Enjoyed the cornbread and corn much more. So glad me and
Mom aren't having to deal with turkey on Turkey Day. Going to a Soup
Fest at Nymaz's place instead,
much cooler in my book.
Well, it's Monday, and not a bad monday at that. At work, found out from the
boss that we'll be working from home next week. Yay :) And yes, that means
really working, not just leveling in WoW. ;) Gotta make sure I have lots
of tv shows queued up on Netflix for next week ;)
Had a good night last night, came home from
Amythest's place around 9:30 or so,
played with ferrets, watched some TV, snagged a shower and was in bed by
midnight. Slept good, fairly solid even.
No wild plans for this week. Tonight will be leftover chinese food, then
probably WoW, then ferret time and bedtime. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping
and errand running, then home, dinner and WoW. Kinda dull, but I'll take
dull ;)
Not alot else going on, guess I should get back to the Shoggoth Pit. Ciao :)
Been a busy day so far. Got up, cleaned the ferret cage. I still love the
new cage, scrubbing down the floor was easy as pie. Then I went, snagged
Mom, and we went out for breakfast. Then grocery shopping for her for the
month. Dropped her off, went by the store myself to get a few things
for me. Came home, destressed from shopping for a bit, then went out to
get ferret food, then over to Amythest
's to do laundry and hang out. Watching 'Nightmare on Elm Street' right now,
and waiting on dinner to be delivered. Life is good. ;)
Had a very nice night. Went out to thesilia and
R.'s wedding reception. Was me,
Amythest, techie_,
strongbow, and Skipper of no website driving up to the middle
of nowhere Texas. Got there, hung around with P & H, as well as
bookpixie and kyojinkobu, whom we haven't seen
in a long time. Was a nice crowd of people, got to meet several Guild
mates from WoW. Came back home around midnight, then got coerced
ask nicely by the lovely luckyckljw to help her figure out some
Ekiga foo. It's kinda fun, and
not just looking at the cute girl making Mac and Cheese ;) Need to figure
out why it didn't work on linux though. Oh well, will figure that out
another day.
Going to bed in a little while, tomorrow is taking Mom to the store, then
errands and laundry. Wee.
Ok, setup. All is good. Got
Shub-Internet and
Yog-Sothoth back up
and running, the wires are neater, and I still have room for stuff.
I need to move the TV up a bit, make it more watchable. But yay for new
deskness.
Just finished putting my 'new' desk together. Now to unload all the crap
from the old desk, shut down the computers, move them over. Put new desk in
place of old desk, hook everything back up and see how it goes :) Wish
me luck.
Well, karma decided to be amusing today. Boss left early, I decided to cut
out around 4. Start driving home, and get a call from the Boss. He needs
me to pack up and go to the data center, the NOC has no network. The servers
are fine, but the techs can't hit anything. Tell boss I don't have my laptop,
start looking to turn around and go back, when I remember...I have
Uxia at home. Tell boss I'll be there in about 10 min. Head home, grab
laptop, go to DC. Grab Cisco cable and try to console in to the PIX
firewall. Eep, Uxia doesn't have minicom install (terminal program to talk
to firewalls and switches, among other things.) Start to curse, then
remember that the server build area has a seperate connection than the
NOC, aka it should work. Get on net, download minicom, run back, plug in
to pix...no stuff. Crap. Tinker with configs, no dice. Find another
cable, wee...I'm in. Call boss, we find the errant access list foo that was
causing the problem, remove it. Yay, we can haz network.
So yeah, instead of getting home an hour early, I get home 30 min late ;)
At least I could fix it, and the boss thinks I rock. Worth being late :)
Well, it's Friday. Yay Friday. At work, just finished packing up my old
desk and stashing it in the Passport. We're getting rid of the old L shaped
desks we've had for aeons here at the Shoggoth Pit, and I bought my old
one. Should make a decent desk for home.
Work is slow today, one coworker is out, the boss and the minion were both
late. Had me wondering if I missed something saying 'Work from home today'.
Nope, no such luck. Not much going on, minion is slowly getting the hang
of tickets. Trying to be patient, and not just show him what to do. I've
never been a good teacher, but I'm trying. :)
Had a good night last night, WoW, ferret time, then to bed mostly early.
Slept alright. Glad it's almost the weekend. Hope everyone has a great
day.
Arwen's been acting a little off, and his symptoms sound like he's developing
another hairball. So, to nip this in the bud I went to get ferret laxative,
aka weasel grease. So I'll be giving him the grease for a while, see if
it helps. And so Nyx and Whiskey don't have to suffer though a major
hairball like Arwen, they are getting a smaller dose of the grease. Nyx
and Arwen think it tastes fine, Whiskey didn't want to have anything to do
with it. But after scruffing him and plopping some in his mouth, he seemed
to actually like it a bit. So, I can hope he'll be a little more open minded
in his food tastes. We can hope. I have some ideas for feezle Cthulhumas
gifts from things I found at the petstore. I love my feezlebutts, and I know
most of you seem to like my ferret stories, so I'll keep babbling :)
