I should have said “HELL NO!!”

July 15, 2004 By: bio Category: General

It’s 3:51 am and I’m awake and at work.

People are doing the whole vacation thing and we’re short handed at the moment. So…. I got lucky and get to fill in for the night shift again (thank God for coffee!!).

It’s kind of a pain in the butt to do right now. I get up around midnight and have to wake someone up at 1:00 am to put my back brace on (something I can’t do by myself). My wife has to work in the morning, so I got my eldest son to strap me up. I also can’t take any pain meds because I have to drive. It makes for a very long night.

I am gonna talk to my boss and ask her if she can keep me out of the graveyard rotation until after I get out of the brace (hopefully around August 12th). This ought to make my family slightly more happy (and well rested).

At least I have something good to eat: Mesquite Steak with jalapenio potatoes and a red pepper, corn, and bean mix. Nummy!

Lets see… what else is new….

My boss came to me on tuesday and asked me to set up couple servers for a new product. This is an install I’ve never seen before, but I’m never gonna say “no”. After talking to engineering I was told it takes about 10 days to get it all configured (read: it’s a bitch to set up!).

I got most of it set up by the end of yesterday and just have a few tweaks left to make it complete. Not bad for 3 days work! 🙂

The following image pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment (going off of morphine is no picnic!)
