Done for the week [02 Jul 2009|05:04pm]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | Revenge of the Sith on TV ]

Done for the week. Spent today tracing cables and verifying they were good. Tedious as hell. And alot of walking back and forth. My feet are killing me. Tonight my only plan is to veg and relax. Might go to Borders Books and use a coupon I got. Might not. We'll see. I really should hit the showers. I also need food. We'll see what I do.

Survived another day slaving away. Wasn't a bad day, just hot and
tiring. Hope tomorrow is easy and goes by fast.

My day [29 Jun 2009|06:44pm]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | Bones on TV ]

Well work today was...interesting. Not really, actually it was kinda dull. We spent the day clearing old cable from the ceiling. Learned how to use a scissor lift, ran around alot and generally sweated like a pig. Tomorrow we finish reclaiming cables and run drops for the new NOC and offices for sales and billing. Going to be a long while at the new DC. Tomorrow I'm heading in around 7:30, and boss man was talking about working til 7 or so. So yeah, 12 hour days for a while. Not fun, not fun at all. But I will survive.

On the positive side, it's a short week, I have alot of fun plans for my 3 day weekend. And right now I'm home and vegging. Yay vegging. Lets hope for a quiet night, and a calm day tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

[ mood | alright ]

First time in a long time I've been glad it's a Monday. Why, cause I'm no longer on call. ;) Yay. Waiting on the boss to get organized, then we're traveling off to the new DC to run cable. Wild fun. Especially since the building doesn't have full power, so no AC. This should be...fun ;) Oh well, I have gatoraide and water, I will survive. Won't be online much, well til after 5ish. Wish me luck :)

Well, I got talked into seeing 'Transformers 2' today. Wasn't a movie I was really wanting to see. But, my friends wanted to go, and I didn't want to be alone. So I went, and well...it wasn't as bad as it could be, it wasn't good. I never thought I'd say "I'm sick of explosions and Megan Fox running", but really someone should teach Mr Bay something about movie pacing. Now I'm back at Amythest's place, finishing up my laundry. Then home in a while, tomorrow starts the busy week of heck at work. But I'm also off oncall in about 12 hours, which is a good thing. Not much else going on.

[ mood | sleepy ]

Well, my plan to defeat the moodswings with escaping home worked out well. Went to Borders Books, and got a new Charles Stross novel. Stopped by Sonic, got a cherry limeaide, then headed to Target. I picked up a lockbox for home, for things like my birth certificate, car titles and whatnot. I had been using my Dad's service lockbox, but a long while back I had to break into it to get a key for my car...and became a non-lock box. So this was a good thing to get, and I got it cheap. I also got a penny candy style jar for my desk. Planning to keep Starburst or such at my desk for when I have a need for a small sugar rush. Then I headed over to Amythest's place to watch NCIS episodes until we headed out to a movie. We, plus a bunch of other D/FW Ufies List members, went to see 'Night at the Museum 2'. It was cute, fun and generally enjoyable. Leave logic at the door, and just enjoy the ride...and tentacles. Yes, there was a giant octopus in the movie, which made me a happy fox. After the movie, we hit Red Robin for dinner, which was tasty. Then, to keep with the socializing, we invaded a local Starbucks, sat around and shot the breeze. Was a fun night. Then I ran Amythest home, and came home myself. Seriously tempted to head to bed shortly. Hopefully tomorrow will be as good a day as today was. I see me and Amythest having a major NCIS marathon...yay ;) Catch you all later.

Loading audiobooks onto Cephalopod, then going to go out and run around. Maybe getting out of the house will fix this funk I'm in.

Friday night movie night [26 Jun 2009|09:03pm]
[ mood | good ]

Nothing like watching movies on Friday night and just relaxing. Just finished an old Kung Fu movie that I've been looking for on and off for probably 20+ years now. Back in NY, the local Fox channel did Kung Fu movies on Saturday afternoon, and I watched religiously. They had all sorts, but my favorites were the ones set in the past. One was about a marriage between a Chinese and a Japanese martial artist, and how due to his utter cluelessness about marriage, things go badly. The movie is called 'Heroes of the East' among many other things. Still good, even after all these years.

Now I'm watching a movie I *ahem* obtained, the new Dunwich Horror, with Jeffrey Combs as good ol Wilbur Whately. Just started, but so far it looks like cheesy fun. After that, dunno. Probably ferret time, or maybe another movie. We'll see.

Glad this week is over, now to survive the weekend, then I'm off call. Which will be good too. Not sure what I have planned for the weekend. I'm just going to play it by ear. Make sure I have fun though. Definitely much have fun.

Saw the new Shoggoth Pit [26 Jun 2009|01:24pm]
[ mood | ok ]

Drove over to where we're moving the Shoggoth Pit. Kind of a long commute compared to my current 1 mile and some. But, the building is nice, lots of room, and I'll have a cube again. Yay cube space. The down side, we're still working on installing the essentials, and next week me and the Network group will be over running cable and stuff. In no AC. In July. In Texas. I expect to sweat like a pig. And complain alot. But it will be worth it. The new Pit will be nice. *grin* So yeah, trying to keep a positive attitude and aim for the prize...

A cube for all the crap I have ;)

Well, it's Friday. Thank Cthulhu. Be glad when this dippy week is over. Nothing much going on, about to head to the new DC to plot and plan with the boss. Then back to the Shoggoth Pit to finish out the day. Tonight I'll be catching up on Netflix and other movies, eating leftovers and generally not doing much. Sounds like a good way to start the weekend. That's about it. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Ciao :)

Here comes the judge. [24 Jun 2009|12:57pm]
[ mood | sweaty ]

Well, today I went to court to deal with my ticket I got at the begining of the month. Couldn't just pay it, I had to see the judge. Goofy Bedford. So I wait til court starts at 10. Listen to people talking about how this isn't fair, and how can there be a warrant out for my arrest, I never got my copy of the ticket. Umm, ok...good luck with the judge on that.

So we get in, we get the spiel of what the judge expects, calls off names, and waits for the plea (guilty, not guilty, guilty with deferment). Get to my name, go for deferment. I thought about doing defensive driving, but knowing my screwy brain, I'd forget to take it. So a while passes, and people talk to the judge. Then they try to leave. And half the time, they don't notice the sign saying 'push the exit button' and they get stuck. *sigh* My turn comes, go in front of the judge. Get 90 days probation and a nice fine. But no record if I don't screw up. So not so bad.

Get to work kinda late, but it was planned. Helped move some stuff around that's going over to the new building. Yay new network kit. Not much else. Tonight is movies and Mythbusters probably, and hopefully some good sleep. Well, I can dream ;)

Mood is better than last night, thanks to everyone who commented with nifty things. *saves the comments for mood elevation* Guess I should get back to the shoggoth pit. Ciao :)

On Call Vulpine [23 Jun 2009|12:44pm]
[ music | Eben Brooks - Hey There, Cthulhu ]

Well, it's offical. I join the on call rotation this week. *thud* Really hope noone calls me tonight, I need sleep. Trying to not get anxious about it, it really isn't a big deal. A few calls here and there, mostly goofy stuff. And I checked the on call schedule, and I'm not on call for most of the major holidays this year, including my bday. So no complaints from me on that. I just need to get my mind switched over to being on call. It's been a very long time since I was officially on call.

Ugg, zombie fox. [23 Jun 2009|10:40am]
[ mood | tired ]

Load balancer install went well, site is loading pretty snappily now. We had a few goofs last night, ended up getting stumped by a weird error. So after google and documentation both failed me, I called the boss. Well, not quite. In my exhaustion, I called Nymaz (his number is near my bosses). Oops. Call the right number, and just as he picks up...I figure out the problem. Poor boss. Get it all working and tested and such. Call the client, he's happy. Message the boss with we're done, it's cool, and I'm going to bed. Drag myself away from talkative Unix admins, get home around 3:30. Crash out around 4:30. Alarm goes off at 9...oy vey. Drag my happy ass to work, now to not fall asleep at my keyboard. So how are you lot doing ? Hopefully all is well and spiffy in LJ land.

Load balancer installed. Ran into some oops, but fixed them fairly quickly. Finishing up, then home.
