Busy, busy

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was writing an email to someone yesterday and trying to explain why I had taken so long to get back to them. So I started listing out all the things I’ve been doing since the end of 2002 that took time away from catching up my email. In the last month I’ve studied for and passed A+ exams, launched a new website, purchased and installed (3 times) a Windows server, kept this website updated, and spent hours researching and submitting resumes as part of a search for a new job. All of this on top of working 40 hours a week and trying to stay in touch with my wife.

And the sad thing is, there’s still a whole bunch more that I need to do. The job search is ongoing, the server will need a couple of new OS installs and tons of other “learning projects” done, both websites need to be kept up to date, I need to start looking at another certification, either Network + or something that would get me an MCP designation, a number of small computer projects that I need to take care of around the house, and my wife and my job are still going to be there!

Suddenly, I feel very tired. 🙂

    Last night, I met a friend for drinks and dinner after work. Imagine, if you will, a very hip drinking establishment, right smack dab in the middle of the Arena district of Columbus.

    According to the announcement, it seems this maintenance release is mostly about trying to combat comment spam. Good idea! Of course, I haven’t even managed to find the time to upgrade the Child Abuse site to 2.65, let alone 2.66. I’m now two releases behind, gah! I’ve got some work to do! Follow these topics:…

    I should have known there would be problems when Angela called me yesterday afternoon to ask about how to reset the router beccause our internet connection was being flaky. Resetting the router worked for the moment, but by the time I got home the connection was pretty much kaput again. Figuring it was RoadRunner and…

    We’re in Chattanooga tonight, had stops today at the Lost Sea and the Tennessee Aquarium. We took lots of pictures, but there’s no wi-fi available from our hotel, only dial-up so uploading pics will probably wait until we get home. After all of the events of last week, it feels good to be away. Now…

    Some days you’re sitting here and everything’s working well, no one really is hitting you up with requests and you’re almost, dare I say it, a little bored. Other days, well, many things don’t work and everyone needs something from you now, and you just don’t see how you can possibly get to everything. Needless…
