One of those days

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I had hoped the short week due to Thanksgiving would be a relatively quiet one, but today definitely did not fit into that plan. One of our servers crashed early this morning, creating all kinds of havoc around the helpdesk, and the day pretty much went downhill from there. It was one of those days where everything was a struggle, everything took more energy than it should have, nothing worked exactly the way you’d expect it to, people didn’t listen to what I was telling them, etc.

I’m wore out, grumpy, and I don’t believe I’ve ever been so glad that tomorrow is the last work day of the week.

That being said, we’ll be out of town visiting Angela’s parents all weekend in the land of dialup, so it might be quiet around here. Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving, at least those of you in the US who are celebrating it!

    We’re off in the morning (A 5:30 flight, ugh!) for a long weekend of site-seeing, exploring, photographing and eating our way around Philadelphia, with a one-day side trip up to N.Y.C.

    How do you like the new logo? It’s a little bit silly, but then, so am I! It has now officially been installed throughout the site as the Life of a One-Man IT Department logo. You know you want it on a coffee mug. 🙂 (Perhaps eventually…?) Follow these topics: Uncategorized
