I just got home after working my regular shift, and mandatory overtime. I go back to work tonight at 2230.
I'm going to be trying to get some sleep while you're watching the economy plummet. All in all, I think that I'll have gotten the better end of the deal... Hang in there, Al. It only gets worse. Sincerely, Your Little Ray of Sunshine in the Morning.[;D] |

Not many people here today....only 4 people on my floor so far and not expecting too many more (about 50 on this floor during normal day). Should be a great day to catch up on some work. |

I work at 1900 hours. I woke up to the sound of thunder a few minutes ago, and quickly realized it was already raining.
Oh crap, did I leave my truck window down? Run out there in the pouring rain to find out that I did, in fact, leave the window down. Nothing had gotten wet yet. |

Nope I'm working today too. There are six of us working, keeping the Verizon telephones working in four counties. Lots of windshield time and wandering around in the boonies. I had put in for a personal day but someone with more time got the day instead. To make it even worse vacation starts Monday.

How's the guy doing? I hope someone takes the time to explain to the miscreants why it is that they enjoy the wonderful freedoms bestowed upon them by the heroic actions of all vets who served their country. I also hope the judge throws the book at them. (As I sit here listening to the "Band of Brothers" CD.) [pissed] And yea...I'm at the (nearly empty) office. It sucks too because the super turned off the A/C since it isn't a "normal work day". Looks like an early get away today. Too damn hot in DC for this crap. |

Yup, I'm working too. The life of an engineer is never dull. Sounded like a friggin war zone in my subdivision last night. Everybody was trying to "out do" each other.
I was contemplating unloading a few 30 rounders to join the fun. If I'd had a few more Sapphires in me, I just might have done it. Instead, I just threw a brick of black cats in the back yard. One of the 1000 count types. It lasted for a little while. Then I went to bed dreaming of 1000 yard 10 ring hits...... |

Quoted: Yup. Perfect day for us network guys to make changes to Servers and other IT stuff. Less people complain today (less people at work.) I am installing patches as we speak. For a brief time I considered moving a bunch of our data catalogs from Oracle 8i to 9i. Then I thought to myself.... "Why in the hell do you want to do that today????" So, it's a cush day. Score one for me though. The CEO was trying to remote from Hilton Head and couldn't get in. I walked him right through it and he's happy as a lark. [0:)] |
