Topic: What are you doing right now?

Good luck

Sitting uncomfortably, thinking of everything I could be doing.

I'm nervous.

Of course you are.    But probably he isn't so everything is going to be OK.

When I went to take him at 10.45 to get there at 11.15 (cut off is 11.30), my bike decided not to start and then the battery died.  My neighbour happened to come out of her house while we were trying to bump start it which wasn't going to happen, and said she'd take him in her car.  It was a long shot as in a car the journey could take an hour but we had to try.  Traffic was not bad which is unusual and we were all happy thinking we were going to make it, when we hit a wall of traffic about a mile and a half away.  After 5 yards in 5 minutes the boy and I decided the run there instead. 

We got there at around 11.29.

Now I cannot find my battery charger for love nor money and will have to go and get him on the train. Before that though I have to try and get my sister-in-law to pick my daughter up.

Stoopid bad luck day.

Crap. I hope it gets better.

It all worked out in the end. I'm shattered from it though.

I'm glad to hear that.

Right now I'm trying to avoid preparing dinner. Usually I don't mind it but today I don't feel like cooking.
BTW, last night I burned my wrist and forearm with boiling water. It's a nice pinkish red today. I'm thinking... if it was a paid job I'd be on leave.

I'd take the leave anyhoo. 

Right now I am celebrating the fact that after 5 weeks of sticking it to eNom, Softlayer and the incredibly shitty Mr Site, I have managed to get a .com domain successfully transferred into my account.

Only another 7 days and I'll be able to start work on a new Ballet site (my daughter's dance class).

Trying to recoup from a very crappy day.  Had insomnia and didn't get to sleep until around 3:45am-4am.  Had to get up by no later than 7:30am because I had a Dell TS guy coming to replace a mobo in a new, yet problematic server.  Starbucks was busy so I got to work a little late and he was waiting for me so I put my coffee and breakfast sammich in my cube and took him to the testbed area to work on the server.  The location of the testbed area requires all visitors  to be accompanied by someone.  After about 3.5 hours, we discover that the replacement mobo is defective as well (bent pins on one of the cpu sockets).  Well, there is no more replacement mobo in the region so they had to have it driven in from West VA.  The tech comes back when the new mobo arrives around 2:40pm.  We start swapping it out and mutha *expletive deleted* if this mobo doesn't have bent pins on BOTH cpu sockets.  Also, discovered that someone bunged up one of the cpu heatsinks pretty good.

Anyway, this server was 1 of 2 that is supposed to be set up in a satellite office about 5 hours away.  The other server was perfectly fine and was taken to the office last weekend.  I've been fighting with this one for a 10 days and it's worse off now then when it started.  Fourth replacement mobo is scheduled to get here on Monday.

Damn I'm glad it's the weekend.

[mishca09]

that does sound like a really crappy day. What kind sandwich and coffee did you get from starbucks?

[dweez]

I always get a Vente Caramel Mocha and usually get a plain bagel, toasted with cream cheese but they were out of them (Out of plain bagels at 7:50am?!?!?!) so I went with a Ham & Cheddar Artisan Sammich which, after reading the nutritional info, I'll never get again.  After 3 hours, neither was particularly tasty.
