Last week was kind of a mess at work. About a year ago, one of our servers (remember that I’m a network administrator?) had a problem and trashed a bunch of data. I spent hours trying to dig out from that mess. We had data corruption and other unpleasantness.
Guess what episode repeated itself last week? On Wednesday I got a call in the morning that “the computers are messed up”. Normally not a real big deal. I travelled onsite (about 30 minutes away) and didn’t get home until 2:30 Thursday morning! My boss was kind enough to bring me a hoagie for supper. Friday I didn’t get home until about 10:30 pm as we replaced that server with a different one. Today was spent trying to recover some trashed data, which will not be completely recovered. That makes me unhappy.
The rest of my week will be pretty hectic too. Consultants coming in Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to do network troubleshooting or server setup. Those are good times to learn and work, but it does interrupt normal things.
I had a fairly long meeting this evening at church and Wednesday is our church’s Grand Prix. I run the computerized finish line for that.
Anyway, that’s my week as I see it from here. It’s also bitterly cold out.
I’ll try to update again with some important and significant changes in my life, plus our latest ER visit. Guess who that was!

I liked all the comments (even if half of them were Narelle being silly!).
I’m trying to get back into the Xanga swing of things.

‘That makes me unhappy’
As it should, in that I am unhappy about work, and ONLY WORK sort of way.

Seriously though……. praying for you and yours sir!
There is always hope that the next week will be a much better one, and I certainly do hope that whoever it was at the ER, that you feel better!
Blessings to you all.

I will be praying for you this week. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
