Tuesday: Many annoying things at work, including hearing that there would be dinner on Wednesday for lots of people. I couldn’t attend, of course. Anyway, there was trivia, since we’d moved it. This was pretty good and we were in the lead when I left. The restaurant was pretty noisy, so I thought Kelli had said, “Michelle got a job where she’ll be cross-dressing for a bank!” (Of course, Michelle is processing for this bank, which makes a lot more sense. Unless some bank wants Eddie Izzard to be their spokesman—that’d be crazy, but possibly crazy enough to work.)
Naturally, I got a trouble ticket just as I left trivia. It said, “X is not updating!” After I’d gotten home and logged in, I found that X had updated twice during the car ride home. Ah well.
Wednesday: Didn’t get much better. There was some “routine maintenance” early that morning that was anything but, as a bunch of stuff fell over. I saw problems as soon as I woke up, and fixed a bunch of them while eating breakfast. At least it was mostly reasonable once I got to the office. I didn’t have time to pack a lunch that day. I went to a restaurant that had opened a few weeks ago, just to try it out. The cashier got my order completely wrong. At least the bacon and egg panini that I got was pretty good. Then I got a set of really dumb trouble tickets. It’s always something.
Rock Band 3 with Steve and Stephanie happened, even though we called it a bit of an early night. That was fun since we didn’t get to do that last week.
Thursday: They scheduled a meeting that was going to take most of the day. Of course, I’d also planned to drive all the way out to the secondary datacenter to do some installs on a bunch of machines that day. It mostly worked out. We moved the 2 areas that I was most involved in to the beginning of the meeting, so I could leave before lunch and go fix everything else. Traffic was horrible while driving back from the secondary datacenter, though.
The buses aren’t running tomorrow, which means I’ll be working from home. This isn’t as fun as some people might think. Moira will be sitting on my lap for most of the day. Anyway, I think most of the bad bits have been taken care of, until the next Horrible Crisis occurs. . . .

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI think that I would rather try to work from home with a cat in my lap than continue to try and not scream obscenities at my coworkers and supervisors all day.
Then again, I remember having worked from home before, and I found it became hard to not get all of my days work done in about 20 minutes and then mess around for the rest of the day.
