The Godfather

You know that scene in The Godfather 3 where Michael mourns about how “I thought I was out, but they keep dragging me back in…” (paraphrased greatly!)?

That pretty much sums up my week. Annual Meeting being over should have marked a return to normal work priorities, and little less stress. Unfortunately, real life doesn’t actually work that way. Turns out instead that I’ll be picking up some more responsibilities temporarily while we have an employee on leave of absence, there’s been a delay in finding a replacement for another position for which I’m backup and all-around troubleshooter for the folks actually picking up her responsibilities, and a project that normally takes place in June is being moved up to as early as next week.

Pretty much life in IT, isn’t it? 😉

On the plus side, my darling wife gave me an early birthday present when she found out the Dodgers were going to be in Cincy this weekend, and I’ll be tripping down there to see the game Saturday afternoon. That’ll be fun, even though her other plans mean I’ll be there on my own.

    Got an email yesterday asking me to think about linking to another blog. This one was actually respectful, nice, personalized, and gave me the impression that at the very least this person read my blog a little bit before asking. That’s always good. My immediate response was still no, but with some caveats. Now that…

    I’ve been thinking about a couple of things for awhile now and I feel like I should share with you some of the reasons why I am doing things the way I am. First, the switch to Flickr from the galleries, that will be taking place bit by bit over the next few weeks or…

    I see the full-feed/partial-feed debate has risen it’s ugly head again. Oh joy, just when I thought I might have missed something while I was toiling in the land of dialup at my in-laws all weekend, and then driving home today. Nope, same old crap. People with advertising, who are worried about the money they…

    It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s…
